After a five-month absence, rugby makes its long-awaited return to the Northern Hemisphere, kicking off with a bang in the English Premiership this weekend, with several British and Irish Lions strutting. Rugby fans can book South Africa A Vs British And Irish Lions Tickets on our website on exclusively discounted prices.
With the 2021 Tour to South Africa now less than a year
away, players from the British Isles will be eager to prove their worth as they
seek a spot on Warren Gatland's team. The club's impressive performances are
vital and the Gatland Lions head coach will keep an eye out for the Premiership,
which is poised for an exciting conclusion to the campaign.
England
takes center stage
The Guinness PRO14 won't be back until next week, so
England's top flight can steal the spotlight for a week as it begins its
descent to an exciting conclusion.
The Exeter Chiefs rank at the top of the list, five points
ahead of Sale, and face the Leicester Tigers on Saturday with an XV containing
two-time tourist and Scotland captain Stuart Hogg on its bottom line. Leicester
has its fair share of Lions too, with scrum-half Ben Youngs, hooker Tom Youngs
and mainstay Dan Cole set to appear.
Manu's
debut
But all eyes will be first on Sale, who will debut the 2013
Leon Manu Tuilagi against Harlequins on Friday night.
The power forward joined from Leicester during blocking and
fits into an electric back division that also features prolific England winger
Chris Ashton, while South African duo Faf de Klerk and Lood de Jager are
definitely worth keeping an eye on with the long-awaited next year's series in
mind.
There are three more games scheduled for Saturday afternoon
and the Lions everywhere, especially in the Saracens group, with Mako Vunipola,
Jamie George and Maro Itoje set to face third-placed Bristol Bears.
Vunipola could scrum against his England teammate and colleague
Leon Kyle Sinckler in 2017, who is expected to make his Bristol debut from the
bench, while, 22 kilometers down the road, and Irish winger Sean O'Brien will
be the captain of the London Irish in Bath.
Anthony Watson, Jonathan Joseph and Taulupe Faletau will
star for Bath, who are just five points away from a semi-final. On Sunday, the
team sitting in that last spot, Northampton Saints, will restart their campaign
against the Wasps, with Courtney Lawes and Dan Biggar, both 2017 tourists, part
of their squad. It is expected to be an exciting weekend and a great way to
kick off 12 months of rugby.
