PREMIERSHIP
Play our Premiership fantasy game with our friends over at SuperBru!
One match on Friday starts Round Seven of the Premiership season with the pick of the week's games seeing Bath host Gloucester at the Rec.
Ninth-placed Sale Sharks and second-placed Exeter Chiefs start the round at the AJ Bell Stadium in an intriguing clash, with new England call-up Sam Simmonds' start on the openside flank up against fellow squad member Tom Curry set to get a decent amount of pre-match airtime.
Elsewhere this weekend, pace-setters Saracens host a London Irish side looking to build on their strong form in Europe, Harlequins will be eager to bounce back from last weekend's loss to Wasps when they host Worcester and Newcastle versus Leicester should be a cracking clash.
Here's our predictions:
Sale v Exeter: Exeter by 8
Harlequins v Worcester: Harlequins by 15
Northampton v Wasps: Wasps by 4
Saracens v London Irish: Saracens by 20
Bath v Gloucester: Bath by 5
Newcastle v Leicester: Newcastle by 3
PRO14
Conference leaders Glasgow and Scarlets both have home games this weekend, hosting the Kings and Cardiff Blues respectively in the PRO14.
The Warriors are the only unbeaten side left in the competition with six wins and six and with the disappointments of their Champions Cup pool start still fresh in their mind, they will be determined to bounce back with a strong performance in front of their supporters at Scotstoun this Friday.
Friday's other matches see an Irish derby between Connacht and Munster and an all-Welsh one between Ospreys and Dragons take place.
More derbies come on Saturday as Ulster tackle Leinster before Round Seven concludes in Llanelli as Scarlets play host to Cardiff Blues.
Here's our predictions:
Connacht v Munster: Munster by 2
Glasgow Warriors v Kings: Glasgow by 28
Ospreys v Dragons: Ospreys by 12
Treviso v Edinburgh: Edinburgh by 8
Zebre v Cheetahs: Cheetahs by 3
Ulster v Leinster: Leinster by 5
Scarlets v Cardiff Blues: Scarlets by 10
