SARACENS

Sarries welcome two big additions to their pack, with the free transfer of World Class lock Patricio Albacete set to line up next to Lionel Nallet in a formidable partnership and with hard working and robust, Nick Easter replacing the out of form Wycliff Palu. Matt Todd is very unlucky to miss out on a place in the 22 this week. Another one of the S15 players of the season, Ben Smith sits on the bench, ready to cover any of his New Zealand compatriots' spots on the bench!

Leicester 24 – 20 Bath
(T) Moore, Broussow ; Youngs, Dowson
(C) Flood (1/2) ; Carter (2/2)
(P) Flood (4/4) ; Carter (2/3)
MOTM: Moore

Leicester have too much quality upfront and pulverised the front row battle. Bath's backs possibly edged the Tigers, but away from home and starved from ball, there was only one winner

Leinster 23 - 19 Toulon
(T) Earls, Ferris ; Kelleher
(C) Sexton (2/2) ; Slade (0/2)
(P) Sexton (3/3) ; Slade (3/3)
MOTM: Ferris

Hard to see an area where Toulon can win, with the trusted lock combo at Leinster handing out a lesson. De Jongh and 'Brain' O'Driscoll proved a nice foil to each other, with Toulon's midfield looking a little too one dimensional. Toulon's electric back three sparked well and was fed admirably by a mobile and athletic back row.

Ospreys 21 – 21 Scots
(T) Matfield, SBW ; Halfpenny, Davies
(C) Steyn (1/2) ; Cooper (1/2)
(P) Steyn (3/3) ; Cooper (3/4)
MOTM: Matfield

Two very even teams, would have Scots edging front and back rows. Ospreys win the lineout, but the form of Cooper puts an off colour TOL and Steyn to shame. SBW and Fruean try to get it going in midfield and release the danger men out wide, but Scots also have quality to defend outside channels.
