What to watch in women’s rugby: Tigers host Trailfinders in PWR

Two teams in need of some momentum to kickstart their Premiership Women’s Rugby seasons meet at Welford Road on Sunday, and you can watch the action live and free on RugbyPass TV.

Hosts Leicester Tigers head into the match still looking for their first win of the new campaign and above bottom-placed Sale Sharks only by virtue of the try bonus point they picked up against Gloucester-Hartpury on the opening weekend.

Scoring five tries against the back-to-back champions is no mean feat, however, and there were signs in the second half of their 31-17 defeat to Harlequins in round three that there is more to come from Tigers.

Certainly, a squad boasting the talents of Amy Cokayne, Tess Feury and Francesca McGhie will back themselves to climb the table.

But if they are to lift themselves upwards then, as head coach Tom Hudson has noted, performances at home need to improve – starting with Sunday’s visit of Trailfinders Women.

The club from Ealing head into round five just one place and five points above their hosts, their round-two victory against Loughborough Lightning being sandwiched between defeats to Saracens and Exeter Chiefs.

Trailfinders will take confidence from the relatively close nature of those losses, 38-29 at StoneX Stadium and 36-25 at Sandy Park, as they hit the road for the third time this season.

Victory in Leicester this Sunday would lift Trailfinders into top-four contention and with Abby Dow, Lisa Thomson and Chloe Rollie in contention to start in an exciting backline, Tigers will certainly have their hands full in defence.

England superstar Dow scored one of her side’s four tries when the teams last met at Welford Road in February, fly-half Julia Schell ending the match with 14 points as Trailfinders won 29-14.

You can find out whether history will repeat, or if Tigers can pick up only their third PWR win, via RugbyPass TV except in the UK, Ireland, Canada and the USA.
