How you can watch two of the biggest teams in England kick off their PREM seasons – for free.
Watch Leicester Tigers v Saracens as two of the biggest and most successful teams Gallagher PREM history begin their seasons at Welford Road.
Leicester are not losing much in their East Midlands stronghold, and will be feeling confident after reaching the semi-finals of the play-offs last year. They lost to eventual champions Northampton Saints that day, but head coach Geoff Parling is entering his second year in charge and looks to be building something impressive. The arrivals of Aaron Wainwright, Mako Vunipola and Joel Sclavi will strengthen an already impressive squad.
There are many more changes for Sarries, where Mark McCall has stepped down as director of rugby after 17 years in charge. His predecessor, Brendan Venter, has taken over the reins, and the London side look set to hit the ground running. They made some impressive signings of their own, notably George Martin, Alfie Barbeary and Tomos Williams.
Both sides will be desperate for a win in this Sunday afternoon fixture.
