The action gets underway on Friday night, when Bristol Bears host Gloucester, with both sides on the end of defeats in their big matches against Harlequins in Cardiff and Leicester Tigers at Villa Park respectively.

Saturday sees the Tigers host Newcastle Red Bulls, with the Welford Road faithful hoping to see Leicester strengthen their grip on a play-off place and push Bath and Northampton Saints for the home semi-final spots.

Saints themselves visit Exeter Chiefs in a massive match between first and fourth at Sandy Park, in a game which sees the best attack take on the best defence.
