Tuesday evening sees some crunch games in the PEWC CUP. After a couple of weeks mid season layoff the teams will be welcoming their players back from the Six Nations and eager to get into the action.
The games on Tuesday kick off off at 7:30pm:
Sale at home to Stad
Saracens at home to Wasps
The Saracens v. Wasps game is seen by many to be a 'grudge' match as tempers were high in their last affair between both coaches and players. Fase the Wasps coach will want to keep their momentum going after a near run thing with Stad and then their thrashing of Sale their confidence will be high. Saracens last match was the grind against Stad and they will feel they have enough power to beat Wasps.
Sale and Stad produced a good open match last time and the crowd will be hoping for much of the same this time around. The big question is, can Sale bounce back from the heavy defeat they took at Wasps last match?
The weather for both matches for Tuesday is looking bad ... hopefully the full storm winds and rains will have passed but we will have to wait and see.
The refs have been ordered to clamp down on dirty play in the Cup and players can expect not to get away with as much niggly play around the tackle area.
(In game terms any ref rolls will only be done on a 5 or less as a pass - rerolls will be on a 5 as well and only allowed for dirty play, technical infringements will not get a re roll)
