Five teams go into the Premiership’s dramatic final day with a chance of joining table-toppers Bath in this season’s play-offs – and of winning the title at Twickenham in two weeks’ time.
Leicester, Sale, Bristol, Gloucester and Saracens could remarkably all still finish anywhere from second to sixth as they go into the weekend separated by just five points after 17 matches.
Johann van Graan’s Bath side have come back from last season’s final defeat against Northampton with a vengeance, winning 14 games this term and leading the table by 15 points.
Such is Bath’s dominance they secured first place and a home semi-final at the Recreation Ground with three rounds of games to go, and will play whoever finishes fourth on Friday, 6 June, while second will host third on Saturday, 7 June.
With something riding on all five games that all kick-off at 15:05 BST this Saturday, here’s what each club needs to do – and in some cases hope for, outside of their control – to seal a semi-final spot.
