Premiership Round-Up: The Play-off Chase
- 1241
With 7 rounds to play in the Premiership the play-off race is starting to hot up.
Top 2 sides Exeter and Saracens recorded big wins to solidify their position this weekend against Sale and Northampton respectively.
However the result of the weekend came from The Rec, as Harlequins recorded a late BP victory over Bath with a last gasp Nathan Earle try. That 5 points puts a bit of distance between the chasing pack and sit 3rd, 12th points clear of Wasps.
Gloucester slipped up away to Gloucester but a losing BP away to Bristol could turn out crucial as they sit in 4th, 5 points clear of 5th.
It's remarkably close between the chasing pack, with 5th place Wasps just 10 points clear of 11th place Worcester, so the race for the Champions Cup and a potential 4th spot is really hotting up.
