If you are serving up a Sunday roast with all the trimmings this weekend, how about adding a side of Rugby?<\/p>\n

Both Saracens and Loughborough Lightning hit the half century mark with their score lines last weekend, so expect a contest like the perfect potato, piping hot with plenty of crunch.<\/p>\n

Bo Westcombe-Evans ran the ball in four times as Loughborough Lightning overpowered Leicester Tigers 50-15<\/a> in the East Midlands derby. This brings Lightning up to fourth in the table with a game in hand. <\/p>\n

They travel to the StoneX Stadium for their second away match this season, the first of which was the scintillating season opener against Harlequins that they narrowly lost. Two-time World Cup winner Emily Scarratt is now a full-time coach with Loughborough Lightning, and the backs are certainly firing under her tutelage. <\/p>\n

Saracens Women reigned supreme in the London derby against Trailfinders women with an emphatic 57-5 win, securing second place in the table. <\/p>\n

The 2025 PWR finalists have only lost one match so far this season, to their old rivals three-peat champions Gloucester-Hartpury in round one. Saracens boast a team sprinkled with World Cup players including world women’s rugby player of the year, Canadian flanker Sophie De Goode.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sunday Roast with a side of rugby?published at 19:56 GMT 19:56 GMT Watch live on BBC iPlayer, BBC…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":331465,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-331464","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-rugby","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=331464"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331464\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/331465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=331464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=331464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=331464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
