  1. The heat is on

    Leicester v Saracens (15:00 BST)

    What a time for a swelterer eh?

    Just as two of Premiership Rugby's heavyweights converge on HQ for a winner-takes-all final, temperatures have soared.

    Will Leicester Tigers take the heat, having led the table for an entire regular season, in their first final in nine years, and in search of a ninth professional-era title?

    Can Saracens, who had to cool off in the Championship for a season after salary cap infringements, provide the requisite fire to regain a crown they won on five occasions between 2011 and 2019?

    There will be fireworks at Twickenham, such is the modern spirit of ceremony. Believe me though, we won't need them.
