On paper, Saracens are massive favourites. They dominate the PWR season stats, with Trailfinders only bettering them in a few categories eg % dominant tackles. Meanwhile, Sarries score much more freely and carry the ball much more effectively.26 Jun 2026 18:43 +0000at://did:plc:b25kucfcstyzmsg43q6ai7af/app.bsky.feed.post/3mp7lxzzbw222https://bsky.app/profile/mikadooo.bsky.social/post/3mp7izsj7vc22Alysia Lefau-Fakaosilea starred in Super W as a teenager, so naturally she was immediately snapped up by the 7s programme. Which captures in a nutshell the travails of XVs rugby in Australia. Anyway good to see her back in XVs, albeit it looks belated.
