Round 5 Team News
Take a look at how the sides line up in Round 5 of The Premiership Rugby Cup.
The final round of the pool stages of the 2023/24 Premiership Rugby Cup [PRC] is upon us, and what a ride it's been so far. Thrilling rugby, upsets aplenty, and two Championship sides in contention for a spot in the semi-finals as we head into Round 5. Ealing Trailfinders' match against Jersey Reds may have been cancelled - after The Reds made the tough decision to cease trading last week - but the West Londoners have already qualified for the knock-out stages of the PRC given their six-point lead over second placed Doncaster Knights in Pool D. Meanwhile in Pool A, Coventry could snatch top spot and a place in the semi-finals with a win over Gloucester Rugby. The Championship side need a bonus-point win - and to keep Gloucester off the scoreboard - to progress to the next round.
As ever, TNT Sports will broadcast one match live, and this time it's Doncaster Knights' turn in front of the cameras. The Knights head to the Cinch Stadium at Franklin's Gardens to face Northampton Saints knowing that a win would see them cement second place in Pool D.
So, with the clock ticking down to three matches involving Championship sides on Friday night, here's a look at how the sides line up this weekend in The PRC.
