Director of rugby Rowland Winter said:

“Momentum comes not just from results but also performances. We played quite well against Nottingham and if that drop kick had gone wide we’d have been celebrating another bonus-point win.

“We’ve had a couple of good performances now and if we can repeat that this week – regardless of the result – then we’ll be in a good spot going into the summer.

“Even though it’s a league game with the opportunity to get five more points and cement our spot in eighth which would be a pretty respectable finish, we play our best rugby when we’re having fun are confident and the pressure is off.”
