Trailfinders Meet Saracens at The Stoop in Premiership Women’s Rugby Final

The match will test the league’s momentum as Trailfinders chase an upset and Marlie Packer prepares to make her final appearance for Saracens.

Overview

  • The Premiership Women’s Rugby final is scheduled for Sunday 28 June with kick-off at 15:00 BST at Twickenham Stoop and live coverage on BBC Sport and BBC radio services.
  • Trailfinders reached their first-ever PWR final after a 29-26 semi-final win over Gloucester-Hartpury at Kingsholm on June 14, a milestone for a club that only joined the league in 2023.
  • Trailfinders captain Meg Jones has framed her team as underdogs targeting an upset against three-time champions Saracens, who beat Trailfinders twice in the regular season including a 57-5 win in November.
  • Red Roses openside Marlie Packer will make her last appearance for Saracens in the final before moving to Harlequins, and Saracens arrive seeking a record fourth PWR title after a 40-38 semi over Exeter.
  • The final is being cast as a growing London derby that highlights the PWR’s rising attendances and international recruitment and could boost the league’s commercial profile if it attracts a large crowd at the Stoop.
