TEAM NEWS | Saracens U18 Vs Bath Rugby U18 (Prem Next Gen RD 1)
Jack Pattison has named his side to start the new revamped U18 league against last year's runners-up Bath Rugby this Saturday.
Under the new format, all 11 clubs will compete in a single national league, with each side playing four home and four away fixtures. Qualifying rounds will be staged across August, October, January and February, culminating in the PREM Next Gen Finals Day on the weekend of February 21-22.
