Discover the standout stars in PWR Round 2 in the latest Oval Insights PWR Rankings
It was wall-to-wall entertainment in PWR Round 2 at the weekend as three of our sides passed the 50-mark in a round that brought a stunning average of 67 points a game.
Saracens' 52-14 win at Sale Sharks took them to the summit while we we came within one score of seeing 100 points at Trailfinders Stadium, where the home side ran riot, matched at time by the entertainment levels coming from their opponents, Loughborough Lightning.
This weekend the PWR gets the keys to Ashton Gate as Bristol Bears v Saracens kick off of a tantilising double header live on TNT Sports.
