Gloucester-Hartpury chalked up their record-breaking 13th consecutive win to guarantee them would host one of the semi-finals but just four points now separate Saracens in second to Bristol Bears in fourth.

• After defeating Harlequins (57-24), Gloucester-Hartpury have now won each of their first 13 matches in this season’s Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby, the outright longest winning run to the start of a new season, overtaking Saracens, who won their first 12 games on two occasions (2017/18 and 2019/20). 

• Gloucester-Hartpury’s Nel Metcalfe and Exeter Chiefs’ Kanako Kobayashi each scored three tries over the weekend, meaning 10 different players have now scored hat-tricks in this season’s Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby – Kobayashi was the third player to score a hat-trick for Exeter this term, more than any other side. 

• Gloucester-Hartpury’s Natasha Hunt provided three try assists against Harlequins, just the second time this season a player has provided a hat-trick of assists in a single Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby match after Hunt herself also did so against Leicester Tigers on MD2. 

• Bristol Bears defeated Saracens (35-10) for the first time in what was their 13th Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby meeting (L12 previously) – it was Saracens’ heaviest away defeat in the league since May 2022 (54-12 v Exeter Chiefs). 

• Trailfinders have now won each of their last two Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby away matches by margins of 15+ points after losing their first four away games in the league by margins of 19+ points. 

• Exeter Chiefs have now won each of their last four Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby matches against Loughborough Lightning, scoring over 40 points in three of those matches, after winning just two in four against them previously (L2). 

• Exeter Chiefs conceded just four penalties against Loughborough Lightning, their fewest in an Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby match this season – in fact, only Loughborough themselves have conceded fewer this term (2 v Trailfinders on MD9). 

• Trailfinders won 11 turnovers against Sale Sharks, the most of any team in this round of fixtures and the Trailfinders’ most in a game this term, surpassing the 10 they won against Exeter Chiefs on MD7. 

• Exeter Chiefs gained 1,047 kicking metres against the Trailfinders, the first time a team has made over 1000 kicking metres in an Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby match this season. 

• Bristol Bears missed just nine tackles against Saracens, the fourth time that a team has missed fewer than 10 in an Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby match this season, with the Bears now being responsible for three of those instances.
