Some of the standout performances included:
● Gloucester-Hartpury’s Pip Hendy beat 13 defenders against Exeter Chiefs, the joint-most of any player in an Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby match this season, and the most of any Gloucester-Hartpury player in a game this term.
● Sale Sharks’ George Perris-Redding was successful with all 26 of her tackle attempts against Loughborough Lightning, the most of any player over the weekend – only Emily Tuttosi (30/30 v Harlequins last week) has made more tackles without missing any in a single league game this term.
● Gloucester-Hartpury defeated Exeter Chiefs (43-19) to extend their record as the only team to have won all their games in this season’s Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby (12/12) – they have now equalled Saracens (12 in 2017/18 and 2019/20) as the team with the joint-most consecutive wins at the start of a new season.
● Bristol Bears conceded just 10 points against the Trailfinders (38-10), their fewest in an Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby away match for over a year (55-7 v DMP Sharks in February 2023).
● Saracens have now won each of their 12 Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby home games since the start of 2023 – they scored 54 points against Leicester Tigers, the fourth time they have scored 50+ points this season, no other side has done so as often.
● Loughborough Lightning registered 1377 carry metres against Sale Sharks, the second most of any team in an Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby game this season, only behind the 1433 that Bristol Bears made against Sale Sharks on the opening matchday – Lightning’s 15 line breaks were also the joint-second most of any team this term (Exeter Chiefs, 24 v Sale Sharks on MD11).
● Exeter Chiefs made 27 kicks in play against Gloucester-Hartpury, their most in an Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby game this season, while their 846 kicking metres were the second most in the league this term, only behind Gloucester-Hartpury v Exeter Chiefs on MD5.
● Leicester Tigers made 20 dominant tackles against Saracens, just the third time that a team has made 20+ dominant tackles in an Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby match this season (also Exeter Chiefs on MD10 and Gloucester-Hartpury on MD3).
● Trailfinders retained possession from all 78 of their rucks against Bristol Bears, just the fourth time that a team has registered a 100% ruck success rate in an Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby match this season, with Trailfinders becoming the first team to have done so on two occasions (also v Bristol Bears on MD5).
