Looking for a thrilling family watch this weekend? Forget the drama of reality TV—Premiership Women's Rugby is back with a bang! After a festive break, the action returns with an all-London derby that promises fireworks. Trailfinders Women host Harlequins Women this Friday night, and you won’t want to miss it. But here’s where it gets controversial: can Harlequins extend their winning streak, or will Trailfinders close the gap in the table? And this is the part most people miss—this match isn’t just about rugby; it’s about the return of some of the sport’s biggest names. Harlequins’ captain Jade Konkel, Ireland’s Aoife Wafer, and Red Roses stars Lucy Packer and Ellie Kildunne are set to light up the pitch. Meanwhile, Trailfinders, sitting just three points behind Harlequins, are without their talisman Meg Jones due to injury. Is this their chance to climb the ranks, or will Harlequins hold their ground?
The match kicks off at 19:30 GMT on Friday, 30th January, at Trailfinders Sports Club. You can catch all the action live on the BBC Red Button, BBC iPlayer, and the BBC Sport website and app. But before you tune in, consider this: both teams are hungry for a winning start to the new year. While there won’t be any reality TV-style banishments, expect high tackles and fierce competition. Who do you think will come out on top?
