From an American perspective alone the weekend's class between Saracens and Leicester is incredibly appealing but it becomes even more meaningful when you consider what it will mean for both teams in the standings. Saracens now boast three Americans on their roster in Chris Wyles, Hayden Smith, and Titi Lamositele. Of the three, only Wyles is likely to appear on Saturday. Smith is still working his way back to full fitness and Lamositele will mostly see time with the academy this year. Leicester have two Americans on the roster in Blaine Scully and Pasqualle Dunn. Saracens currently sit at the top of the table with 36 points while Leicester sit on 26 points. It's been a rather disappointing season for the Tigers by their standards but a win over Saracens would help vault them back into the playoff race. For Saracens, a win over their rival would help bolster their position heading into the new year.
