Rugby fans have already been spoiled by a Lions win in Australia and the Chiefs' Super XV success, so the Aviva Premiership has much to live up to following an enthralling summer of rugby.

Two games in and already the Premiership has pair of heavily-fancied frontrunners in Saracens and Northampton, and Week 3 throws up several intriguing contests as the league begins to take shape.

Here's a full guide to Week 3, complete with current standings, fixtures and a few predictions along the way.



 

Gloucester vs. Northampton

The first fixture that jumps out is Northampton's trip to Kingsholm, which sees two rivals experiencing contrasting starts to the season.

Gloucester currently prop up the table, having suffered a narrow defeat against Sale Sharks and a thumping loss at the hands of Saracens.

The visitors arrive on the back of an imposing win over Exeter Chiefs, before last week's hard-fought win at Harlequins.

Expect Saints to dominate this game in the pack, with their superior front row led by Dylan Hartley and new signing, Alex Corbisiero. That should provide a steady supply of possession for the backs to rack up the points and secure a third win on the bounce.



 

Worcester vs. Harlequins

After a tough home loss to Northampton, Harlequins will be eager to return to winning ways against a Worcester side with two painful defeats already behind them.

The Friday evening match match kicks off the weekend's games, and expect this to be one of the more entertaining affairs as Harlequins bring their attacking brand of fast, fluid rugby to Sixways.

Dean Ryan will have his side well prepared for the visitors' threat, but Quins should have enough fire-power to condemn the Warriors to a third-straight loss.
