Allianz Premier 15s semi-finals live stream: How to watch the matches online

By the end of today we’ll know who will be in the 2020-21 Allianz Premier 15s final.

Both semi-finals take place this afternoon, with Harlequins v Wasps getting underway at the Stoop at 12.30pm and Saracens v Loughborough Lightning kicking off at 2.30pm at StoneX Stadium.

Saracens beat Quins in the previous two Premier 15s finals, so will those two teams win today and meet again at Kingsholm next Sunday? Or will Wasps and/or Loughborough make history by reaching the final for the first time?
