Saracens' trip to Leicester drew the week's biggest crowd, and its comments are busy with a red card, a lenient referee and Saracens' shorts.

PREM GIANTS COLLIDE! 🍿 | Leicester Tigers vs Saracens | Gallagher PREM Rugby Highlights

Rugby has taken over TNT Sports. Of the eleven uploads, the busiest were Gallagher PREM highlights, one ground after another: Welford Road, the Rec, Ashton Gate and Kingsholm.

The week's most watched video is Leicester Tigers against Saracens, billed in the title as a meeting of PREM giants. It has passed 200,000 views. Its comment section reads like a post-match pub. Several viewers praise Fergus Burke, who looked like a different fly-half with a quick nine beside him. Others single out Maro Itoje, the Saracens lock, and Leicester's Wainwright. A long thread argues that Leicester should have had two yellow cards around the hour mark. Tigers supporters in the replies concede that the chances were theirs to take. And a surprising number of people want to talk about Saracens' shorts.

Bath against Exeter Chiefs at the Rec sits only just behind it, and the freshest games are moving fastest. Bristol Bears, hosting the reigning champions Northampton Saints, are gathering views quicker than anything else on the channel. Gloucester's "DEMOLITION JOB!" against Harlequins is close behind.

Away from rugby, Carlos Alcaraz against Taylor Fritz at the Laver Cup has climbed past 180,000 views, and a WorldSBK Race 2 from Italy closed the superbike title with a champion crowned.

The channel's daily pace is well below its usual level right now, and the subscriber count held still. Even so, only SailGP added more views than TNT Sports over the week among similar sports channels. The All Blacks were just behind.
