Newcastle Falcons have bolstered their squad by signing South African centre Jordan Holgate, formerly of Jersey Reds, for the remainder of the current season. The 26-year-old is set to make his debut in an upcoming home game against Bristol Bears, which will also mark the 50th appearance for lock-forward Sebastian de Chaves. Mateo Carreras and flanker Guy Pepper are making their returns for the Falcons, who are still in search of their first win of the year. In other Gallagher Premiership news, Kyle Sinckler is set to make his 50th appearance against Newcastle. The weekend's matches include a face-off between two England fly-halves from Sale Sharks and Saracens, and a Bath versus Harlequins game featuring key matchups like Russell vs Smith, Barbeary vs Dombrandt, and Lawrence vs Joseph, with significant Six Nations selection implications. Adam Hastings is making a comeback for Gloucester after a long injury absence, and Zach Mercer also returns to the Premiership. Gloucester is favored by bookies despite both teams' form, as they hope to end their six-match losing streak in the Premiership. The lineup for the weekend also includes a highly anticipated match between Exeter Chiefs and Leicester Tigers.
