A Champions Cup final place is the prize on offer when Saracens face Wasps in Saturdays all-English semi-final, live on Sky Sports 1 HD. So far this season its honours even between the two Premiership sides. Saracens beat Wasps 26-16 at the Ricoh Arena in December thanks to a 21-point haul from fly-half Owen Farrell, but Wasps claimed revenge when they went to Allianz Park and smashed their hosts 64-23 in an eight-try mauling that saw Jimmy Gopperth contribute 23 points.Gopperth is in superb form after converting Charles Piutaus 80th-minute try for a thrilling 25-24 win over Exeter Chiefs in the Champions Cup quarter-final earlier in the month, while Farrell slotted five penalties and two conversions to guide Saracens to a 29-20 win over Saints in their quarter-final. The two fly-halves face off for the third time this season and their battle will be key in deciding the outcome, but it wont be the only one. We take a look at five head-to-heads as the two Premiership giants clash live on Sky Sports...Owen Farrell v Jimmy Gopperth Owen Farrell has been in fine form for club and country High-level performances are now the expected watermark for Farrell. The Saracens fly-half has been string-puller and goal-kicker supreme for the Premiership leaders this season - and from the tee for England - playing with the kind of confidence that has made him a consistent match-winner.But Gopperth has reasons to be confident too, after hitting that late winning touchline conversion to defeat Exeter in the quarter-finals. He described that kick as one of the highlights of his career but if hes to add to that story then its vital the New Zealander comes out the right side of this battle with the sure-footed Farrell. Watch highlights of Wasps thrilling Champions Cup quarter-final win over Exeter Gopperth wont be fazed by the challenge; hell be focused only on how to release Wasps dangerous outside backs. But Farrells polished style could prove the difference.Maro Itoje v Joe Launchbury Maro Itoje beats England team-mate Joe Launchbury in the lineout Its only a few weeks ago that Itoje was being tipped as an emerging international star. Now, after less than a handful of performances for England he already feels firmly established.Its an intriguing duel that pits his athleticism, growing form and enthusiasm against the experienced Launchbury.Saracens look to have the edge come lineout time, especially with their set piece anchored against another England lock, George Kruis. But its the damage Itoje is capable of doing on the opposition throw that will be of most concern to Wasps. Maro Itoje v Joe Launchbury 21 Age 25 48 Tackles 60 2 Missed tackles 11 51 Carries 51 25 Lineouts won 18 Alex Goode v Charles Piutau Charles Piutau has had a debut season to remember with Wasps Goode has been sensational this season and for many hes the form full-back in England. But if thats the case then Piutau is only a whisker behind.As Wasps showed against Exeter, they will attack from everywhere and Piutau has the strength and fleet-of-foot to beat the last defender, and the first defender too, for that matter.Goodes attacking style has been slightly more graceful but its been no less devastating. Alex Goode v Charles Piutau 59 Carries 77 484 Metres gained 714 7 Clean breaks 15 12 Defenders beaten 31 3 Tries 4 Billy Vunipola v Nathan Hughes Billy Vunipola will get Saracens over the gainline The two wrecking-ball No 8s will be in direct competition for a starting spot with England come the autumn internationals, with Fiji-born Hughes qualifying on residency grounds in June.George Smith insists the pair could forge a devastating combination at international level despite their similar strengths. Sky Live: Saracens v Wasps Mark McCall vows his players will attack the game Both players have been key performers in their respective clubs quests for a domestic and European double. They have scored two tries apiece in the Champions Cup and are the primary gain-line carriers for their sides, Hughes making 303 metres from 83 carries and Vunipola gaining 207m from 73 carriers. Nathan Hughes has beaten 20 defenders in this seasons Champions Cup Hughes has beaten 20 defenders in his six European appearances, two more than Vunipola, and the 24-year-olds offload ability will keep opposition defences on their toes.The battle of the breakdown could well decide which of these players have the greater influence. Deliver quick ruck ball in the right areas of the pitch, and this duo will thrive. Billy Vunipola v Nathan Hughes 23 Age 24 73 Carries 83 207 Metres gained 303 18 Defenders beaten 20 2 Tries 2 Chris Ashton v Christian Wade Chris Ashton has scored four tries in six European appearances this season One has registered six tries in a single outing. The other, five tries since returning from suspension.This is a fascintaing battle pitting two in-form finishers against each other, and theres an added dimension too with both keen to catch the interest of Eddie Jones ahead of Englands summer internationals. Ahead of Wasps European semi-final we found out the secret to the clubs return to the European top table Ashton relishes the big occasion and has become accustomed to delivering on those occasions too. Wade has his eye in after that six-try performance however, and both look certain to be involved heavily.In a straight head-to-head, Ashtons experience could well prove a determining factor.Watch Saracens v Wasps live on Sky Sports 1 HD on Saturday from 2.55pm.

Mohit Chhillar is 23 - a defender, the most expensive player at the Pro Kabaddi League, and the youngest member of the national kabaddi team.Dharmaraj Cheralathan is 41 - a defender, the captain of PKL 3 winners Patna Pirates, and the oldest member of the national kabaddi team.As they sit for a conversation together, Dharmaraj or Anna (elder brother), as Mohit fondly calls him, says, Madam, meri hindi kacchi(Madam, my hindi is a little weak). Mohits quick retort to this is: Arre Anna, mai hoon na, mai samjha dunga (Dont worry, brother. Ill help you out).Despite their ages, Mohit and Dharmaraj say they have a lot in common, having been brought up in an environment where kabaddi brings them dignity and respect.You dont look at age in a team, Mohit says. We are there for each other in good times and in bad times, no matter what. You have to have an open mind. All that matters is the fact that all of us have been selected together to represent the country at such a big stage.?I have grown up playing the game. Kabaddi players were considered to be an inspiration in my hometown, Nizampura (in Punjab). Thats how I found my calling too.Echoing a similar feeling, Dharmaraj adds, I come from Tiruchanampundi in Tamil Nadu, where the game is extremely popular. People respect you for playing it. I fell in love with the game as soon as I started playing it.Both players have been involved in the game as far back as they can remember.dddddddddddd. Mohit begins to tell how kabaddi has been his game since the time he was 10, when he suddenly realizes that Dharmaraj has been playing the sport for close to 30 years.Whenever I see Anna, I feel inspired. Imagine how brilliant a feat it is to be a part of the Indian camp continuously since 1998. He has played with my uncle in the past, and now he is playing with me. Can you beat that kind of experience? You learn so much by getting to play with a team like this.So what have Mohit and Dharmaraj learnt from each other?I learnt how to not just love, but respect the game from him, Mohit says. He plays with so much spirit, having a sole agenda of fighting till you win the game.Dharmaraj, on the other hand, feels Mohits infectious energy has a positive effect on the entire team.?He is a very good player with clear instincts. Also, he has a knack of making people comfortable around him. That is something that I admire a lot about him and would want to get better at, Dharmaraj says.?While Mohit feels that winning the World Cup final against Iran on Saturday is something the team will cherish the most, Dharmaraj has a slightly different outlook.?The game binds us together and winning this will be our tribute to it, he smiles.
