If Wasps win they win the title with 58 points. However Clifton will need to win and score a bonus point in order to take the title from Wasps (i.e. they will need to score a 5 pointer (score 5 tries), which will give them 58 points.)
If Clifton win without scoring 5 tries they will have 57 points, potentially opening the door to Saracens, who are still not completely out of the race for the Premiership title. However, Saracens will need to win both of their two remaining fixtures with bonus points.
Clifton also have a superior points difference of 78, so Saracens will need to win convincingly in their fixtures against Henley and Lichfield.
A draw between Wasps and Clifton would also give Saracens a slim chance of nicking the title if they are up to the challenge of winning bonus points in both their remaining games.
The final Premiership games all take place this Sunday, with the exception of the postponed Saracens v Litchfield game, which was stopped by snow. However, the likelihood is that the Premiership title will be decided by the end of Sunday night.
