Aviva Premiership 2015/16
Discussion
Is it just me, or has the Six Nations effect seemed much more pronounced this year than in recent seasons?
The only reason the top 4 haven't lost all their games in both weekends so far is that one of the games was between top 4 teams in Sarries vs Exeter, and even then both teams looked like they were doing their best to lose from memory of the highlights?

Well we're on a roll now! 6 wins in a row at home. Can't believe we held out to win by a point. Puts us 3 points behind Bath in the table as well!
Happy days Tim, adopted Falcons supporter here. Nerve racking following it on Twitter but what a turnaround to the season this has been. I think I am now brave enough to declare myself as a long time Wasp 
And that is after being quite a nuisance in the Sarries VIP box last week (I am not VI) .... and then sitting in the uncovered main stand in the wind and rain of Bath. What a contrast in viewing experiences
But two very good results for us! I am (as well as many others) starting to dream again after a few rough seasons. It is way too early to start harking back to the 'good old days' but we do certainly seem to be a team that people don't want to play right now.
I also don't quite understand why we were still so close in the 1st half yesterday!
Have found a good new restaurant in Bath that is so perfectly placed for the game it is unreal.... if you like steak!
ps - my affinity for the B&G does pre date Loftus Rd so I should be able to gloat occasionally!

I sicnerely hope that Worcester have just given Francois Hougaard a cheque and asked him to write his own number in.
Irish looked pretty ropey today I am afraid - Exeter just did enough.
It feels a bit like a watershed moment - we have finally turned a performance into a result. Still lost the second half - but its better.

Looking at the table, and the remaining fixtures for the weekend, it really underlines the importance of that game tonight.
I reckon if Quins had lost, they could well have fallen to 7th by the end of the weekend. As it is, I reckon Leicester will fall to 6th.
Indeed was a very good effort by Quins especially holding out for the final Tigers onslaught. Bottica seems to be getting back to the form he showed a couple of seasons back and Wallace was immense. I reckon if Quins had lost, they could well have fallen to 7th by the end of the weekend. As it is, I reckon Leicester will fall to 6th.
