Sarries v Chiefs was a great looking game.

Wuss v Irish is just a race to the bottom! It's absolutely awful!

Most school teams would make better decisions that Irish did in that game.

Good for Wuss to have Irish as their first match after the Six Nations, and given that Irish have Quins (hopefully we'll cabbage them now we've got our internationals back) and Wasps in their run in, I can't see that the race to the bottom actually has any race left to run!

Oh well may as well head over to the Championship thread.....

Ooh. Have we got one of those, then?

Too late to make much difference this season, but welcome back, Nick Evans!!!

I'm concerned as well - can be tough getting out of the championship. Hopefully have a rebuild and rethink over the summer (been in a downward spiral since the 2009 final) . Best mate is a Sarries fan - his only comment was "What happens to the double header now?"

The double header is only a London double header in so far as it's played in London, so I don't suppose it makes much difference?

Look at last year as the most obvious example.... Quins not included despite being based in London, leaving Sarries as the only London club involved, along with Worcester, Reading Irish and Coventry Wasps.

hmmm if you were even more cynical you'd be thinking he was making sure he was playing champions cup rugby with his new team next year

Hadn't thought of that... You'd think Montpellier were safe to qualify on league position anyway, given that they're in second place with three matches to play, but on the other hand, their remaining games are against the teams in third, fourth & sixth, all of whom could still overtake them.

Do we discuss who the new Bath Head Coach will be on this thread, or on a new 2016/17 thread?

Given how well they went last year, I'm surprised he got chopped quite so rapidly.

As a complete neutral, I'd love to see Exeter win, if only to shut up all the people trying to ring-fence the Premiership.

Of course, if they do win, then they will never be "The Underdog" ever again, so I will no longer ever be able to support them as a neutral Englishman.
