I had planned to write up every Saracens match this season, but I just couldn’t bring myself to re-watch their match against London Irish, they got exactly what they deserved from that match, NOTHING. Irish were deserved winners as Saracens failed to score with a 2 man advantage at one point. The only good news to have come post match […]
Rugby League World Cup tickets booked in 202 took me to Hull this weekend, so I listened to this match courtesy of BBC Devon Radio. I tried my best not to find the commentary biased, and they did send some praise the way of Saracens but blatantly disagreed with a couple of scrum penalties awarded against Chiefs, in spite of […]
I’m going to recount a conversation I had with my 4 year old grandson the night before the Premier 15’s semi-final, it went something like this……. Are you coming out with us tomorrow Nanny? No Vinnie I’m not, I’m going to watch rugby. In fact I’m going to watch women’s rugby. Women don’t play rugby, was this 4 year olds’ […]
A weekend away re-arranged twice due to Lockdown saw a great weekend in and around Birmingham for me. I most probably wouldn’t have driven all the way to Exeter and usually wouldn’t be keen to watch a tight loss. But having read some of the comments around the game I wanted to add my opinions too. The photos are courtesy […]
And so the Salary Cap debacle rumbles on; the 35 points deduction and £5.36 million fine have been accepted by Saracens. That’s left the club at rock bottom in the Premiership table, with a huge uphill climb to avoid relegation. News has come today of the Salary Cap Manager carrying out a mid-season review of Saracens’ books for the current […]
It’s been a funny season so far as a Saracens fan, I haven’t wanted to write about many games when I’ve got home. The Champions Cup semi-final was a huge exception and this match is another! With both teams secure in 1st and 2nd place and a Champions Cup Final ahead for Saracens next week this was a match up […]
As my Good Friday went on so the conditions for taking photos deteriorated, so only a handful here. Leaving Tottenham slightly early I took off back along the A406, I saw far too much of that road for my liking! But, I arrived in plenty of time and was able to touch base with my lovely Quins friends Sue and […]
The Premiership Rugby Final
Saracens face Exeter Chiefs at Allianz Park as they attempt to take the top spot back.
My 3rd game of the weekend was at Allianz Park – Saracens v Exeter Chiefs. A leisurely breakfast in bed and I set off. It turned out my hotel was very well placed for Allianz Park, the journey took me around 35 minutes. I had to be at the ground for 1ish to meet a group from the school I […]
Having experienced the heady heights of the Press Box at The Champions Cup Final at Twickenham, my next ‘Event’ was of a different kind, but just as important. I had planned to do my watching Essex Cricket in the morning and London Skolars in the afternoon thing again, but a message from Charles Beer a Twitter friend to tell me […]
Having been to Milton Keynes my next date was in Coventry at the Ricoh Arena – home of Wasps Rugby. I was lucky enough to be stay the night with my lovely Saracens friends Steve and Clare. We had a great evening – I’m not too sure who was more shocked that I drank wine, me or them! And I […]
I’m so very tempted to get 2 Events out of this afternoon – and the rugby on show was certainly worthy of 2! I was reminded by a Press Release from Premiership Rugby that the culmination of the Academy season was to take place at Allianz Park on the 1st Monday of Half Term. I have no concept of why […]
