It’s been 8 weeks since we’ve seen any Premiership Rugby, with a break taking place while the 6 Nations was played. Harlequins played Tigers on January 26th losing narrowly and Saracens scored 40 to Chiefs 22 on January 27th. Most of the build up to this game had it pegged as Owen Farrell v Marcus … More Saracens v Harlequins – The Showdown.
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 … More Saracens v Exeter Chiefs
After watching Saracens Storm running in 11 tries against Ealing Trailfinders at the Stonex Stadum I’d been a bit spoilt rugby wise; my mid-week entertainment involved a round ball at the London Stadium as West Ham played Rapid Vienna; it struck me that for all of the superior attitude so many rugby union fans show … More Leicester Tigers v Saracens
I heard someone talking about the media early on in the Covid Lockdown – it went along the lines of – It’s all about being first, facts aren’t important.

Last week Saracens played Glasgow Warriors in the Quarter Final of … More Saracens – What a difference a week makes!
Just under 82,000 people made their way to Twickenham to watch England take on Australia, a team they’d bettered in their last 4 meetings, 3 of which were Down Under in 2016. There was a time when it was a momentous thing to see England beat a Southern Hemisphere team. But, there’s now an expectation, … More England v Australia
European Rugby is back! There’s something special about this competition, I try to watch as much of it as I can. That meant 2 games for me over this first weekend – Harlequins v La Rochelle followed by Northampton Saints v Saracens. I’m maybe an odd sports fan, I have my teams but I have … More Champions Cup Rugby – Week 1
I have to write about far more than the match on this one, so I’ll ask you to bear with me. I’m in the middle of writing a piece for another site, with the title – “What a Difference a Home Makes’ – and this Champions Cup weekend was a prime example of the things … More Saracens v Glasgow Warriors
The Six Nations tournament saw both of these teams lose key players, that period was a mixed time for both Bath and Saracens with the Premiership results panning out as follows. Bath Bath 32 Northampton Saints 30 Win Bath 22 Harlequins 12 … More Saracens v Bath
