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 arrived a little late for this one, but happily arrived in time to see Zoe Harrison score after Poppy Cleall had picked the ball up from the back of the scrum. Tigers showed their passing skills from the kick off and were then awarded a penalty deep in Saracens half. Tigers went into a … More Saracens Women v Leicester Tigers
These 2 teams faced each other on October 14th when the scoreline made unpleasant viewing for Saracens fans. Exeter scoring 65 to Saracens 10. This was as the World Cup was the n full flow, they meet each other as the England squad have jetted off to Spain. Saracens therefore watched 5 players depart and … More Saracens v Exeter Chiefs
Saracens found themselves in the last chance saloon in this competition after succumbing to a record defeat in Bordeaux. A win by Connacht against Bristol meant the task was a less onerous one, with a bonus point of any description with a less than 20 point gap.

It was another ‘interesting’ week in the world of rugby union. Owen Farrell, England and Saracens captain announced his plan to step away from the international game for the duration of the 6 Nations, at least.

After the so called Derby weekends Bristol Bears had a bit of a trip to North London. That brought Max Malins back home, but he wouldn’t be facing Ben Earl sadly after he picked up an injury before the Quins game. I’m going to start with a scrum as there was an early one, Ellie … More Saracens v Bristol Bears
I’m coming to this a day late, having decided to watch the women in their first league game, and they did not disappoint! This was billed as the Derby weekend and with Quins and Saracens the only teams left flying the flag this was clearly one such. TNT as it’s now known seemed intent on … More Harlequins v Saracens
