Sale apparently need a different type of visa for their UK based Springboks to get into France next week v Clermont.

Fairly sure he's been injured since the later stages of last seasonwixfjord wrote:Just watching Bristol v Sale (good game). Is Bryan Byrne injured or is he just out of favour? Not in the Bristol 23 and I don't recognise the two hookers.

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
Cornwall and Devon has a rich historyof Celtic Chieftains so makes sense they would pivot to that instead.

They'll probably be doing Riverdance at half time from now on.

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
In light of the rediscovery/rejuvenation of their "Celtic" roots, maybe we could entice the Exeter Chiefs to leave their #jokeofaleague and join the URC?
p.s. According to themselves, the rebranding cost a half a million quid. Wow!!! For that money I too would expect a groovy new logo with decent graphics (which, admittedly, they got).

At least that will flatten down the divots. Save on a few forks!

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
Just watched recording of Bath v Quins where Bath got their first Premiership win of the season. Fascinating to watch some of the alterations in their patterns from last weekend against us.
Two particular elements stood out to me. There was real similarities in their defensive maul to ours - a five-man wedge with really low body positions and a forward in defence on each side prepared to join maul if any momentum was generated. The second element was the lines of running of forwards in mid-field with much more footwork and carriers targeting the 'pocket' behind the breakdown.
It will be interesting to watch their progress from here onwards. They have a number of good players and have just been searching for a successful pattern. Maybe they've found it.

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
Fascinating interview with Genge:
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/ ... er-bristol
I was keeping a particular eye on Genge during the recent Leicester victory/comeback in Galway and I must say, the added responsibility of captaincy seems to suit him. He didn't get involved in any argy-bargy and was most respectful, low-key and effective in his dealings with the ref. Fair play to him.

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
The PPV development for the Premiership is something people have been asking for a while with BT Sport not showing all games each weekend.
Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
Going to PPV after a 6 nations is a smart move, be interesting to see how they get on
Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
No promotion to the Premiership next season. Ealing and Doncaster failed to meet minimum standards. Largely based on not meeting 10,001+ capacity.
"Ealing Trailfinders does not currently have a licensed capacity, but the ground holds approximately 5,000 with 2,115 seats. "Doncaster Knights currently has a capacity of around 5,183 with 1,926 seats." says RFU, confirming it. They can appeal.
