    Anyone taking an interest in the Gallagher Premiership? It’s a massive weekend with 5 teams going for 4 places for the play-offs.
    Exeter look to have nailed down top spot which leaves Sale Sharks, Bristol Bears, Wasps and Bath going for the 3 remaining places.
    Tomorrow, Sunday 13th, Wasps v Bristol and Sale v Bath

    I am. I go and watch Saracens sometimes. Shine has been taken off the Premiership a bit with relegation nailed on! The Champions Cup is my main focus now.

    It must be an anti climax playing all the fixtures but knowing that relegation is happening anyway. I follow Sale so things are getting very interesting. Tomorrow’s match v Bath is huge. Only 4 points separate 2nd, Sale from 5th - Bath!

    Love rugby in many ways it is better than football...

    In football players pretend to be hurt, in rugby they pretend they are not...

    Some memorable words from a certain Welsh ref, a rugby player is writhing on the pitch trying to get his tackler a yellow card, "Get up boy, do you think you are playing soccer"

    Go to the Falcons noe and again, but their strips are black and white...it should be the traditional green and white!

    Its a strange situation to be sure. Sale were looking good on the occasions I saw them earlier in the season. Its definitely exciting at the top end of the table. Hope your lot get the win they need tomorrow

    Not as such. I lived and worked in Northampton for quite a while so know that Northampton Saints are quite a big club. A mate of mine is a safety officer there (not a steward). In fact come to think of it, he could know Tony Davison. I could have a source and become a bona fide ITK here!
