This last round of Prem rugby games, only 2 have any consequence as there is no relegation battles going on. In one of those Sarries fielded a 2nd/3rd team as they’ve already qualified in 2nd place in the league, and they are playing a side that could come fourth, depending on the other match, Sarries lost 54-7, but it didn’t matter, to them.
I will say hats off the Leicester who had already finished top, but still fielded a first choice team.
This will happen every year, a string of pointless games at the end of the season, unless we keep relegation to the Championship open, it’s only the money men who want ring fencing.
I want you all to line up in a circle and pair up in three's alphabetically by height.

Money men with no interest in the game whatsoever it would seem too, turgid dead rubbers as long as "their" investment is safe. The game is dying on it's feet, seems Wasps have not paid dividends due and windup orders are in place for certain parts of their financial empire(no idea what it all means) and the RFU/PRL seem to be just sweeping it under the carpet.

Bath and their modern stadium, relegated.
Ealing and their antiquated ground, promoted.

Oh, hang on...

PRL and the RFU are very good at sweeping things under the carpet. Particularly when Mr Wray provides the broom remember.

I thought I might pop along to a game last weekend until I discovered that Northampton was the nearest venue. Two London clubs and both away on the same day. Really?

Equally the cost of a half decent ticket was crazy for a neutral. £50 or £60? A joke.

Last time I saw a Prem. game, Lynagh was still Saracen's Fly Half. Looks like that won't change any time soon.

Level 2 crippled by mandatory testing - all in order to play half a season to get the Cheats promoted!
