0-0 draw no points

I see it has caused a stir amongst saracens fans as they feel aggrieved to not finish top and another thing against them.

To us outside. Would there have been a championship season if Saracens weren’t the relegated club?! It seemed to some of us cynics thats why top wouldn’t be straight promotion incase Saracens missed out on top for this exact scenario cancelled games due to covid. Obviously it wasn’t and down to making sure teams had fair chance to go up over two games in a fewer game season, just supporter talk at time. Strange how these things work out, now it’s sarries fans with views.

I reckon the entire season was only organised to enable Sarries to regain their "rightful" place in the top league. The fact that it's deemed OK to have promotion on half a season but not have relegation from the Prem because of Covid problems is completely illogical.

Regulation 22 is a bit long winded but doesn’t specifically mention 0-0.

Grauniad reporting that Bath will be awarded 28-0 win - but haven't seen that detail from any other news outlet. Other reports say a panel will decide. Earlier Prem games cancelled were assigned a 4-2 split...

It was 28-0 and 5 - 0 match points last year (Guardian out of touch as usual)

This season every game has been 4-2 match points and I believe 0-0 on score - I cannot see any reason to change that at this time.

Harptury will be proud to show on their records that they nilled Sarries - HM Govt funding seems to work in their favour on many fronts.

We should’ve all had COVID issues against Saracens and Ealing to mix things up Wink
