[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1055312, member: 73592"] [B]Premiership Winner:[/B] Leicester As with BPM, the 50:22 law could have been written by Borthwick is asked what new thing he'd introduce that would most benefit Leicester. Add to that, that Ford will be properly rested, and may stay with the club during international weekends... [B]Table order:[/B] 1. Bristol 2. Leicester 3. Exeter 4. Saracens 5. Sale 6. Harlequins 7.

Beyond that, there's the also rans who will have plenty of matches where they look like champions elect, and plenty where they look like they met for the first time during the warm-up. Of course, with no relegation again; everything's up in the air, and some clubs will really push to create their plan, and bring on the youth whilst not so much caring about results, whilst others will see this as a golden opportunity to get some confidence whilst chaos reigns.
