Really?Hard to see past home wins all around really; especially until we know how the teams are adapting to the ELVs
Maybe. They'll definitely be up for it. The question is whether a weakened side will have enough to beat Bristol at Ashton Gate.Bristol sarries will be a cracker.
Can see Sarries on an emotional high coming in for a big win tbh
Oh, those are absolutely possible, and they certainly wouldn't be a shock; but first round, before anyone's warmed up to the new season or the new laws (which look custom-made for Leicester). Form means nothing whatsoever at this stage, and it's always hard to see past home wins in the Prem; and this year there are more variables to throw into the mix; so in terms of predictions, I'm sticking with home wins across the board.Really?
I'll be disappointed if Quins don't come home with a win.
I fancy Tigers to do well this season but Exeter will also want to start strongly. I'd imagine their style of play will be affected by the new laws a lot more than Quins mind you.
Dont underestimate this falcons side anymore BPM.Really?

because of the plastic pitch, then?We will be looking to make KP a place teams dont want to come to...not just because of the weather....
Dont most teams have them now. I think we've had more injuries since we got it than before. Id love to see the stats.because of the plastic pitch, then?
I'm not underestimating Falcons, but as a side who have just won the Premiership, this is definitely the sort of game we should be aiming (if not expecting) to win away from home.Dont underestimate this falcons side anymore BPM.
Its not the woeful side thats struggled over last 10 years or so. I think this is the strongest squad we've had in years.

Vermeulen is a big loss, it's between him and LCD for most important player in the Chiefs pack IMO
True enough,Kristen is a good stand in.
Thats a fair assessment of where we are. Anything more than midtable would be a bonus. However i still think as a side we do better against sides like yourselves than we tend to do against drilled sides like Exeter and Saracens.I'm not underestimating Falcons, but as a side who have just won the Premiership, this is definitely the sort of game we should be aiming (if not expecting) to win away from home.
I don't doubt the Falcons squad has improved, but I'd still regard you guys as a side aspiring to be mid-table, rather than genuine contenders for more than that.
No disrespect intended, but any side who is aiming to at least make the play offs should be aiming to beat mid-table sides.
