Premiership Rugby 24/25 - Round 1

No surprises in the 15 but a bit surprised at the bench - no Taylor, McIntyre or Harrison has me concerned about the setpiece in the second half
6:2 makes sense with Addison's flexibility and Du Preez covering 10 from the pitch
 
There's a long, slightly tedious, article in the Times about all the stats behind a reimagining of Gloucester's attacking game.

Last year apparently only Newcastle (no kidding) and Sale (sorry, Olyy) had less efficient attacks.

But it's OK as their new game plan is data led, not data driven. Phew.

And in ground breaking developments they've also realised that players' endurance has to improve for a more expansive game. Who'd have thunk it?

All sounds fine on paper. Let's see what it looks like on synthetic grass.
Get outta here!
 
First time playing fantasy rugby this year.

I maxed out on Exeter players and not too sure how I feel about that. At least it wasn't Gloucester.

Alot of Chiefs are very cheap, I've done the same, couple of odd choices in mine but hopfully I've smashed it.

My early doors prediction is Bath wins the Prem this season

Probably not that controversial considering how crazy their squad is, but there we are
 
Bad timing on my behalf - great line by the Wing Commander

Joined. It seems a good tactic is just choose players playing against Newcastle that week.
 
Half time....erm really not sure what to make of that half...other than last season we'd be 30 down.
 
Scrum reffing is mental in this Newcastle v Bristol game. Also breakdown/contact.

Won't say any more in case people watching on catch up but 🤷

Yeah...I'm in the stands but it just looks a bit odd. We've had a few lucky/ curious calls to say the least.....

However.....we are more physical and aggressive...I'll take that. Bristol have a hell of a team! They're put some big scores on teams this season

Good to see, especially after the last year or so. Definitely gritty. Loving Arnold putting it about. Your season will definitely be different to the previous.

I have family who travelled to the game but I couldn't make it up so watching on Discovery+. Any inside info from the ground?
 
I like that that they're putting the reason for the penalties on the graphics now, makes it a bit for accessible
