I love watching the Premiership. In France, a Twitch streamer bought the rights; every weekend we watch the best match live on his channel, and it's really cool. However, since he's a small streamer, the Premiership doesn't always treat him with respect—sometimes they cut the feed right in the middle of a match. I think Bath will win this season.Thank for the video🍀🌞

I will say the major problem with quins last season was injuries, at one point having enough injured for 2 starting 15s. The front row being massively effected. Also the forward problems came from losing our head coach at the start of the season leading to coaches having to cover roles not suited to them like Bomb was having to coach the lineout which took time away from his passion for the scrum, bringing in new coaches and backing the coaches we've kept to do what they do best will make a massive difference.

(Also EDWARD SIGAUKE!!!!!!!!! and Squidge not mentioning him is how you know this was recorded a while ago)

Guilty, watching this on my laptop at work.

I think Quins will be a surprise package this season. Murley, CCS, Dombrandt, Smith, Baxter, Furbank and many others will step up. That said, Saints to take the league title, Bath second and I think Bears will do better than expected.

Tigers man here. Agree with Coley. We over achieved last year and this one could be a rebuild with some great academy players like Carnduff and Lewis Chessum. It can’t all be champagne and chocolates, can it? ❤🐯

Can you do a live show or meet and greet in the O2

@yvonnemullen3325 2 weeks ago

Don’t make a final without winning…unless you’re Leinster.

@mattbethell7923 3 weeks ago

Always would love Bath to win it. But the loss to Barbs, TDT Will Butt etc. are big. Haven’t really replaced anyone either. I think the fan base would love a Champions cup run too. After the loss in the semi final of the Champions cup last year the team looked deflated. Really want us to have a stellar year but I think Saints and Sarries will be the ones fighting it out for the Prem. Exeter dark horse again too.

Quins are finishing top half, it was a coaching not a squad problem and that has completely changed with world class talent. (Half trying to convince myself on this, but I'm an optimist..)

@jakeianwilliamson5155 3 weeks ago

Now as a Saints supporter I love that Ben put them first... But the last time they won the premiership the following season they came 7th. Not saying Saints don't have it in them but it's the beautiful thing about the premiership it's very unpredictable.

Averaging across the three:
Bath - 1.3
Northampton - 1.7*
Leicester - 4
Sarries - 4.3
Exeter - 5
Sharks - 6**
Bears - 6
Gloucester - 8.3
Quins - 9
Newcastle - 9.3

*2/3 predict Northampton to win the resulting final
**Sharks listed ahead of Bears because 2/3 placed sharks above bears
