Being optimistic I'm going with for the first 5 games.
Exeter 1 point
Newcastle 5 points
Wasps 4 points
Worcester 5 points
Sale 4 points

Saints and Gloucester away could be tricky hopefully SA call in Mortest and maybe Kriel though.

I see that we are no longer the opposition for Bath's Twickenham-based "home" fixture. The "Clash" is now a West country derby: Bath v Bristol. I know that opinions were divided on this forum but I thoroughly enjoyed the two Twickenham outings and we did manage to win the last one.

You may be quite wrong.Wasps may well be down the table because of internal issues or even points deductions, Quins IMO will be flirting with relegation.

Would put them between wasps and saints if I hadn’t forgotten about them.

I pretty much agree with Raging Bull, Gloucester are a bit of an intangible with all their new South African signings, I fear it may not work for them. Tigers hopefully may manage to unseat Saracens or Exeter in the top two, lets get started playing matches should be an interesting season!

I feel the opposite,the more SA for Ackerman the better! No chance of top 2 for us,top 4 is a stretch sadly. I'm still not sold on MoC I'm afraid,I hope he proves me wrong!

Exeter away is not ideal but it’ll be a great indicator for how our season goes I guess. I think Top 4 is definitely still achievable it all rides on MOC on how well we do, we have definitely got a good enough squad.

We have a better squad than last season. Everyone at the club I think understands that last season the results were not acceptable. So hopefully they will put things right. Fingers crossed.

Clearly not everyone otherwise Glynn and O’Connor would’ve got the sack.
