Preseason fixtures
With it being the World Cup year, what will be the preseason fixtures be like? Obviously we have the PRC during the World Cup but what about beforehand? Last time we had the honorary match vs Argentina and the Kings of the North tournament, but will the preseason just be like last year with London Irish, Cardiff and Benetton? If the latter, I’d like to keep the same opponents, to see what the new Exiles team is made of and also Benetton are extremely competitive and arguably a better team than we are at present.

I would imagine that the club don’t even know yet.
Re Benetton not sure how you reach that conclusion given the league they play in, but also if we play them pre season at least half their first team squad will be on World Cup duty

Re: Preseason fixtures
i think the pre season games will be even more of a farce than usual with RWC players missing and other key players protected from injury . Given the large number of newcomers to our Squad I would select the anticipated starters for our 1st premiership game from pre season game 1 so that at least they gain some familiarity with each over and practice the game plan ( if any ?? )
Re: Preseason fixtures
I was given to understand (by the ticket office staff) that there won't be any preseason matches next season, especially at home, which is reflected in the reduced season ticket prices for next season.

Hence the term, arguably.
