To compensate for the season being so short.
To give Saracens a chance to recover from a covid outbreak or a surprise loss
Yes it's hard not to see that as the real reason.

My guess is Saracens will come up regardless of where they finish.
To win is not as important as playing with style!

Ealing , very strong on paper.Could give Sarries a real test this season.
Tend to expect to be playing them in the not too distant ....

The gap between the top teams and the rest of the league is far greater in the Championship than in the Prem. I guess that is a good reflection on the competitiveness of the Prem, at least more recently.

Should be interesting to watch the Nottingham v Coventry game on Saturday kick off 5.30 pm Lewis hopefully will get another start for Cov (going on his past form for them it shouldn't be an issue, he's playing really well for them) and hopefully Browning will get to play for Nottingham along with the other Tigers loanees.
