Friday
Bears v Sharks - Bears by 16

Saturday
Wasps v Saints - Wasps by 12
Bath v Harlequins - Quins by 14
Tigers v Warriors - Tigers by 12
London Irish v Gloucester - Irish by 8

Sunday
Falcons v Chiefs - Chiefs by 6

Don't put any money, I'm rubbish at predictions and it's a strange season

Should be some good action though, lots of good match ups.

Gloucester/Skivington badly need a result. Bath also but I think Quins players have the shackles off and could perform again.

Just watching the buildup,us and Bristol are about as far away as you can get in terms of style and being great on the eye.

Quick question. Murphy said a few times and Borths has as well about kicking the ball away to catch a breath and preserve fitness etc but why don’t Bristol have to do that? Surely we could play more with ball in hand too with a s and c coach as good as AW. Exeter don’t have any problem with keeping the ball for multiple phases either.

Lots of kicking by both sides so far, Sale in particular. Fair enough they are running it a fair bit too but it’s not like there haven’t been BOC kicks and plenty of kicks for territory tonight from both teams

Poor restarts by Bristol,should never give the opposition time to be able to kick. That’s twice now
