I just would like a decent game with no serious injuries to either side.
On a wider note if England hope to get past the quarterfinals at RWC both Farrell and Ford Ned to fit and firing
Shame you won’t be watching RWC as you don’t care about England and by logical progression test rugby. It has the makings of a cracking tournament

Re: Premiership final 2023
No you are not but to hope that your national side fails, a side that will contain a number of Tigers players who you support, because of dislike of the sports governing body, is in my view narrow minded at best.ay2oh wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2023 1:58 pmAt no time did I say that I wouldn’t be watching the World Cup.

But if you are happy to see the likes of Martin, JVP, Kelly, Steward, Watson, suffer huge disappointment while playing for their country, the pinnacle of any sportsman career, then that is your call
Re: Premiership final 2023
I don't dislike many teams, but I can't stand either of these sides. Couldn't care less who wins. I guess Sale are slightly less cheat-y, if I had to pick a winner.
Would much rather have seen Saints win it than either of these, which says a lot.

Im cheering for George Ford. I suppose by virtue of that, Sale. Really want to see George get that moment when he shows what a great player he is. COYG !!

Huge segments of HQ empty, yet another example of the shocking administration by the RFU and Prem Rugby

Not entirely. They are not well supported teams.
Re: Premiership final 2023
The final attendances have been down year on year and Sarries haven't struggled to bring fans to finals or big games in the past, also whilst Sale aren't the biggest club they've been having record attendances this season

Sarries average around 10k and yet they play their part?RagingBull wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2023 3:22 pmStill average less than 7k
Edit: And in Sales last prem final appearance the attendance was pretty much the same as the previous and next finals including Wasps and Gloucester
Re: Premiership final 2023
Who do the RFU use for security at HQ? that's the prankster joining the national anthems and now just stop oil storming the pitch in the last couple years
