The Premiership season concludes this weekend with Exeter against Saracens in the final

NEWS FROM THE ROUND

So we have been in the country for eight months and have seen 134 Premiership matches and it has predictably ended with an Exeter v Saracen final.

It was the one we knew would be the last game of the season from about October – is that bad for the Premiership?

The gap, the gorges, the gap is huge. Exeter finished 30 points above Northampton, who beat them with 30 points in the semi-final. Saracens ended eight points shy for the Chiefs, but 10 above Gloucester, who was beaten with 25 points in their playoff game.

Northampton in the fourth had the worst record of a playoff team played in fourth (both won and lost 11 games) and their 56 endpoints meant they were closer to Newcastle at the bottom than Exeter to the top.

The crushed center was a messy mess of teams that would never make it to the final. It was indeed the busiest mid-table ever, with only five points between fourth and ninth place.

Exeter and Saracens or both are now in eight of the last 10 finals, and although it does not match the dominance of Leicester and Wasps, who made 11 consecutive Twickenham dates among them a concern that in essence the competition becomes a foregone conclusion?

Lam thinks it is all due to a continuity that almost no other team has in the verdict,

& # 39; There is a style of play , a culture, a leadership all of them. & # 39;

& # 39; Most importantly, those parties have had the same coach group for 10 years, "he said. understand.

& # 39; The issue we have had at Bristol is that we have played one season for the past ten years of Premiership. Even teams like Worcester and Newcastle have players with more than 100 Rugby Premiership matches – we have guys from the championship. & # 39; He is right in the sense that of the other teams he only has the right continuity of location, director of rugby and style … although their players have and will have a great influence

[Exhaust and Saracens] Gloucester, Harlequins, Northampton, Bristol, Worcester and Leicester have their coaches have not been around for more than four seasons and Bath is changing again. Exeter and Saracens have a slowly evolving team, with the same top man and comparable coaching staff, for a decade.

Chris Boyd – who upset Robbert van Exeter this week by suggesting that it would be good for the competition as those with more & # 39; optimism & # 39; find a way to get closer to the Chiefs and Sarries – put it down to playing styles.

& # 39; They are not unbeatable, but both sides have taught you how to suppress their physical domination.

& # 39; At the end of the day, their games are around the territory and physically

& Gloucester has defeated Exeter in a fairly critical European game, so they are not unbeatable, but you have to work out how to suppressed physical domination from both sides. & # 39; So who will bring continuity and optimism? When does the other side than Exeter or Saracens win the competition? And who will it be?

The World Cup means that the Premiership will start in October and have a period of 15 consecutive rounds, with a final in June. That will distort things. But this time it's probably the same again, isn't it?

MAY DAY!

When it comes to the month of May – when the medals are traditionally distributed * – Saracens and Exeter are clearly above the rest. Since losing Exeter in a regular competition in 2015, Saracens have been lost only three times in the month of May in four years, again to Exeter in the 2018 semi-final, and to Wasps and Worcester with rotated teams

Perhaps they had not played more recent Champions League games, but perhaps even more impressive than Exeter in the last four years just losing to Saracens in May. I was with a rotated team this month and the other two were in the Premiership final. Their last defeat in May was already in 2014 when they lost 30-29 to Harlequins!

* (We realize that this year's end is on June 1, but the point is right?)

PAT THE TIME-LORD

This article is a start. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.

It's not all fun and fun for the barbarians. Ok, a lot of it is fun and games … but coach Pat Lam has added a touch of professionalism and a fair amount of humor to the legendary drinking, sorry, invitational side.

Lam has begun to & # 39; Barbarians Got Talent & # 39; game for the team this week, with a mix of games and challenges that give mini teams points. The boys and girls who go to England on Sunday had a great evening out on Tuesday evening – first it was their president's dinner in their Park Lane hotel, then a big session with the men's and women's teams combined with some for up to 5 hours. in the morning

But they are all remembered

Malakai Fekitoa and Loni Uhila were late for a team meeting last year in the week in which they were playing England (and defeated them 63-45) … both would start, but Lam let them fall of the XV

That story served as a warning to Barbarian boozers this week – even the weakest

FASHIONABLE PICKS

Not much to get excited about in this England XV for the Barbarians, really, apart from if you're in it or want to call Alex Dombrandt, Marcus Smith, Ben Curry and the two Bristolians Callum Sheedy and Piers O & # 39; Conor view.

But there is an interesting stat under the low-key fixture. Jim Mallinder is in charge and has expanded the number of people who have taken England since 2016 (the Eddie Jones era) to a stunning 126.

It's more like the onions came out when you discovered that 60 (SIXTY ) of that fate have never won a cap. The most variation is back row (28 players) and at the back three (25) with only five halves and seven hookers selected.

With 126 & # 39; English & # 39; players knocking (although three have stopped testing and two countries have moved), this means that in each round of the Premiership, about 60% of all players who qualify for England have now been picked at least once.

And when you look at the club, it's interesting. (19459003)

But Bath and Harlequins – two of the (19459002)

But Bath and Harlequins – two of the most middling clubs since 2016 – have the following the most with 15 picks each.

Consecutive Last premier league for the leaders of Exeter. However, they only won one, against Wasps in 2017 – and their record at Twickenham is played eight, one won, seven lost.

2014 The last time Saracens lost at Twickenham. That was 24-20 in extra time for Northampton in the Premiership final, but since they won seven times at headquarters – four London Double Headers and three Premiership finals.

2 Wins in seven for Saracens against Exeter – but they beat Exeter every time the teams met in the final. Sarries won the Engels-Welsh final at Franklin & # 39; s Gardens in 2015 and two Premiership final in 2016 and 2018.

86% Successful launch for Exeter-fly-half Joe Simmonds – he made 36 of the 42 spades this season, good for 81 points, at a much better speed than opposite number Owen Farrell. The captain of England has taken 54 of 72 kicks with a speed of 75%, but has taken 131 points

7 Points back and you always lose the final. No team has been seven points behind or more and returns to win the last Premiership. The biggest turning point was when the Saracens had risen 6-0 in the 32nd minute of the 2014 final against Northampton and lost 24-20 extra time.
