Twickenham double header (televised) sees Saracens host Worcester and Quins hosting new boys Bristol. The final televised match is on the Sunday with Wasps entertaining visitors Exeter. Saints and Bath meet at the Gardens in the remaining match.


Regular season concludes on 6th May.

A nice easy start for Quins. And it counts as an away game for us so we'll get to play Bristol at the Stoop later this season too.

that deal Quins used to get is no more it seems. This is a home fixture with the return at Ashton Gate on fiday 10th Feb.

That's what Saints thought last season

The west Country derby, Bath v Bristol is on a Friday night for BT - that is poor way to treat this fixture. Very disappointing.

3 matches are on Fridaybnight that weekend. As TV fixtures not agreed that far out, more likely to avoid clashing with England on the Saturday.

I'd have thought that someone in the club marketing might have made a virtue of that - have an early kick off then stay to watch England in the bar/on the big screen ?

Damn it!

Difficult to get a word in here!

Quins run-in looks tough we have Sarries A, Exeter H, Wasps H and then Saints A

We're all on our hols yappy

I've been having severe withdrawal symptoms and am counting down the days until 2nd September.

I see your boys fancy another crack at us at HQ, I'm not sure my nerves can handle another game like the last one!

We've got you again during the 6N and we've been very fortunate for our matches during Internationals. We've got Wasps (H) and Sarries (A) during the AIs and Tigers (A), Sarries (H), Wasps (A) and Quins (H) during the 6N. If there was ever a year we could finally make the top 6 it will be this season. However, I just don't think we're good enough to do that...

Jeez don't remind me about that last BG! What a way to throw away points.

If I have the dates correct then during the AI's we're away to Tigers then home to Bath. Those could be two wins for us depending on call ups. Our games during the 6Ns look pretty winnable too.

Unfortunately what's on paper doesn't always work out the same in reality.
