IS it just me or has Premiership rugby gone up several notches? And is it anything to do with a lack of jeopardy from relegation this year.
Josh Hodge’s try for Exeter v Gloucester, could already be try of the season, it was so good.
Bristol Bears against Harlequins was an absolutely terrific example of how rugby should be played, with panaché and nerve. I’m not suggesting ringfencing should be introduced permanently, but I think it’s having a worthy influence on our game at present.
