FIGHT FOR TOP FOUR | PREMIERSHIP PREVIEW

The final round of games in the Premiership regular season. Who WILL make Top 4?!

[@brianharvey9765]

One benefit of the URC is that is growing interest in the Premiership down here in South Africa. I’ll be watching these games for sure.

[@jakeclough8090]

Yeah you’ve got to watch it, gonna be some great games. I’m surprised more South Africans don’t watch the premiership anyway, there’s great South Africans players in every team

[@AllInTheGame01]

Will be a shame if Saints don't go on to win the whole thing & send off the likes of Courtney Lawes in style!

[@AlfredTheGreatestEver]

The Goat deserves the send off

[@secondchance4498]

You can make an argument for all 7. Maybe Exeter having a young team and no big names leaving are off the list?

[@AllInTheGame01]

@@secondchance4498 But Saints haven't won anything major in over a decade unlike the others I think.

[@secondchance4498]

@@AllInTheGame01 Sale were in the final last year, were top this season, until about 10ish of their starters were injured (just take that in) and would otherwise be top 2. Sale also have big names leaving (Manu) and haven't won in 18 yrs. Sarries have lots of big names leaving, but I'll take your point on recent wins. Bath have been out of it for years and their fans have had to see them struggling. Bristol have big names leaving and I think im right in saying, they have never won the prem. Quins can do one : )

[@charliepotter5785]

After seeing the teams, I'm a very hopeful bath fan. However Exeter and Henry Slade really have been a wonderful surprise this season

[@user-nl2kt9jc9p]

Really have been enjoying all the club rugby content, I know it’s not as popular but thank you for making these vids Tim

[@henryburton6529]

Love the Henry Slade call for player of the season - if you include his England performances I'd be 100% with you. I've never been sure about Slade but this season he's shown me exactly why everyone else has rated him for so long. Unbeleivable season.

[@lerouxzeeman2452]

Great analysis!

[@emersongilbertson5148]

Anyone explain why the matches are on at the same time tomorrow. It’s a bit of a shame

[@MrMargo48]

Surely thats obvious

[@AlfredTheGreatestEver]

On that saints side. Its rotated, but it's certainly not an u20s play thre kids side. There are alot of contenders to be first choice if fully fit. Hutchinson, odendaal, ludlam, Ramm, Mayanavanua, iyogun Graham. These guys have had loads of minutes. Its as well prepared as second string as can be. I think bath will win, but not a massive margin.

[@jakeclough8090]

Club rugby is easily better than international rugby. Way more exciting styles, more teams who compete and more varied styles

[@faranglao8006]

Yes! Something I've been saying to my 6 nations obsessed family for years.

[@simonmorgan225]

As a Scarlets fan I have to disagree, what an awful season 😂 Only joking though club rugby is awesome.

FIGHT!!! FOR YOUR RIGHT..... FOR TOOOOOOP FOUR! ??

[@rowan_8755]

As a quins fan. COME ON LEICESTER!!!

[@martynslinn6607]

Home teams tend to win and Leicester have pedigree and quality so jeopardy for Exeter, genuinly think my team Sale can beat Sarries but it will take a complete performance that i don't think we have yet seen this season, love the tension, has to be good for the sport.

[@faranglao8006]

Newcastle all the way. I cant believe you're not bothered about their final game of the season, Tim.

[@guyveegee]

Come on Chiefs!

[@ericdavison6186]

Further interest would be created if there were relegation play-offs. Thanks eggman Tim!

[@simonmorgan225]

Just disappointed all the games on on at the same time. I understand why, just a shame can't watch more than one.

[@jakeclough8090]

Yeah tnt are showing Saracens v sale and harlequins v Bristol at least, so the 2 biggest games. Don’t know if the others are on that PRTV

[@neilbathe7752]

As was said on the Pod - TNT3 should be flicking between games (assuming they have cameras at all grounds, which I expect they would for highlights if nothing else) to show elements of interest. Imagine Saracens (or Sale, or Harlequins or Bristol) are 40 points up at half time... likely to be a waste of coverage right there...

[@scran7346]

Was this a good prem season this year overall? Didn't get to watch as much as I did last year,. which was great

[@jakeclough8090]

Last year was great but this year has definitely been even better. Teams are way more equal and competitive. Bath, Bristol and exeter done much better. Sale still done okay. Leicester disappointing. Saracens still great but not dominant and then Northampton and harlequins have been having cracking games all year. Such a good product

[@secondchance4498]

Sarries v Sale: Man 4 man Sale have the slightly better 15 and Sarries the better bench. Home advantage and their experience is what makes them favorites. 1. Sale 2. 50/50 3. Sale (Sale scrum has been stronger than Sarries of late) 4. Sarries 5. Sale (Cobus has a 5 on his back) 6. Sale 7. Sarries 8. Sale (just) 9. Sarries 10. 50/50 11. Sale (just) 12. Sale 13. 50/50 14.Sale 15. Sarries 16. Sarries 17. Sale 18. Sale 19. Sale (Ernest has 20 on his back) 20.Sarries 21/22/23 Billy V, Aled D and Goode vs Raffi, Sam James and Reed. Again, Sarries favorites.

[@imspinningfree]

Gonna stick my neck out here: I reckon Saints could beat Bath even having rotated. Bath were shocking in the second half vs Newcastle, Obano was a penalty machine in the scrum. Play like that against any Saints side and they're in trouble. They should win, but I dont think it's a foregone conclusion. Think Exeter will make that 4th spot, but top 3 wont change. The Quins - Bears match is the one to watch though, got pure entertainment written all over it.

[@nath4nt]

That Saints team is strong enough to beat Bath… I don’t think they’ll roll over as easy as you think Tim. Lots of first team players off the injured list looking for minutes, and lots wanting to push for a semi final spot in the team.

[@henrymilleruk100]

I can’t get my head round the tigers starting 15 being so poor. On paper…just doesn’t make sense.

[@neilbathe7752]

[@tim73639]

My prediction... Quins put 50 on Bristol and win the whole thing. Otherwise bath and saints both worthy winners. No bias here at all 🤔

[@fabi-jb]

when saints win ... will you admit that you didn't realise how deep saints are at the moment.... Ludlam, Graham and Gus are one of the best back roows .... slieghts, odendaal and seabrook I hope bath think this is a weak team .... also two internationals in the front row international in second roow and two on the bench... you need to learn about some of these players.

[@danielhurst4744]

As a Bath fan, am not taking this Saints team lightly at all........we know how good these players and team are coming down to The Rec. Saints are the best away fans I've come across in Bath, hope you lose but only because we need the point.....! Will have a pint with you all after whatever the result tho......😀 Not an easy game by any stretch, fingers crossed for the 🔵⚫⚪
