A RETURN TO FRIENDL(IES) AT BEDFORD
A return to playing a couple of preseason matches building to the start of the Gallagher Premiership with the away match at Harlequins. I recall playing Bedford in the PREM Cup a couple of years ago when the Championship Clubs were admitted and we played Bedford and Ampthill. Their league has been rebranded “Champ Rugby”, presumably by the same marketing company that imaginatively rebranded the The Premiership Cup as the PREM Cup!

Saracens v Northampton Saints Prem Cup Match Report
Sometimes the cliche is just too apt to avoid, so in the words of the late great Jimmy Greaves “it’s a game of two halves”. The final score of Saracens 96 - Northampton 42 might not seem too surprising looking at the two teamsheets, but I don’t think I have ever seen a game quite like it. With a total of 20 tries, 2 (I think) yellow cards and a move to uncontested scrums there was a heck of a lot going on. I have tried my best to detail what happened across the game but other recollections may vary!

A SALE BEFORE THE SEASON
It seems very strange to be playing a “PREM” Cup game in very early September sandwiched between the friendly pre-season game at Perpignan and the pre-season friendlies against Bedford and a tougher warm up match against Glasgow. The format remains the same as last year and in our Pool, we have Sale, Bristol, Gloucester and Exeter and we play all of the teams home and away.

SARRIES v NORTHAMPTON Preview
First of all a very big welcome to Nick who is the newest member of our editorial team. Please show him your appreciation for his preview After Friday’s warm up act here comes the main event, the start of the 2026/27 competitive season. It is fair to say that last season as a whole was (massive understatement coming up) a tricky one for Saracens, and nowhere was this more evident than in the Prem Cup. 3 wins out of 8, 2 of which came against a weak Newcastle side, was a poor return for a talented group. That set of results also included losses home and away to our opponents in Round 1 of this year’s competition, Northampton Saints.
