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.

Cornish Pirates v Saracens Pre-Season Friendly Report
Always nice to see a healthy win for the Wolfpack! We started off our season of rugby with a comprehensive win at the Mennaye. It was excellent that the pirates broadcasted this match on YouTube, many thanks to their media team for that one. Unbiased commentary also a blessing, please can we swap Austin healey and Andy goode for the pirates commentators? I was saddened I couldn’t make it to the Mennaye for this game but Friday night on bank holiday weekend in Cornwall presented a whole manner of problems travel wise, especially since I live virtually the opposite side of England. Ho hum. After a homemade oven baked pizza and a beer or two, I sat down to scope out how our team looked after preseason and what shapes/lines we could cut in attack. The team was an interesting one, with familiar faces and perhaps ones we don’t know quite as well. Vilikesa Nairau (last season signing rom Coventry I believe) was starting at loosehead, Eoghan Clarke (who I confess I’ve not heard of before) was at hooker, a talented young wing called Fraser Rawlins, new signing Alfie Barbeary at 8 (head shaved, ready to rumble) and Max Malins in his original position of fly half. A feisty team with the ball in hand and it was good to see more running rugby for the most part.
