Connacht v Saracens Champions Cup Report
A rather frustrating game culminating in us taking 0 match points despite scoring 6 tries. Another clang in the time of changing competition style and rules AGAIN. I can’t keep up with the changing rules each year personally. Nonetheless we flew out to Shannon late Friday night and checked into our AirBnB. A restful night meant we were refreshed and raring to go to cheer Sarries on as much as possible. Saturday rolled around and, post coffee and breakfast, headed straight to the Murty Rabbitts for Guinness and the SSA meet up. It was brilliant to see Sarries fans in Galway in such big numbers and a big turnout on the terraces and Clan Stand alike.

Wade set to break Prem try-scoring record
Newcastle boss Dan McFarland is confident Christian Wade will break Prem Rugby's try-scoring record. The 35-year-old former England winger scored a hat-trick in Newcastle's 34-28 loss at Exeter to take his tally to 100 over his career. Wade needs just one more try to equal Chris Ashton's record of 101, which was set in April 2023. "Christian is a really good man, an excellent connector," McFarland told BBC Sport.

Nottingham v Blues
Blues finally got their season started with a convincing win against Pirates. Nottingham have also won 1 and lost 3, but going to play them on a Friday night is never an easy task.

Connacht v Saracens Champions Cup Preview
And so the Champions Cup 26-27 returns in yet another different format to the last, this time around with fixtures beginning in October. Not sure how to feel about this, it makes the whole competition very disjointed in my opinion and further disjoints the domestic league/s. Anyway, there seems to be a strong travelling contingent heading over to Galway to watch this one. I have never been to the Dexcom, so this will be another stadium ticked off the list (fun fact – it’s also used as a greyhound racing stadium).

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: BATH V MONTPELLIER
“Bath Rugby a des comptes à régler en Europe.” After the disappointment of last year’s semi final defeat at the hands of eventual winners UBB, with all its attendant controversy, there is a definite sense of having a score to settle or at least having unfinished business in the Champions Cup. The road to closing out that unfinished business begins at the Rec on Saturday evening with the visit of Montpellier Hérault who convincingly defeated Ulster in the final in Bilbao to win the Challenge Cup last season.
