Domestic & European Rugby 2017-18

Gloucester v Saracens might be interesting on Friday given all the players they have missing for the international games.

I really struggle with the domestic games at this time of year, in the 6N it feels more natural to have the 2 together (I have no idea why) but these game just feel odd.

Well Gloucester have had nobody called up internationally so should be looking to make hay whilst the sun shines.

Excellent that Worcester finally get a win, BP even better :-) different team with Houggard pulling the strings, from no hope a month or so ago avoiding relegation is a true competition again

You were playing saints who seem to have contracted the Villa disease of being the team you want to play if you have an unwanted record you need to get rid of.

Yup.  Predictably Sunderland face Villa in their next match, just in time for the new manager bounce to take effect.

I blame myself if I'm honest, Villa relegated, Bears relegated, Saints blowing up everytime they look like they might be on the right path, it's like a curse.

Good game on Friday. That is the first time Gloucester have won three on the bounce in the league for years.

[Gareth]

Worcester bonus point win at Leicester - unheard of :-)

Four and a bonus point!

Worcester bonus point win at Leicester - unheard of :-)

First win there in 122 years.

New coach bounce for the mighty Lyd

Dumped the coach after just four games (all defeats) and then beat Camborne

[cheltenhamlion]

Five on the spin now for Gloucester.

[Jon Crofts]

Chris Ashton from zero to hero yesterday for Toulon against Barf.

[paul_e]

Saints have given Mallinder the boot, came about 6-7 months later than I expected but the writing has been on the wall for a while now.

[cheltenhamlion]

They can't keep losing at that rate. Any word on a replacement?
