The Aviva Premiership Rugby kicks off on Friday 6 September 2013.
Newcastle Falcons the promoted outfit kick off the season at home to Bath. This will be a good pointer to how their season will pan out and we are going for a home win.
Saturday we have the Twickenham double headers with London Irish v Saracens and then London Wasps v Harlequins. We will go for a Saracens and Harlequins wins in a couple of free flowing games. In the middle of the double headers Gloucester host Sale Sharks, another pointer to the season and we will go with a home win. Then Northampton Saints host Exeter Chiefs this should be tight but a home win.
The weekend ends with Leicester Tigers at home to Worcester Warriors a game we see Tigers winning after having subdued the Warriors pack. TV coverage this season is with the new BT Sports Channel and as usual we will highlight these games for you.
Here’s to another action packed and good season with a contest up front and competition for the ball. Enjoy!!
