Make a case for your team!

As an American I don’t have any skin in the game or a dog in the fight but I’ve enjoyed the Premiership in the past. As someone with no community ties, who should I follow?

Watch a few games, and see where your heart takes you.
Whose style of play makes you want to tune in for more?

Northampton saints, best club, best supporters, best ground and best style of rugby to watch.

At the moment I'd say Saints play the most interesting and adventurous style and have frequently been there or there abouts. Harlequins also play exciting rugby but seem to have a lot more variability in their performances. Case in point, a few years back they lost all their games and were bottom of the table, they then sacked their coach and won everything, including the league iirc.

Bath have a strong history but have only really found reasonable form again in the last 3 years or so.

Saracens used to dominate everything but their style was a bit divisive. They still retain their style but have not had quite the same degree of success.

Tigers have a reputation for being very traditionally English, forwards dominated and also have always been there or there abouts.

I suggest watch a few games and gear in mind the form can fluctuate quite a lot. See who gets you excited and just go for them.

Thanks for the advice. I’ve been watching a lot of recent internationals and I like watching Tom Curry. George Ford is also a familiar name. Going to try and watch Sale play some for sure

Bristol.

We have the best accent and dialect.



We play "Bristol Fashion" rugby, which spurred other clubs in the PREM to move in a more expansive direction.

(eg; our match 6 days ago)



And we still have a number of key players to come back who like to do things like this





Arr mate, ees be a Bear. Drink up thy zider.

Choosing the prem is like choosing a Nissan when you have the option of a Bentley (Top 14) or one of these (URC):

Sale is a great choice (if you want to end up questioning why you got interested in the sport in the first place )

We have the odd good performance but this season has been very frustrating - maybe you'll be the good luck charm we need

If you like watching Sale you should probably just pick a South African team. After all, sale = South Africa's Largest Employer.

A town vs all the city boys. We are the England back division. The expansive rugby Bristol dream of. We are royalty Princess Diana and HRH Pollock. Great shoes

There's a special place in hell for Leicester Tigers, and let's be honest there's not much else going for Northampton town.
