このコンテンツについて
Forget clichés—this weekend showed exactly who’s for real and who’s searching for answers. We start with Bath, who didn’t just win, they imposed a standard: relentless collisions, clean set-piece, and a midfield pairing that bends games their way. Even with rotation, they rolled Gloucester with control and depth that’s frankly scary. We break down why their structure travels and how Ojomoh-Lawrence unlocks space for Russell and Arundell to finish the job.
Then we head to the Stoop, where Harlequins flipped their script. Less “great entertainers,” more steel. Marcus Smith didn’t chase chaos—he manufactured it, pinning Saracens with a clinical kicking game and backing it with thunder in defence. Guido Petti set the tone, the Argentine bench added bite, and Chandler Cunningham-South took on Tom Willis—and won key moments. We talk about what this version of Quins means for the top four, and why Smith’s control changes the England 10 conversation.
At Franklin’s Gardens, Saints rode efficiency to beat Tigers. Alex Mitchell’s deception, Tommy Freeman’s lines, and Eduardo Todaro’s emergence made the difference, even as injuries forced changes. Leicester did plenty right—Freddie Steward was imperious and Emeka Ilione looked every inch an international-in-waiting—but lineout wobble and missed pressure told. We also dive into Sale’s ruthless dismantling of Newcastle, Bristol’s gritty edge against Exeter, and the growing gap between teams that manage territory and those that only manage phases.
We close with sharp Round 4 predictions and a form XV check—who’s the standout 10 right now: Ford, Smith, or Finn? Hit play for detailed breakdowns, honest takes, and a clear read on the Premiership landscape. If you’re into smart tactics, selection battles, and real talk about momentum, you’re in the right place. Enjoy the show, subscribe for weekly deep dives, and tell us your boldest Round 4 pick.
