As an aside, I note London Irish are also in the European Challenge Cup. Is it really impossible for a Premiership team not to qualify for Europe?

How does that work? They weren't even IN the Prem last season!
Worcester (who finished 10th i think) were playing a Russian team on Friday night - Enisei. They are in Siberia, 2700 miles away. Worcester fielded a young side and spanked the Russkies 57-14. What IS the point of them being in the competition (and it ain't in Europe)?

Are they still giving money from each seat sold in the Higgs stand as they can’t be getting much if they are

It wouldn't surprise me if the majority of the free tickets they gave out were for that stand so they didn't have to pay out.

Has there been anything in either Wasps or Higgs accounts to show how much money has been paid on that agreement?

Would surely have to show somewhere?

They won, but if they'd have lost against a side that were beaten last week by what was a severely weakened Edinburgh side, I'd have been shocked.
Not looking good for them going forward, and they appear to have lost Launchbury for some time due to injury on top of that.
How sad.

If saracens make up those points this could be a very good season.

From my limited understanding of Premiership Rugby, I think its a case of when, not if, Saracens make up the points they lost. Certainly, let's hope that's the case.

Just one team that is relegated is it?

One down, one up. Almost always, it's the team that gets relegated goes straight back up next season, and vice versa.

Great, thanks for that. So where can I buy a Saracens scarf?

I’m more worried about Leicester tigers spoiling our plans by getting themselves relegated

That's very much the more likely scenario. Thing is, although Saracens got a big fine and a hefty deduction, they've still got the players there that got them into such a dominant position. It's inevitable that they'll make those points up.

Don't watch I'm a Celeb but from what's being said on twitter Haskell is coming across as a complete dick, who would have guessed?!

Somewhat irrelevant as he's not been a cuckoo for quite a while now.
However, All Black outside half Lima Sopoaga IS a Wasps player and is now being reported as jumping ship when his current two year contract ends (not taking up the option of a third year).
More interesting than jungle shite anyway ;)
