Welcome to the Collective.
Hello and welcome back to the Rugby Collective Podcast.
We are here for our final ranking of players in the Prem.
Our final top 10 list.
And boys, I'm a little bit sad about it.
I understand that these have been quite long and you've had to think for once on the podcast because some of us just prepare it for you and put it on a plate.
But...
I am quite sad that we've come to the end.
I was going to say just around the corner.
It's about three weeks away.
But it's getting there.
It's close.
And we've got...
Is it Prem Rugby Cup action this weekend?
It is indeed.
It is indeed.
By the time this has come out, it may have already started as well.
So that's very exciting.
We're finally getting...
And I think teams will use it as sort of pre-season.
So a lot of teams will have fairly...
At least half their teams, I reckon.
So I reckon it could be decent teams.
Yeah, well, two teams have gone early with their selections, haven't they? SAIL have gone early, ours have Bristol.
Both have released their teams for their respective games this weekend.
And there's a lot of very strong sides going out, ultimately.
Players are coming in with very strong 15s.
So I think, yeah, I like the aspect of this being the way that the Prem Cup's utilised.
Yeah, I think it makes more sense than what was happening a couple of years ago where it was kind of, you've had pre-season, then you have it, but then it's kind of a youth tournament and a bit of a mess where actually if you're going to not have it as a major, I know they pass it as a major competition, but if teams aren't going to take it mega serious, having it as a pre-season sort of, first few rounds at least gives it some like some sort of point of difference and i guess also fans coming in as well it probably makes it from an advertising point of view a bit more interesting than just a pre-season picture
Well, yeah, and you'll get cheaper tickets, which might see more people in, and then maybe into the season.
We will see.
But yeah, we'll get straight into our list.
