A new season is here, with all new players, conditions and club rumours to influence your pub predictions. So start your guessing!
We have worked with SuperBru to bring you another season of pitting your wits against other Rugby World readers, proving you’re more than a tad clairvoyant and more than a little familiar with the ins and outs of the Premiership and Pro12.
To give you something to pit your wits against (and laugh at), our team have put their heads together for this opening week and offered some preditions. Here they are by competition.
Here are our predictions for the Aviva Premiership SuperBru pool, round one.
Northampton versus Gloucester: Saints by 3
Sale versus Bath: Sale by 5
Saracens versus Wasps: Sarries by 8
Leicester versus Newcastle: Tigers by 16
London Irish versus Harlequins: Quins by 13
London Welsh versus Exeter: Chiefs by 6
