Summary
There was an astonishing 54 tries across the five Prem matches this weekend, but is it a positive when so many matches were one-sided? Is the Prem in danger of becoming a two-tiered league or are teams just in transition? Ugo, Danny and Chris try to make sense of a crazy weekend which saw Saracens’ Noah Calouri bag another five tries against Sale in a huge win on Sunday. How costly could that defeat be for Sale? Exeter put on a show for their potential new owners despite a late Northampton winner and Finn Russell has been snapped up by Eddie Hearn and joins Henry Pollock at Matchroom. Could more players follow suit and what would success look like?
