The former Munster boss has given his first interview since joining the English side.

The fixture schedule for the 2022/23 Premiership season has been confirmed.

The two out-halves will take centre-stage in Saturday’s final at Twickenham.

Saracens will secure the Premiership crown for a sixth time in 12 seasons if they topple Leicester at Twickenham on Saturday.

Elsewhere, Leicester beat Bristol 56-26 and Saracens won 38-16 at Worcester.

The Sharks have not claimed a league win on the road this season.

Elsewhere, Saracens swept to a 61-29 win over Worcester Warriors and winless Bath were beaten 40-20 by Gloucester.

Bath will now face Exeter, while Wasps meet Bristol in the semi-finals.

Teams will face as low as four-day turnarounds to play out all remaining rounds.

A further four non-playing staff have also tested positive after 804 tests on Monday.

‘Nothing will happen until it is safe to do so,’ says Premiership Rugby chief executive.

Will Hurrell came off with a head injury during his side’s clash with Leicester in January.

There is no suggestion that players were complicit in the club’s actions and the report advised against relegating the European champions.

Sarries board want to restore confidence and rebuild trust after accepting punishment.

The club will play in the RFU Championship in 2020/21.

The European champions have been heavily sanctioned by Premiership Rugby.

The sale of a reported 27% stake will direct funds towards improving facilities and expanding to new markets, say Premiership Rugby.

Northampton also ended their losing streak in the Premiership earlier.

Premiership Rugby have taken a firm stance on the issue.

Premiership Rugby policy prevents clubs from releasing non-English players for Tests outside of the official window.

Chiefs led 14 -10 at half-time, but were held to 20 – 20 after full time and extra-time.

‘It is yet to be explained why bringing an additional £12m into the game is not in the best interests of Welsh rugby.’

Having released the winger outside the IRB’s official Test window, the club has been disciplined by the Premiership.

Premiership Rugby stakeholders met today to discuss their future in ERC competitions.

The TV channel’s chief executive, Marc Watson, says they aren’t at the root of the problem.

The FFR say they will stand in the way of their clubs who hope to join the ‘Rugby Champions Cup’.

The European Rugby Cup CEO repeated the points agreed in this week’s Dublin meeting.

The Premiership Rugby boss also says he is not concerned whether Pro12 clubs follow the breakaway tournament.

Are the Heineken Cup’s days really numbered?

The Heineken Cup has at least another two years to run.

The governing body has agreed a new four-year broadcast deal with Sky while contending that Premiership Rugby was not in a position to sell exclusive rights for European cup fixtures.

The deal will also dilute Sky TV’s monopoly on Heineken Cup coverage.

The scrum-half will join English side Saracens for three months after agreement was reached between the two sides.
