Sports Blog 31/08/2017: Rugby Union Preview – AVIVA Premiership, Friday 1st September 2017 to Saturday 26th May 2018



Can the Exeter Chiefs successfully defend their AVIVA Premiership title, or will Saracens, Wasps or, indeed, someone else take the crown?

After being losing Grand Finalists in 2015/16, the Chiefs finally secured their first Premiership title in May with an extra-time victory over Wasps (who had actually finished the regular season in 1st place, on the same points as Exeter but with 2 more wins). This time around they’re still expected to be in amongst it – with a Regular Season Index spread of 33-36 and a Grand Final Index spread of 18-21 – but, like the rest of the league, look set to lag behind Saracens.

The London club are far and away the favourites for 2016/17 – they sit at a Regular Season Index spread of 42-45 and have a Grand Final Index spread of 28-31. That shouldn’t come as a surprise. Saracens have won back-to-back Champions Cups, and before last season – where they finished in 3rd, before losing their play-off semi to Exeter – had done the same in the Premiership, winning in 2014/15 and 2015/16.

The rest of the play-off places will likely be filled by the same teams as last season: beaten finalists Wasps, and the most successful team in the history of the Premiership, Leicester Tigers. The former sit at a Regular Season Index spread of 33-36, the same as Exeter, alongside a Grand Final Index spread of 18-21. The latter, meanwhile, are definitely the outsiders of those who made it to the 2016/17 play-offs at Regular Season and Grand Final Index spreads of 20-23 and 8-11 respectively.

And what of the other end of the table? Well, it’s not exactly a shock that London Irish – last season’s Championship champs – are favourite for the chop with a measly Regular Season spread of 1-2.5. The Worcester Warriors, who finished in 11th place but 13 points ahead of the relegated Bristol, are then at 4-6, while Newcastle Falcons are at 6-9.
