The Premiership returns with a big match on Sunday

So, after a long break for the Eurocups, the Premiership returns to stadiums and TV screens. The tournament kicks off on Friday with a match between Bristol and Gloucester. Pat Lam’s team dropped out of the Champions Cup with a heartbreaking defeat to Sale Sharks. Gloucester went on. By the way, recently the teams met each other in the Premiership Cup. And here Gloucester were luckier – the win was 43:15. Also on Friday, Newcastle will continue to climb out of the bottom of the standings. This time it will be facing the tough London Irish. The Irish still have a theoretical chance of making the playoffs, so a win would be more important than ever. And while fans in stadiums will be watching with bated breath the battle between the two teams, at https://gg.bet/en/esports/ you can bet on Esports events that are as interesting as rugby matches.

In Saturday’s slot, Valeriy Morozov’s Bath will try to squeeze something out of their encounter with Northampton, while the Harlequins will have a tough time against table leader Leicester. The Tigers look like a real machine, but as they say, it’s not always easy. Saturday’s last matchup will be a battle of Wasps and Worcester. The Wasps are the clear favorite for this matchup. But sometimes even the favorites lose games because they are overconfident or because their opponent is well prepared. In a sport like rugby this does not happen very often, but in eSports odds at gg.bet/en/esports/ can present some interesting opportunities for fans of such games.

Pillar of the Russian national team Valery Morozov will start next season with Worcester Warriors. The agreement with the 27-year-old rugby player is for one year. The player will join the new club in the summer. Worcester Warriors will be Morozov’s third English club after Bath and Sail Sharks.

Valery Morozov said: “I enjoyed working with Steve at Sale Sharks and am happy to be reunited with him again. I’m familiar with his demands and hope to help Worcester get into the top six of the Premier League.

In other transfer news. Philip van der Walt will continue to play for Newcastle. The South African has signed a new contract.

The agreement is for three more seasons. The 31-year-old flanker has played 32 games in Newcastle rugby since moving from the Sharks three years ago. Van der Walt previously played for Biarritz, Canon Eagles and Chitsas.

Philip was able to recover from a knee injury and could finally return to the field this coming Friday in the match against London Irish.

The 23rd round of the Premier League will conclude on Sunday with a clash of playoff zone rivals. Runners-up Saracens will try to bring Exeter to nothing. The visitors badly need a win, because their current fourth place is too shaky, and there are several rivals on their toes.
