Scrum Recap: Premiership Team of the Season (Jacob's Choice)
Let's go ahead and skip all the cliche's about how difficult and extraordinary the circumstances have been in the Premiership this season... We get the point! Let's look at the positives...This has been an extremely entertaining season all round with controversies, close calls, winning and losing streaks, resignations, a race for top four, giant killings and youth development across the board.
We have three main takeaways from this season's fixtures. 1. Strength in depth is better than strength in your first 15. 2. The new ruck laws will revolutionise what it means to be a top class 7. 3. Don't play with the salary budget...
