A try-filled round of Premiership rugby has prompted discussion about how high scorelines could rise and what may be behind the apparent increase in points. The latest round is being examined through the broader question of scoreboard inflation in the competition.
Alongside the focus on the volume of points and tries, Saracens’ old-school style is among the issues attracting attention. The club’s approach forms part of a wider assessment of the weekend’s action and the different themes emerging from it.
A royal pint also features in the round-up of talking points. The supplied material does not provide further details about the occasion or those involved.
The latest discussion therefore centres on three themes: the abundance of tries, the reasons for increasingly high-scoring matches and Saracens’ traditional methods, with the royal reference adding a separate talking point from the Premiership round.
