BATH: GRANDPA SIMPSON
They definitely remember when they were successful in the olden days – and aren’t shy of rambling on about it (which was the style at the time). A bit toothless in the Premiership era, but also an ever-present and a reassuringly historic fixture in this brave new world.
EXETER CHIEFS: NED FLANDERS
For so long peeping over the fence into the neighbour’s yard, Exeter finally arrived at the Premier garden party a little late but are now right amont it.
