THE battle lines have been drawn, changes have been made and the final countdown has begun. The new Aviva Premiership season is dawning and it promises to be even bigger and better than the last. There are new faces, innovative coverage, different laws and a new team line-up, but it is still all essentially about one thing…

The Leicester Tigers are the proud defending champions of the highly esteemed English title, however, they face tough competition from the other 11 top teams, including the newly named comeback kings: the Falcons. If the prospect of having a ‘brand new’ old line-up was not enough for every hungry rugby fan, the rugby wizard Dean Ryan is also back to keep the Worcester Warriors on their toes and to make it even more difficult for anybody to guess who will reign supreme on May 31st 2014.

As the final stitches are sewn into the club shirts and boots are laced, BT Sport have been busy giving the Premiership a much needed facelift to make it even more accessible to fans.

 

Thanks to innovative new camera technology fitted in changing rooms, by the kicking tee and even at the lineout, fans can now feel closer than ever to their heroes. Before games kick off there will be a pitch walk and throughout the matches there will be interviews with coaches, but hopefully reporters will choose the right time to do them otherwise they may need to invest in a bleeper. The intrusive camera angles and poignant interviews may improve the rugby experience for fans but the best additional feature of the 2013/ 2014 season has to be that there will be television match officials appointed at every premiership fixture, regardless of whether the match is put on the big screen. All the clubs in the Premiership agreed that having no television referee inadvertently led to sides suffering injustices because of split try and penalty decisions by the referee and  money was injected to make the Aviva Premiership the first league in the world to have a TMO at every game.

PREMIERSHIP TRANSFERS

With so much change there always has to be something that splits the rugby world. This season’s controversial alteration is the changing laws of the scrum, again. The referee will now tell packs to “Crouch, Bind and Set.” Props will have to crouch when ordered and bind using their outside arm whilst scrum halves face being heavily penalised if they do not feed the ball straight.

 

This change has been brought in after it was trialled in the IRB Pacific Rugby Cup and was thought to lead to fewer resets and more successful scrums, but others beg to differ, though none are much happier with the new arrangement than this front row of yesteryear demonstrating for the media earlier this week at Twickers...

Only time will tell whether the new scrum laws will collapse, but what can be known for certain is that the Aviva Premiership will have plenty of surprises in store after kicking off back at Kingston Park on Friday night.
