These Clubs want to play the Force because they know how to play ELVs -

Here is how these teams finished in this years Guinness Premiership i.e. the equivalent of the S14 league this year and last year in brackets
Gloucester Rugby 1 No change (1)
London Wasps 2 Up (5)
Bath Rugby 3 Down (2)
Leicester Tigers 4 Up (6)
Sale Sharks 5 Down (3)
Harlequins 6 Down (4)
London Irish 7 No change (7)
Saracens 8 No change (8)
Bristol Rugby 9 No change (9)
Worcester Warriors 10 Up (11)
Newcastle Falcons 11 Down (10)
Leeds Carnegie 12 No change (12)

The other team called the Northampton Saints finished top of the next division down - all the teams that the are playing in the North East part of England - less than 200 km apart

sounds like a good trip

[Em-Forcer]

Saracens would be a bit of a bugger for me to get to - but I'll be at Newcastle for sure! (and hopefully also Northampton and Leicester...)

"Bayonne is a good first game for us," commented Jones. "Their ambitions are not too dissimilar to ours in that they have fallen just short and want to go forward and be up there. Western Force have played under the new ELVs (Experimental Law Variations) and will be a good test while Gwent will be a tough encounter."

This is how to prepare for the 2009 season.
