Thanks to our friends at Aviva, here is a review ov Round 2 of the AVIVA Premiership.
Exeter Chiefs top the Aviva Premiership Rugby table after two rounds (if only by virtue of points difference) following their 32-15 win over Newcastle Falcons. Their try bonus point means they have nine points from two matches following their opening day win at Welford Road.
Level with them on points are London Wasps after their 35-29 win over Leicester Tigers. The undoubted star of the show was Wasps’ England under 20 wing Christian Wade, who followed his try against Saracens last weekend with a hat trick against Tigers.
Harlequins are third in the table following their 26-13 win over Northampton Saints on Friday night, with Joe Gray and Ugo Monye getting on the scoresheet.
Behind Quins are a clutch of clubs who have won one and lost one. Leading that pack is Gloucester Rugby after their 29-8 win over Worcester Warriors at Kingsholm which saw a second successive try for young English centre Jonny May.
Bath Rugby are fifth and Saracens sixth after Saracens claimed a thrilling 26-28 win at the Recreation Ground, with Owen Farrell’s last minute penalty hitting both posts before dropping over.
London Irish remain winless in tenth after their 30-29 defeat at Edgeley Park. The Sharks outscored their visitors by three tries to two, with the Sale tries from Welsh scrum half Dwayne Peel and young English forwards Henry Thomas and James Gaskell, with young English centre Jonathan Joseph claiming his first try of the season for the Exiles.
