Watch: Big Jim Hamilton unleashed at Premiership season launch
By Online Editors
The launch for the new 2018/19 Gallagher Premiership season took place at Twickenham on Thursday. RugbyPass sent along Jim Hamilton who managed to evade security to get in and speak with some of the players and Director's of Rugby.
It didn't start well with Ben Youngs walking off, but things got better from then on. He found out all you need to know, what does Tom Wood really think of James Haskell, what age is George Smith really?
Sadly there were no offers of a playing contract from any of the clubs - better luck next year Jim.
The Premiership season kicks off this Friday with the Bristol Bears taking on Bath Rugby at Ashton Gate...it's getting close!

Go to commentsActually the era defining moment came a few years earlier. February 2002 to be precise, when Michael D Higgins as finance minister at the time introduced his sports persons tax relief bill to the dial. As the politicians of the day stated “It seems to be another daft K Club frolic born in Kildare amongst the well-paid professional jockeys with whom the Minister plays golf” and that the scheme represented “a savage uncaring vision of Ireland and one that should be condemned”. The irfu and Leinster would be nowhere near the position they are in today without this key component of the finances.
