The first round of the 2023/24 Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby got underway in fine fashion last weekend. At the end of the round Bristol Bears Women topped the standings after their bonus-point win, followed by Saracens Women in second and Exeter Chiefs Women in third after both also secured five points.
Last week – Sale Sharks and Worcester Warriors did two great things. They received conditional offers to remain in the Premier 15s, after missing out in December’s initial restructure, and they put on a serious show at the Corpacq Stadium.
