2019–20 Premiership Rugby

Add article description

The 2019–20 Gallagher Premiership was the 33rd season of the top flight English domestic rugby union competition and the second one to be sponsored by Gallagher. The reigning champions entering the season were Saracens, who had claimed their fifth title after defeating Exeter Chiefs in the 2019 final. London Irish had been promoted as champions from the 2018–19 RFU Championship at the first attempt.

The competition was broadcast by BT Sport for the seventh successive season and with five games also simulcast free-to-air on Channel 5. Highlights of each weekend's games were shown on Channel 5 with extended highlights on BT Sport.

Summary

Exeter Chiefs won their second title after defeating Wasps in the final at Twickenham having also topped the regular season table. Saracens were automatically relegated after having failed to comply with prior years salary cap restrictions and were deducted a total of 105 points across two separate judgements. It was the second time that Saracens have been relegated from the top flight since the leagues began and the first time since the 1992–93 Premiership Rugby season.

Due to changes to the global rugby calendar and the COVID-19 pandemic, this season started and finished later than previous seasons and including the Premiership Rugby Cup, ran for 58 weeks in total.

On 5 November 2019, Premiership Rugby announced that Saracens would be deducted 35 points in the 2019–20 season and fined £5.3 million due to undisclosed payments to players in previous seasons.[1] Saracens initially said they would appeal the ruling, but on 18 November announced that they accepted the punishments, with the deduction leaving them 26 points adrift at the bottom of the table.[2] After further failure to comply with the salary cap, Saracens were announced to be automatically relegated at the end of the season on 18 January 2020 despite relegation not being an available sanction in the salary cap regulations.[3] On 28 January 2020 this was confirmed with the application of a further 70 point deduction.[4]

On 16 March 2020, the league was suspended for an initial five week period due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Resumption was originally scheduled for the weekend of 24/25/26 April but was later postponed indefinitely.[5][6] The restart eventually took place on 14 August,[7] with all games played behind closed doors and broadcast live on BT Sport.[8] Channel 5 also broadcast 5 matches.[9]

Teams

Twelve teams compete in the league – the top eleven teams from the previous season and London Irish who were promoted from the 2018–19 RFU Championship after a top flight absence of one year. They replaced Newcastle Falcons who were relegated after six years in the top flight.

    Preseason

    The 2019 edition of the Premiership Rugby Sevens Series was held at Franklin's Gardens on 13 and 14 September 2019. For the third successive year all twelve Premiership teams would feature in one venue over two days. Teams would be split into four pools of three which played each other once in a round-robin basis with the tournament splitting into Cup and Plate competitions on the second day.[11]

    In a repeat of the 2018 final, Saracens beat Wasps 35–19 to win the 2019 Premiership Sevens Cup. Gloucester beat Sale Sharks to win the Plate. It was the third successive year Wasps had made the cup final of the competition.[12]

    Notes

    1. Premiership Rugby gave an attendance of 5,500 for the Saracens v Leicester Tigers game on 7 March, compared to 6,564 in The Rugby Paper. Until a more accurate figure can be produced by Premiership Rugby, The Rugby Paper version will be used.
    2. Spectators were admitted to the match in limited capacity and socially distanced as part of a government trial
    3. After a number of Sale players tested positive for COVID-19 following their match with Northampton the previous round, a number of Northampton players and staff self-isolated as a precaution. Northampton forfeited the game to Gloucester, with Gloucester being awarded four tries and a bonus point victory.[18]
    4. Postponed from 4 October after a number of Sale Sharks players tested positive for COVID-19.[19]
    5. After a number of Sale players tested positive for COVID-19 following their match with Northampton the previous round, a further round of testing was undertaken and additional positive tests were recorded. Sale Sharks therefore forfeited the game to Worcester, with Worcester being awarded four tries and a bonus point victory.[20]
