The 2021/22 season of the Gallagher Rugby Premiership was one to remember. Harlequins turned the season into a bit of a fairytale with their title win after beating Bristol Bears and Exeter Chiefs in the semi-final and final.

The bookies are offering Harlequins at 11.00 to retain the title but it is Saracens who come into the season as favourites at 2.50 with betway.

Saracens played a division down last season after being docked points the season before due to salary cap breaches. That forced their relegation, but as expected, they returned to the Premiership with ease.

The biggest plus is that they perennial Premiership winners kept most of their star players despite not playing in the top division.

Exeter Chiefs, who have dominated alongside Saracens in recent years are paying 3.60 while Sale Sharks are priced at 7.50. Last season’s losing semi-finalist, Bristol Bears offers value at 8.50.
