A star-studded Saracens team lose their first game in the Championship
Saracens suffer 17-25 defeat by Cornish Pirates in first game in Greene King Championship
Former English and European champions Saracens travelled to Penzance for their first second-tier game following their relegation for breaching the Premierships salary cap rules
Congratulations to the Cornish Pirates. Arrrhh-some result!

@sparky I'm confused. Is this a different comp?
Disgraced Saracens fall to shock defeat against Ealing
NIK SIMON AT TRAILFINDERS SPORTS CLUB: Ealing Trailfinders had not played a competitive match for 323 days, but the ambitious side seized their moment in the spotlight.

No that's from January, and those were a trio of warm up games Saracens paid for. This the first week of the Championship.
What an excellent result, the long term benefactor of the Pirates has a good rant at RFU, too. This was from just before the match

With funding slashed for second-tier clubs and the prospect of a ringfenced Premership the Cornish Pirates’ owner, Dicky Evans, has sound words for governing body
It was Pirran's day on the 5th Oggy Oggy Oggy Oii Oii Oii!

Saracens better hope that ring fencing of the Second Division applies as they are currently in danger of relegation thanks to the eleventh placed position out of twelve after their 25 - 17 loss to the Cornish Pirates!!

Oh FFS.
Nothing against the Jaguares, great team, but the Pro 14 looks hell bent on re-enacting the mistakes made by Super Rugby. Limitless expansion, more and more countries involved, fewer local derbies, rising supporter apathy, you know the rest.

@gibbonrib Whats your thoughts on it, if any?
I think there may be similarities to the transition of NPC to Super. I think we were all once hardcore NPC fans & that has now seriously diminished. However, if super rugby was to die & NPC players had the All Blacks back in it, it would take less than 30 seconds for all of us to revert back to being passionate NPC fans.
Is there parallels here with Wales?
