The 2024-25 Gallagher Premiership season kicks off with Bath facing champions Northampton Saints, amidst a backdrop of a new financial deal ensuring clubs receive £33m annually from the Rugby Football Union. Predictions from the Grosvenor Sport SuperComputer suggest Northampton will top the league again, with Saracens and Bath also expected to perform strongly. On the other hand, teams like Gloucester and Newcastle Falcons face relegation threats based on their previous performances. Notable players to watch include Bath's Finn Russell and newcomer Guy Pepper, who impressed last season with a record number of tackles. Meanwhile, Kent State's football team, struggling under coach Kenni Burns with a poor record, hopes to find momentum against Penn State, highlighting players like Devin Kargman and Luke Floriea. The Premier Invitational football tournament in Australia will also showcase emerging talents across 500 teams, promising exciting matches ahead.
