Magners League rugby returns this weekend. The Ospreys visit Ulster on Friday, the Dragons, Blues and Scarlets kick off on Saturday against Connacht (a), Edinburgh (h) and Treviso (a) respectively.
There'll be much build-up in mainstream media such as the Western Mail and South Wales Evening Post but it's increasingly worth checking out online coverage.
The Rugby Blog is a case in point. It's run by forward-thinking company Front5 and is fast gaining credibility in oval-ball circles.
Its Magners club-by-club guide is already online, penned by Matt Kellett and predicting a final table of: 1 Leinster, 2 Blues, 3 Ospreys, 4 Munster, 5 Glasgow, 6 Edinburgh, 7 Ulster, 8 Dragons, 9 Scarlets, 10 Connacht, 11 Treviso, 12 Aironi.
Choice comments include:
Blues Dan Parks, from Glasgow, could prove to be the best signing of the summer.
Dragons Wing Aled Brew needs to be a key player if the Dragons are to finally push for a top-half finish.
Ospreys If they can navigate their way through the long season to the top four, they’ll have what it takes to claim back-to-back titles.
Scarlets Centre Regan King has become one of the best players in the league and is the heartbeat of this team. Can he lift the team into the top half?
Whether you use traditional media or the online variety - or both - enjoy the ride!
