The Champions Cup returns, but are Prem rugby’s attendances becoming a concern? Ben Jaycock and Paul Williams discuss the big talking points, from the Welsh regions’ early-season form to England v Canada.

The latest edition of The Rugby Paper Roundup features hosts Ben Jaycock and Paul Williams analyzing key rugby developments, including the return of the Champions Cup and attendance concerns across Premiership Rugby. Despite high-scoring matches such as Northampton Saints and Bath combining for 119 points, crowd numbers at Saracens and Exeter Chiefs remain a primary point of discussion.
The show also previews several European fixtures, questioning whether Northampton can defend their title against challengers like Bordeaux, Toulouse, and Leinster. Additionally, the hosts examine early-season form among Welsh regions such as the Ospreys, Scarlets, and Dragons, alongside the upcoming women's international clash between England and Canada following their recent 26-26 draw.
