message: I've not got a massive depth of rugby knowledge, but I've heard there's a salary cap in this league that isn't mentioned in the article.  As lots of players seem to be leaving due to the salary cap (more money in France), wouldn't it be a relevant thing to mention?  Sorry I can't do it myself - don't know enough about the topic.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.93.201 (talk) 08:25, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with File:Aviva Premiership Rugby Logo.png

message: It says in that the current holders of the Aviva Premiership title are Saracens, which is true, but it says that the season they are holding the trophy for is "2011-12", surely they are the holders of 2010-11 and this is incorrect, as the season they won the trophy in was 2010-11? Or does it mean that they will be holders of the trophy for the 2011-12 season? Thanks. SAULGNRFAN (talk) 14:07, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Holders 

message: :English Premiership (rugby union) → .
Reasons for this:
* Premiership Rugby is the proper name of the competition:  whilst no source other than here calls it English Premiership (rugby union)
* Whilst there are other competitions that call themselves Premierships such as the Scottish and Welsh versions these are all known by their national names i.e. Scottish Premiership and when googling "Premiership Rugby" I can only find one reference to each of the above competitions on the first 7 pages of results.  A hat note towards those competitions should suffice as the vast majority of people looking for Premiership Rugby will be looking for this page.Skeene88 (talk) 10:32, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Should we lock this page? 

message: Hello all.  I have decided to keep the asterix's that keep getting added to Saracens alongside a factual note of the circumstances surrounding it.  I think this is a fair and accurate way to portray this information without unduly favouring one view or the other.  Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Skeene88 (talk) 13:57, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd say there's no need for a note now as they are factually recognised as champions then and now. One should not be added until such time as the titles are stripped from them by PR or the RFU if it ever occurs .  The C of E   God Save the Queen! (talk) 15:16, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Equally though they were found to be in breach of the cap in those seasons and to not say it there means someone looking up the number of titles won wouldn't see it at all, if the titles are stripped they will be removed all together from that table because they would no longer be anyone's and the note would need to be added to the list of finals above.  I will leave the asterix's off the table for now pending any further comments and revert anyone that adds them back in, directing them to here.Skeene88 (talk) 19:42, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sponsorship details. 

message: In the history section there are two references to clubs playing so-called "traditional" games, the 2nd reference bemoaning that such games were sometimes no longer possible when a fixture list was introduced. I feel it would be helpful to include a short explanation as to what is meant by this, since none of the pages for Rugby union, English rugby union system or History of the English rugby union system make any reference to these games or how they differed from games played according to a fixture list.  2A00:23C4:4A9C:8C01:1677:E6E9:265A:E261 (talk) 21:07, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

message: Premiership rugby is no longer on NBC Sports, which is itself apparently being phased out. (One of the two NBC Sports channels in the Washington D.C. area has recently gone dark, the one that carried coverage of the Premiership, European Championship, Six Nations,sevens tour and the most recent B&I Lions tour.)
Premiership rugby, sevens, and, currently, the Womens' World Cup have moved to Peacock Prime, another NBC platform. Toyokuni3 (talk) 20:34, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
