We're delighted to announce the winner of our October draw competition as Richard Turpin. Richard wins a fantastic weekend away in Paris for France vs England. Some great rugby hospitality!

For November we have two tickets to the highly anticipated six nations clash of England vs Wales. All you have to do is make your booking one for any of the events listed on VU's calendar before the end of November.

England themselves are hoping for some luck as Martin Johnson finds that eleven players in his original squad are on the injured list. He will therefore hold of announcing the final 22 until mid-week. Players like Richard Blaze and Mike Tindall look doubtful leaving Johnson with a squad headache.

However Johnson still believes he can put a squad together that can challenge the Wallabies and with a fully fit Jonny Wilkinson to use we can still give Australia a run for their money.

After the excitement of the Heineken Cup last weekend it's back to the Guinness Premiership and this weekend sees Saracens holding on to the top spot with only one point between themselves and the London Irish. The second place team find themselves hosting the fifth placed Leicester tomorrow afternoon.

Wasps and Northampton continue to remain in contention in third and fourth respectively, while Bath languish in eighth.

The question remains how long the ambitious Saracens can stay at the top. Back row Michael Owen has now ruled himself out of the rest of the season with a knee ligament injury picked up in the European Challenge Cup. The pressure will undoubtedly be on for Saracens as they face Leeds Carnegie, who, despite being twelfth will arguably have nothing to lose.

Remember you can drop us a line if you fancy attending a Guinness Premiership game in style, we offer the best in rugby hospitality and in our anniversary year the best got better with our special offers!

Three weeks into the new season and we've already seen some great rugby and impressive performances. Both Saracens and Wasps seem determined to battle it out at the top of the table and are both on three wins out of three.

However injuries have begun to rack up for international players. Jordan Turner-Hall is the latest player to go on the injured list with surgery needed for his shoulder. He joins Riki Flutey who Turner-Hall was expected to replace, also out with a bad shoulder.

As well as them, on the list are Toby Flood and Sam Flutey from Leicester and Delon Armitage, whose shoulder is dislocated.

All of this will be worrying news for England as they prepare for the Autumn Internationals against Australia, New Zealand and Argentina. It's a shame to see such promising players fall out of crucial positions, but it will be up to the resolve of the England team to see them persevere.
