England's Guinness Premiership clubs have been back in training since early July for a new season that culminates with the Lions tour of South Africa. All 12 sent teams to the Middlesex Sevens, won by Harlequins, but have had several full-scale matches ahead of the Premiership kick-off on 6 September. Some have headed to France for matches, while others have faced Scottish, Irish, Welsh and Australian opposition. See how your club has been preparing in the countdown to the new campaign.
