Premiership Rugby 19/20 - Rd 17

Lavanini is a card just waiting to happen. Ref tells you to put the player down safely and you start lifting his legs up...
 
Youngs, Ford and Taufua making a huge difference for Tigers. Right now, I wouldn’t totally rule them out of getting something from this game.
 
For a good 30mins or the second half, Tigers reserves looked superior to Gloucester’s first XV. Yes, that was largely down to the introduction of Youngs, Ford and Taufua, but with the exception of Lavanini, the other 11 players were kids and reserves.

Could end up being really useful for Borthwick - a good example for the first team of what’s possible.
 
What was Young's injury?
Taylor's was a bit of a freak/accident, and I don't think Sopoaga has played much has he?
Youngs with a failed HIA
Didn't see what hurt Sopo.
Taylor just horrendous luck


There's been some gorgeous play though.
Jack Willis really earning his plaudits
 
Bringing on a back for a frontrower seems unfair - uncontested scrums and an extra back to fling it around


Edit: fair play, prop at hooker. Gonna be some power in that shove

Double edit: Maybe not
