Premiership Rugby 19/20 - Rd 22

I thought penalty tries had a yellow attached to them these days?

I think only if they can identify the offending player.

Oh **** oh **** oh **** oh ****

Don't worry. Ultimate irony is Sale have another positive test and this whole thing was basically for nothing.

Edit: Wonder if this will get me banned by Olyy?

Game won't go ahead anyway, Worcester will refuse to play like they did today - understandable from them, but makes the playoffs a bit of a joke

 

[Reiser99]

Well with Saints forfeiting Worcester have got nothing to play for. Probably not worth playing and risking an injury with another pretty intense period of rugby to follow.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Aye, exactly

 

[Reiser99]

Sam Bedlow just handing Bristol the bonus point on a plate? Worst crossfield kick I've seen for a while.

 

[Reiser99]

Yep, saved Malins there.

 

[Reiser99]

Meanwhile 17-17. Game on.

Lol I looked at Bristol's 23, not Irish's. James Stokes I meant.

 

[Reiser99]

Well, over to Sale now. First they've got to play the game, then any win will do. Then BP if they want Wasps over Exeter...

 

[Which Tyler]

So it all hinges on who forfeits midweek

 

[FLOBALOB]

Do we know which semi final is supposed to be played on sat and which one on sun. 1v4 & 2v3 ?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Chiefs on Saturday Wasps on Sunday, according to ultimate rugby

Not much time for SAle to prepare ,assuming they end up in 4th.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Let's gooooooooooo

 

[Yulia]

Let's gooooooooooo

And where's Oosthuizen?)) I don't know why but I remember this Sale player

 

[TRF_Olyy]

And where's Oosthuizen?)) I don't know why but I remember this Sale player

From the side named it looks like the plague boys are:
Langdon, Akker, Oosthuizen, Philips, Faf, Rohan, Hammersley, JCW, WGJ, AJ, Warr, Quirke, Rodd, Reed, Roebuck (+ I'm guessing Wiese)

Would have been nice to have seen a teamsheet on Saturday when everyone else posted one, rather than a "we could publish a teamsheet, honest... just trust us on this".

Ultimately though, it doesn't really matter, Sale should win, and should win with a TBP. Reaching the SFs because someone else fell foul of a pandemic would have the very definition of a hollow victory - I'd far rather these things were sorted out on the pitch. It's Worcester I feel sorry for - they still had something to play for, before Saints forfeited
