Premiership Rugby 21/22 - Rd 2

[TRF_Olyy]

Without TV cameras

TV cameras are there, though - the games are broadcast all around the world just not in the UK

Having one at 5 or 7 means you can televise an extra one, BT were showing college football on three channels yesterday afternoon, not like they'd have to break important scheduling or anything

Obviously it's not something they're interested in doing/that their contract with the Prem calls for, but it's frustrating as a rugby fan

.....good start

(Akker calf strain in captains run, Neild ill, Quirke failed late fitness test on last week's knee injury)

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Damn it Quirke was in my fantasy team....

Can I sue.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Lions would've gone 3-0 if Gatland had the balls to challenge the status quo and name MacGinty

 

[Geordie]

Nice try ..

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Seeing manu do well elsewhere will never not be painful for me

 

[Geordie]

The sad thing with Manu is that every time he makes a run I expect him to pull up with an injury....

 

[JG-21]

Wow AJ

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's not legal

 

[JG-21]

That's a nasty hit

High and he's flipped onto his neck

 

[Jimbo]

I do like the way Barnes goes through it.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I will say Manu looks crazy slim for him.
will be interesting to see if it changes anything come international level.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Love a cheeky scrum half try like that

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

What did AJ do?

How's that a HIA?
He was holding his shoulder FFS

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What did AJ do?

I reckon he popped his shoulder out and back in in the tip tackle
Arm swing on the kick pulled it

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

IMO 17 points down you should go for the try.

Even if it goes over it's still over 2 convert tries away

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Both senior flyhalves now out with shoulder injuries

Stop making them train with Rohan and Manu, maybe their joints would be a bit more sturdy

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Is it me or does Manu look gassed?
