PREM(iership) Rugby 25/26 Round 1

[Rinkadink]

I spend considerably more money watching Bath than any other prem team now days.

That's rather unfortunate. I'm sorry.

Mind you, that's probably only down to the overpriced tickets?

 

[Rinkadink]

I'll never understand leaving early

I don't do it but there are plenty of valid reasons. Can avoid traffic or if you have another commitment and the result is certain, as examples.

Wasps fan really but you know… I live in the south East, nearest clubs are London so don’t make too much effort but I visit my family in Bath several times a year and we tend to go if they are playing, the only other fixture I frequently do is Sarries vs Quins at spurs ground that’s a good day out and go with a big group.

At least they won't be felating Russell

Oh gods, I've just realised... In a few weeks, they'll have Russell AND Arundell AND Du Toit AND Carerras to felate.
Simultaneously...

It's going to be NSFW when Doyle gets to present that lot

 

[Rinkadink]

but I visit my family

Well, I would obviously say this but the extra 6 miles west is totally worth it. You'll have an actual stadium and even stay dry (mostly) plus not have to use portable toilets or worse. Bonus is you'll save a few bob in the process.

Anyway... Just started catching up with the other game. How is that awful tackle only a 20 minute red? What are the new rules regarding that in the PREM this year? Are all reds only 20? Seems ridiculous.

 

[Geordie]

God the media are going to be insufferable about this

Did Arundel score?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Did Arundel score?

Two walk ins

 

[Rinkadink]

Two walk ins

One he made hard work of as well. Would have been on the edge of my seat as a barfer.

Yeah that shouldn't be 20 mins should be a full game.

Saracens were professional and physical. We matched them physically for the most part but were so predicable in attack and just fell away completely in the second half.

We will have to fix our attack...Connon may have to be replaced at 10.

Might try and fit both if I ever feel flush Friday and Saturday, one family member is a Bath fan one a bris, it’s usually some pretty good banter and the looser having to wear the other jersey. I was pretty annoyed with Baths selection last year with the team they put out for the Cardiff game, I get why they did it but still, could have been so much better.

A word for MOjo's pass to put Arundell in for his 1st...


Woof

Also the timing and placement on his pass for the Arundell chip & collect deserves a mention.
Cips or Russell making those passes and TNT would have needed a change of underwear.

Showing that vision and execution would have done his England chances no harm whatsoever (how has Slade still got a central contract?)
Of course, he'll be up against George Ford next week - so might be back down to earth with a bump


ETA:

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

That long pass from Ojomoh was sensational!!! Even better than anything Finn Russell has done.

 

[Rinkadink]

Ojomoh played well all round last night, barring a missed a penalty kick to touch and a couple of other bits. Overall quite impressive, wouldn't even say a step down from FR's average over a season.

 

[Geordie]

Yes saw this...hhmm Sarries whiter than white eh...

And before anyone says anything I have got a sense of humour..

 

[Vaquer]

Why do Newcastle play on artificial turf?

 

[Ddanno]

We back

25/9/2025 - Sale vs Gloucester
26/9/2025 - Harlequins vs Bath
26/9/2025 - Newcastle F...Red Bulls vs Saracens
28/9/2025 - Northampton vs Exeter
28/9/2025 - Bristol vs Leicester

No game Saturday, presumably due to the Women's World Cup Final

New phone who this
