PREM(iership) Rugby 25/26 Round 1

[TRF_Olyy]

Sheesh, that didn't take long

 

[Scotty]

Saints not competing at the breakdown let us play going again and again till the gap opened up.

Great take my IFW

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Is this Chiefs first choice backrow?
Seems pretty unbalanced to me, on the flanks - but I guess Vintcent is way more dynamic than a traditional 8

Roots out, Fisilau starting pre game. But we dont really have anything fetchers tbh.

Think it’ll be 6. Hooper 7. Roots 8. Fisilau when all are fit and available.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Possible knock on from McParland? But possible PT cause that PBB tackle looked high live?

Edit: No to both, on replays

 

[TRF_Olyy]

These Saints line breaks are so slick

 

[Gavin]

Belleau is fantastic. Almost seems like a waste to have him in the same squad as Finn Smith.

Having one of them on the bench when not during the international window is wasteful.

 

[Scotty]

Take nothing at all away from the saints they played v well and have a deserved lead, but how many missed 1 on 1 tackles, how many pens or knock ons when we are in a position to build something and how many times do we go wide where we have no support and are lucky that we arnt against a team that attacks the breakdown.

 

[Scotty]

That was nice but our attack does have very little deception.

Big ol' noggin on that Saints #19
Think most of that 23 stone is in there

I thought he was a prop running on, then first scrum he packs down in the second row

I like the he arrived at 150kg. And now he's slimmed down to 145 haha.

Well, there aren't many wild buffalo to eat whole in the East Midlands

 

[Scotty]

This is more like it!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Some game, this

Thought it was going to be Chiefs vs Gloucester mk2

 

[TRF_Olyy]

On one leg!

 

[Gavin]

Wild second half

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yellow maybe?
He's not fully upright so it's not always illegal,
Could he lower but the step makes it worse

Lots of force though, so might bring it back up

The force is what did it i think, not malicious and the player stepped back inside(every right to do so), while it happened with alot of speed

Right decision made overall I think but a shame.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What a game

 

[Scotty]

What are the odds on this result if you put a bet on at half time? I'll take it!

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

So stopped watching after the first half as had kid admin….now it’s a draw.

What the hell.

Cause you stopped watching

@SaintsRugby 33-33 @ExeterChiefs

NO Scorigami

This is the 4th instance of this score.

First Game: 28/3/99 West Hartlepool 33-33 Sale
Last Game: 7/3/15 Gloucester 33-33 Northampton

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Don’t feel Tigers will win this game, missing too many players and not had the time to bed in

 

[Scotty]

How are our top carriers hodge and Skinner? Together they weight less than Saints 19! Hodge needs to pass not carry

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Early tackle, surely?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Christ, 12 mins and AJ looks like his season is done
