So whose going to win it.

Honestly who cares first final in 10 years that doesn't matter

I'm going Saracens.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I hope neither of them win

Saints will be insufferable if they win two trophies, and I really don't to see Borthwick lifting it.

 

[Tony Manx]

Come on Saints..................about time that you did it for the supporters and for Piggy and may the Crooked Hooker be buzzing!!

 

[Big Ewis]

guess who's here to keep you company, you darn rosbifs.

A good final to you all.

Sarries for me.

Vunipolo shouldn't be on that pitch. He can barely walk.

 

[Big Ewis]

both teams seem a little rusty. This game'll open up as soon as a try is scored.

Penalties are killing the Saints and the last two have been very marginal indeed........................

Hopefully Ashton looking good again.

Penalties costing saints

 

[Jaguares]

I'm not sure which team I would support. I just hope it's a good game.

 

[Aristodemus]

Lawes is having a great game

Edit: What a try!

 

[Tony Manx]

Lawes is having a great game

Outshone by Dickinson though.....great try!!

[goodNumber10]

Laws should have been done for a dangerous challenge on that pisi run.

Great try.

 

[Big Ewis]

woohoo, nice try !!!

 

[big ginger 8]

Lovely try, and that break!

 

[Tony Manx]

Forget "French" flair....it is alive and well in Northampton!!!!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Burrell is playing very well reckon england need to try him at 12.

 

[Big Ewis]

Forget "French" flair....it is alive and well in Northampton!!!!

....Tony, please, that was a nice try, but don't ever write a comment like that, just, please...

 

[Tony Manx]

....Tony, please, that was a nice try, but don't ever write a comment like that, just, please...

...........do keep up, it was about the wonderful handling in the break following the restart more than just the try!!!!

...........do keep up, it was about the wonderful handling in the break following the restart more than just the try!!!!

yes yes, I accounted for that in my remark. That play lasted 2.5 seconds but it was very pretty.
Say, Corbs seems to be suffering from "tall scrummager" syndrome. A little bit like Andrew Sheridan, who was a very powerful scrummager but just so tall he had lots of difficulty positioning himself and getting enough stability to exercise all his pushing ability. Long legs from both guys, hard to lock yourself in position.
But Corbs looks downright illegal tonight.

...........................tonight.

It is mid afternoon!!
