Ashton defence has improved so much.

Burrell made a brilliant pass.

Great try

Saracens just don't look like they can chase this match.

Reckon saints have scored the winning try.
 
very nice try again from the Saints. Excellent initiative there with the grubber, takes balls to attempt that in a final trailing a game.
 
Considering how good he was in the Northampton - Leicester semi-final, JP Doyle not up to the same standards this game. Lucky the video ref has come in there.
 
The refs word is final....................until the TMO decides otherwise!!!

Quite correct decision if reached in a very non-rugby way!!
 
That the right decision has been made? Really?

Also, shouldn;t that have technically been advantage over?

No problem with the call. It was forward.

The timing of the intervention is what I'm referring to... The whole world saw it was forward, yet the TMO only sees fit to intervene nearly 2 mins after the try is given.
 
Nah if it was a knock on yes but penalty advantage can go on much longer than that did.

Seen it the other way round a lot of times, two that come to mind - England vs Wales 2012 and Scotland vs England 2012. Advantage was played until the went over the line, try not given, advantage therefore played to its maximum (or so people said post match). Although he might have just considered that they lost advantage at the forward pass which would be a bit different and still make sense.

I thought it was when he gave the forward pass. As that was when the broken play was.
