Aviva Premiership Final 2015 Bath V Saracens

[ZeroTwo]

Got to find a way of getting your centres into the game more. Joseph has been largely MIA.

Feel sorry for the Bath backs atm- they will get a bad rap, when in reality they are playing off a poorly performing pack (they dug them out of a hole last week). If Ford has any sense he will sub off Burgess and Hooper- now is not the time for sentiment.

Loosing Watson hasn't helped either Devoto hasn't really inspired.

How on earth is David Strettle not in the England RWC Squad?

He is

Also sad to see Hargreaves go like that. Captain deserves to lead his team at a point like this. However, pretty sure he's forgotten his own name and deserves a nice long concussion break.

So how are the promising guys doing ? I'm hoping that Itoje will have a big game, same with Burgess and George.

George has really impressed really putting case to be on the bench come the RWC

Itoje been a bit underwhelming but he's now in second row so much less on show. Goode has been really good with some brilliant kicks.

Burgess telling the ref what is happening in the scrum lol

 

[ZeroTwo]

Completely wrong option by Joseph there, men outside and he comes back in straight into Itoje. Could have been a break on.

He's already had long enough to have learnt more than most refs tbf.

Why did we let James play a further 7 mins?

There you good riddance to Paul James

 

[yaboyjj]

Why oh why do they not start Auterac.

Made a good hit just there, hope he doesn't make a habit of it...

Bath are doing this weird thing where a large chunk of the players gather within 2 meters of the carrier and do silly little pop passes before plodding right into the highest concentration of Sarries defenders they can find. Everyone is taking the ball static. Why the hell aren't we moving the ball wide faster, the Sarries rush defence is leaving a huge gap at the end that Bath could exploit but aren't.

Because the Sarries are rushing. You can't get your sliders around and the ball wide.

 

[Jbobo]

Dubious decision by the ref there Thought the bath player was holding on.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

See what happens when james isn't playing!!!!!!

Although Wales should start him.

 

[ZeroTwo]

Good try, well worked. Think there were two opportunities to go wide earlier though where there was a big overlap.

 

[ncurd]

Joseph you can not keep that man quiet!

I agree Jbobo but it's the first one of those Barnes has given Baths way.
