Aviva Premiership 15/16 - Round 7

[Crapspray]

Same goes for Afoa who is decent, but nowhere near the worth of his salary.

To be fair to Gloucester, both were panic signings after their scrum went to bits two seasons ago. But you're right: £400,000 a year for an about-average tighthead isn't really value for money.

Did Laidlaw have a Scotland flag on his kit or is that my imagination?!

Represents international caps. Bath do it too.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Certain teams get their kit manufacturer to print a small flag of the country each player is capped for in the middle of the chest - Bath have always done it, and I guess Glos/X-Blades are now, too.


What is certain, re: the back row, however - is just how important genuinely dynamic carrying ability is across the back row.

Bath have really struggled without it, as have Saints and Wasps today without Hughes.

Jeremy Thrush has been a great signing for Gloucester

(I initially wrote "Thrush has been a great acquisition for the Glaws pack", but that sounds....dodgy!)




Another cheeky try for Gloucester!
They may not be playing like the sum of their parts, but you can't give their backs even the sniff of a gap as their individual talent is still there.

Well that's a kick in the teeth for Quins. Entertaining game this one.

Great game

To be fair, Thrush always adds something special to every engagement.

Awesome game

Really entertaining match this one...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wow wow wee wah!
That was a belter!


Roberts/Lowe is one hell of a centre partnership, I can't wait to see how they improve as they get used to each other more.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Trinder!

This game is amazing, but that is heart breaking for Trinder. Hopefully that's a pull rather than a tear, but it doesn't look good

 

[Ddanno]

Kvesic looking really sharp, would be mighty surprised if he doesn't get the nod for February.

This games has more ups and downs than a fiddlers elbow.

Up and down like a whore's knickers, as my cockney Grandad used to say.

Kyle "the Fridge" Sinckler

How ****ing dare you.
There's only one Fridge, and it's a certain...Fridge shaped Welsh prop:

 

[ratsapprentice]

Nah... Doesn't have the wit of my one.

 

[ZeroTwo]

Hahaha!

Well it's more unstable than my ex girlfriend, that's for sure.

You. Must. Be. Kidding. Me.

Someone tell me he's eligible for England and 18 years old?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Nah... Doesn't have the wit of my one.

Yeah, and your club doesn't have the history of ours.
N00bs.

 

[ratsapprentice]

I must admit, your history of paltry crowds is impressive.

Scrum is getting Frigid...

Bath: Are you even trying?
