Aviva Premiership 16/17 - Round 3

[Every Time Ref]

With James now off who will be 10 replacement?

Phillips apparenty

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Addison for Ireland 10 ATM.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Why didn't Sale pick a back 10 Olyy - injuries?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Sale are going to have a tough couple of weeks if Mugford, James and Aj are out.

Academy 10 took a knock in the A league.




P.s. I hate rugby

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

sale are goign to have to look for another championship 10 ATM for a short term fix.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Maybe we could get Tommy Bell back - think he's done as many rounds in the championship as he did before Tigers signed him last time

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Difference is Jersey isn't London Irish.

Although he wants to be an AP 10 and this would be his best chance.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Yet another Bath back rower injured, we can't take any more injuries there. Also I swear Worcester are getting away with half blocks here, lots of Worcester runners going into the Bath defence and physically stopping them moving up whilst Worcester players move behind.

The quality of British commentary is absolutely ****ing woeful.

The dude commentating on the Bath/Worcester game is making me want to turn it off.

Sweet jesus they turn the sport into a chore.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

This feels like Bath of last season, everything is laboured and forced. Our ability to retain our own ball is **** poor.

Just saw the score, what the hell is going on?

Chiefs enjoying themselves. Lachie Turner, Slade (at 12) and LCD looking very good so far. Brown looks slow and awkward.

Bath are giving Worcester free reign with the ball and making minimal effort to slow it down or turn it over. On the flip side when we have the ball our breakdown work is terrible and Worcester are frequently slowing it down or getting turn overs. Bath just don't look like they can be bothered. Now on the restart we immediately knock on -.-

And Homer just got hit catching the ball and half the Worcester team were between Homer and the first Bath player back. Absolutely disgraceful how little effort Bath players are putting into this game compared to Worcester.

Where's better?
Watched Australia vs Argentina earlier and the commentary was embarrassing

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

nice work by banners to catch that

clearly offside IMO.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Not sure how that wasn't clear and obvious, they were both pretty clearly in front of ford when the ball touched his boot

I think offside but then again I thought for the Roko effort he was tackled early so balances out.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Kiwi stuff is pretty good.

To be specific it's the guys who sound like they're professional commentators that **** me off. It's like having an estate agent tonging your ear - Eykin is a prime example.

Scotty Stevenson, for example sounds basically like a guy who's enjoying the game, rather than a guy who's been hired to tell you how exciting it is.

I can see why people might not like Sumo, but he's a good example of the opposite of what I'm talking about (as is Mullins, to an extent).

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

this sarries Saints game is getting proper tasty Waller to me needs to go off.

loz is talking rubbish.

Not sure how that wasn't clear and obvious, they were both pretty clearly in front of ford when the ball touched his boot

I know i thought i was going crazy.
