Aviva Premiership 17/18 - Round 1

That pervades all of their coverage though.

 

[Which Tyler]

Fully agree that BT do some annoying **** (and that interrupting the match to advertise rugby tonight HAS to go - we're not American!)

However, they're still an order of magnitude above any other rugby broadcaster

 

[ratsapprentice]

Obano played well.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I was just about to say how much I was enjoying the commentary, so so much better than sky sports.

Controversial but I really like Austin on comms, a good analyst and surprisingly unbiased commentating on Leicester despite his obvious allegiance, compared to someone like Flatman who is a nightmare when he covers bath.


That mid game Foden video ad was terrible, agree on that

Ref "don't change 8" then he changes wins penalty.

 

[NDC89]

Cook has had a good game I thought, especially kicking wise.

I'm no mauling expert, but didn't they break off making it a separate maul?

He had one of his good ones, let's hope he's back to his purple patch of 14/15, not... all his other seasons

Good to see him looking back towards his best.
I remember his season with London Welsh, and then his first full one at bath after, he looked like he'd be the next big thing at 9 for England

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I'm no mailing expert, but didn't they break off making it a separate maul?

No.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hahaha, Leicester really really don't want to score do they?!

Was that Watson who crunched someone on the 22? Was a big bosh


May finally goes over, third times a charm

 

[Which Tyler]

No.

Then should have been penalty against Faletau

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Then should have been penalty against Faletau

It should of.

But Kahn YC was soft so swings and roundabouts

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

How many high tackles by Bath today?

 

[NDC89]

How can you make 30m in attack and advantage not be over? Ridiculous

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Joe Ford hasn't come on yet..............

Almost made it in the pro 12 = Absolute DOMinator in the prem! That open side has skillz!

 

[Which Tyler]

TFFT

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Only four things in life are certain:
Death, taxes, George Ford missing kicks, Tigers hookers inability to throw into the lineout


Bet on Bath winning that, though, so netted £55

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Happier than I was with that.

Think having a back line that has hardly played with each other didn't help.

Forwards improved once Thacker and Williams came on.

No injuries I think.

I feel we can build on that second half.

 

[curtbob7]

Thought we gifted that to Bath. One try given on a plate by us. Another came from a penalty that wasn't a penalty. We made too many errors at set piece and butchered chances.

I'm not saying we were any good at all but my word Bath were lucky.

 

[Abraxaz]

Bannas didn't look too happy with the ref at the end of that.

Looks like this season will be outstanding if this weekend is to be continued.
