Aviva Premiership 17/18 - Round 3

[HenryChinaski]

Commentators waxing lyrical about Yardes defence there even though he was the one who screwed up the defensive line in the first place to create the space.

Plus Watson didn't need help with dropping the ball...

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

i know they were 5m from their own line... so sympathy or soem bs

but i'd really like to see the SH obstruction on scrums called more

 

[HenryChinaski]

How has that been ruled forward?

 

[ratsapprentice]

Merchant starting to express his power

 

[ratsapprentice]

Very excited about Smith, half backs normally look awful whilst still in age grade.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

that should be a wasps fk

 

[HenryChinaski]

Referee not on top of this.

 

[HenryChinaski]

One of the best premiership games I've seen in a while.

I feel like we're close to scoring a lot of points and could pull away.

Quins playing right on the edge

 

[ratsapprentice]

Robson needs to bite the bullet.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

yeah this is a great advertisement for premiership rugby

i know wasps get **** for being a franchise but their crowd makes the game feel heavier

 

[ratsapprentice]

I don't think anyone would care if someone invented a team and plonked them into a big stadium, filling it with decent crowds. It's the disingenuous nature of the Wasps identity.

I've called for that to happen before.

Apparently Falcons made £6m off the game, which is 2-3x as much as a full house at home would have netted them. Saracens significantly more than that as well.

Can only be considered a massive failure if that's the case, then - whoever fronted the cash for that is going think twice before hosting rugby in America again.

6million of one game? Are you joking? That's nearly their revenue for one year?

What i saw some falcons fans saying, no idea how much truth there is in it.
Apparently it's funding their stand redevelopment at KP, so must be a fair chunk.

 

[ratsapprentice]

**** knows it needs developing

 

[ratsapprentice]

Walked back 10m for chatback. Good effort.

 

[ratsapprentice]

I do think the game needs to crack down on these physio breaks.

 

[HenryChinaski]

I do think the game needs to crack down on these physio breaks.

Agree, really kills things at times.
Oh yeah, and HIAs seemingly conducted on the field to slow down the game

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

i wish Loz would be banned from commentating Wasps games.

 

[HenryChinaski]

How is the touch judge missing that it came off care into touch?

 

[ratsapprentice]

That was very nearly a freakish try.
