Aviva Premiership 17/18 - Round 7

We rarely get a result against Chiefs (barring, of course, the hammering we gave them at Sandy park a number of years ago) - couple that with it being televised (our Achilles heel) and I think we'll be in for a long night.

Luckily I'm turning 18 for the 10th time on Friday so won't be watching/getting my heart broken.

Big game at KP on Sunday. We're playing excellent stuff, but more so in the games we aren't playing well....we're still getting results. KP is already a full house sell out. Should be a good game, I hope

KP? Most boring game of the day mate

 

[Scotty]

Looking forward for the sale vs Chiefs game. I think it should be a good result for Chiefs though a tough game with sale at home. Havnt seen the de clerk, o connor partnership.

Need a BP win seen as sarries will get one.

Kingston Park. It'll be a cracker. Hopefully Leicester wont be able to cope like Bath couldn't...

Did Joe Ford play 12 last weekend when he went off?

Yeh.

If Smith or Owens is fit i expect one of them to start at 12 though.

Gonna be a cracker at KP. Sell out. Falcons biggest game in years IMO.

 

[Scotty]

Sale at the aj bell will be a tough ask for chiefs, resting woodburn (i hope rather than injured) give Short a chance but takes alot away from the team. Hes on form both in attack amd defence. And esoecially in the air.

Should be a good one.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Should be a good one.

Saying.....

 

[Which Tyler]

Shoulda, coulda, woulda

Should be a good one.

It was if you're called Henry Slade! I wasn't concentrating 100%, but everything I saw him do was good (or better). What did anyone make of the battle of the sevens? My impression was the Curry came out with more credit than Simmonds, but as I say, I wasn't glued to the game.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Diamond is ****** off.

Dont think thats true, simmonds had a good all round game.
Woodburn definitely came out with more credit than Solomona though.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Anyone have any info on the Yarde thing?

Clearly, he's off... apparently immediately.

What I want to know is what's caused it to become so awkward, so quickly.
I mean... someone has to have acted inappropriately for this to happen, surely?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

From what i gather he missed training last week, so was dropped from the game and promptly threw a hissy fit stopped turning up to training and requested a release.
Someone on the Quins forum posted an article where Eddie Jones said Yarde is a bit of a twat with a massive ego, So it seems in character.
