Aviva Premiership 2017/18 Round 18

[kilkenny1]

Big win for Sale, comfortable for Falcons, tight win for Chiefs.
Undecided on Sarries, Quins have their strongest team out for months and Sarries have maybe 7 first teamers out. Home win but no clue by how many.
Irish/Glaws and Tigers/Wasps are too tough for me to call

I’m pleased the Premiership is back.

This weekend’s games are tough to call and they could all go either way. From a Glaws perspective we’ve got our strongest team out in a while. I hope it’s enough against an Irish side who will be motivated by a new coaching team.

Exeter attack is so dull. Just play keep ball with very little invention.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

We've just scored a worldie,
Multiple offloads that had no right to happen and then B.Curry runs it in from 30m out

Im a big Chiefs fan but i thought this abit, it wasnt terrible but very few little 'tip ons' to change the point of attack. Though keep ball does work for them. Bath looked so dangerous in parts though

Joe marchant for england 13!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Let me guess, He ran quickly in a straight line?

 

[ratsapprentice]

What is it with you and Marchant?

You seem to think he’s like May, in that he’s quick but that’s it?

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Stepped 4 in a row

 

[ratsapprentice]

Which is weird because he’s the opposite of that; he’s a well rounded play without any particularly outstanding quality.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

He's OK but I've not seen anything to warrant the amount of praise he gets
He's better now than he was at age grade when he really was just a flat track bully

I dunno... His feet are pretty ******* impressive, but I get what you mean

 

[ratsapprentice]

I’m talking to Olyy who’s always having a go at him because he thinks he **** but quick.

Yeah, if he doesn't like that then he must love having Yarde at Sale

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

At age grade i didn't think he was up to much, same with Mercer but both have proved me wrong and them some since the step up.

It happens, I wouldn’t have a problem with not really rating Marchant (although I’d disagree), the problem is that Olyy’s criticism of him is objectively wrong.

It’s a bit like criticising the Curry’s for just being bigger than their opponents.... or Haskell for being more smarter.

George is a grumpy little **** today isn't he... Who **** in his cornflakes?
