Wayne Barnes in charge of Sale vs Tigers, so me and @Tigs Man can't even blame the ref when one of the teams loses

Do we know broadcasting yet?
Sale v Leicester looks like the one to watch for any neutrals - the only match where both teams have anything to play for.

Falcons/Wasps

Touch Judges are JP Doyle aswell and Tom Foley. Sean Davey is TMO.

So I mean we can blame Foley.

Barnes and Doyle both reffing the same game...tell the players not to turn up, that's all I'm interested in.


Seems pretty crazy to have the two best refs in the league in one game - would've thought they'd want Doyle in charge of one himself.

As said this is really the only one with something to play for, gives some other guys game time in charge.

Wonder If Tigers put in an complaint against Pearce?

Wasps should beat falcons puttings top 4 as chiefs sarries wasps falcons. Can see Gloucester beating sarries as the game means nothing to sarries and they will rest alot of their players, mako needs one and though billy needs game tike hes injured again...hopfully not the new manu.

In a strange way I agree with you, though I wouldn't be surprised if we had one eye on the Challenge Cup final and took an absolute hiding.

I picked us to beat Bath last week and that didn't work out too well..................................

Aye, I imagine that's what edged him over Leota

Potentially his last game as well though

White privilege.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

The skills from Macginty

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Addison doing his hamstring 6mins into his finale is pretty fitting to be honest, considering his history.

Gutting for him though, so many injuries

 

[ratsapprentice]

Good to see Butler getting a couple of tries... decent at age grade.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Going quite well for Barf then

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What a messy game,
It's like of those "England legends vs rest of the world legends" charity games
