I. Hate Sarracens. So. Much.

Understand and agree........Wasps deserved to win that but feel they let it go rather than Sarries winning it! Wade scored two and "gave" two!

Penalty that lead to Saracens' try was from someone going off their feet... again.

Sale 20 - 29 Bath
(Jennings, Easter - Watson, Rokoduguni)

Scrum f**ked us. Why the hell did we sign a top class loosehead to then play him at tighthead? As soon as Di Marchi went to the tighthead we started giving away penalties and freekicks at every scrum. We had some really great field position when we were 6pts down. Got a scrum....free kick to Bath. Few phases later: Scrum penalty to Bath, Ford kicks it to put them 9 ahead.

Very annoyed, that was a winnable game. It's really taken the shine off of anything good that we did.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Very happy and relieved with that - could easily have gone the other way.

Come on the Irish

Hat trick for Goneva so far well my fantasy is going to do well.


Tigers TBP.

Got him in mine, too. Result!





hahahahahahahahahah amazing!
For Tigers try just then, the number 8 literally put the ball BETWEEN his feet at the base of the scrum and bunny hopped forwards as the scrum went over the line, then Mele dives between his legs and dots it down before he gets a chance and robs his try! :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Mele is a very cheeky Frenchman a great guy, but he looks to do that loads of the time.

Are the 'Quins playing in a special one off shirt, like Wasps were, or are these awful things their new away strip?

 

[Peat]

Tom Homer off injured after six minutes, that's super harsh on the lad. Excited to see Fowlie though.

I love Quins' footwork.

Their away kit.

Wasps shirt is actually their away kit - the only thing that is "special" about them is the sponsorship (they haven't announced their new sponsors, although they are believed to be Jaguar/Land Rover).

That guy Sinckler. Love him.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I like the kit.


Not Ojo's game, so far - OLH quite easily got the better of him on the wing then.

 

[Tony Manx]

Their away kit. .

Looks like one London Broncos should be wearing!!!

 

[ratsapprentice]

Nice new screens at Twickenham? Or have I just not noticed them before?

Will be interesting to see their new floodlights too.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Very harsh yellow - he hit his chest :huh:
That's a penalty, nothing more.

Quins with no props on the pitch now!

 

[ratsapprentice]

Yup.

 

[Wendigo7]

Ford pushing for an England starting spot. Of the 10s around, he's probably the best of the group.

 

[TacklingMachine]

Just pretend that didn't happen :mellow:

He played well last season but struggled in the big games, tbh unless he performs well in those types of games I'm wouldn't be to confident in the RWC with him at 10.
