3, @USARugbyFan decided to support Sale...

Presumably because he hasn't watched them yet

Tigers just set up a webcam in the waiting room of Leicester Royal Infirmary so their fans can watch a live stream of their players.

Sale got more try BPs and scored more tries in the season than Bath.

Someone's salty that Solomona took Rokodogunis spot in the EPS and Ashton is about to take Watson's spot in the England XV

[TRF_Olyy]

Close loss for the Jets (as is tradition) against a strong Sale FC side with a smattering of recently retired pros

Sharks beat Donny 31-0, could have had a hat full more if not for some poor handling at vital moments (I only dipped in and out of the game but saw three balls dropped just before/just over the line and two tries held up).
Solomona played 13 when he came on, Ashton the full game at 15

I know ... the worst kind of cringeworthy crap ... Murley and Barlow might just be 'game changers' in the future though.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Olowofela was pretty immense for tigers in crap conditions,

 

[David Mitchell]

Quins beat Jersey 33-14. Score slightly flattering, Reds definitely we're better drilled and prepared with Quins definitely showing first time out syndrome.

Onwards and upwards #COYQ

The Pirates side is here:

https://cornish-pirates.com/match-previews/cornish-pirates-vs-exeter-chiefs/

A bit of Chief on Chief action with Caulfield appearing on the blindside (his future position?) and Billy Keast on the bench. No sign of the Chiefs side though. Good news for Pirates - the game sold out on Tuesday (4,000) bad news for me though as I was thinking of popping down to watch. On the plus side, it's being live streamed on the Pirates' Facebook page for those of us unable to make it.
