PREM 25/26 - Round 14

[Saintjay]

All fart and no poo.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

The commentators really have a hard on for Calouri. Give it a rest.

Young wing who looks good in some Premiership games, hardly revolutionary or rare.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Quins vs Sale feels very end of season/Barbarians-esque
Neither side much interested in defence at all

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Not seen anything today from either team to worry saints or bath. Big improvements needed from both teams.

 

[Gavin]

That deliberate knock on against CCS is wild

 

[PremRugbyScorigami]

Sale 52-33 Harlequins

SCORIGAMI!

This is the first instance of this score in @premrugby history

 

[PremRugbyScorigami]

Saracens 19-15 Leicester

NO Scorigami

This was the 9th instance of this score

First Game: 19/10/97 Saracens 19-15 Wasps
Last Game: 30/11/24 Bath 19-15 Exeter

 

[Brown Bottle]

There's been a lot of Scorigami recently, it seems to me. Presumably because of the large scores being racked up.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hope one of the journos does a look into/list of injuries this season, over the summer - feels like there's been way more than in previous ones
Normally you get one side who gets absolutely run over but there's a few this season and even the hardier sides are losing players seemingly every game

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Sleightholme run down by Bayliss is crazy - I know he's covered in the backs a fair bit but come on!

This game has been far more competitive/good in general than I thought it'd be

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Healey talks such ********, no way that could be given as a try.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Kemeny with a chase any winger would be proud of now too

Make Forwards Fat Again

Healey talks such ********, no way that could be given as a try.

Yeah, he's mad - it was either grounded by Frost or a knock on by Kemeny
Kemeny didn't ground it

 

[Reiser99]

Good on Sale, if you can't beat em, find someone weaker and beat them instead.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Someone's salty they lost today

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

God Healy is so painfully unfunny

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Well saints are struggling to put away a 2nd/3rd choice Bath side at home

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Looks like a double movement but he's put it on the line, and not realised, before the knee drive so it doesn't matter

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Incredible game

Shame for it to end on a penalty like that, almost feels like it should be a penalty mitigated down to play on (I know that's not a thing, and the right call was made) because he makes legal contact and then Pollock keeps dropping and the head contact is secondary contact on the wrapping arm

 

[PremRugbyScorigami]

Northampton 41-38 Bath

SCORIGAMI!

This is the first instance of this score in @premrugby history

FTFY

Can't complain really, great game. I'm amazed at how few times Bath have won there though. Only 4 times in 26 appearances is awful.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ooft, not gonna be a fun MOTM interview there

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Well everyone likes a new shiny toy. And he has a super strength.

Yesterday was the first time I’ve seen him in the flesh. He took some high balls and those he didn’t he mostly won for others on his team or at least stopped Tigers getting clean possession. And he had absolutely no right to score that try - this wasn't Sale but a hard fought game where there was less than a try in it.

I didn’t see what led to his binning and there were times in defence when I was holding my breath. He’s not England today but given the importance of the aerial game I can totally understand if he’s on SB’s radar with a list of work ons. And won’t be shocked if he gets blooded against Fiji or someone.

Just feels like when we praise props for their work in the loose and then say they’ll work on their scrummaging, when in reality props shouldn’t be talked about until they are nailing their scrummaging.

Not exactly the same but I hope you get my point. He’s young and will develop but being great at jumping is hardly a super skill if the rest of his game doesn’t develop as it’s not ready yet at all. I’ve got faith in the Sarries coaches to develop him though but England is not the place to develop players.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The difference Williams makes to Gloucester is crazy,
Robson is a very good player but they're still going to miss TW a crazy amount next year

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Thank you Gloucester

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Trenholm has been class for Gloucester today

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Idiotic from Roots,
Not saying Chiefs were about to go the length but they were certainly giving it a go

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Oooh Roots in trouble here

 

[PremRugbyScorigami]

Gloucester 34-31 Exeter

NO Scorigami

This was the 3rd instance of this score

First Game: 9/11/03 London Irish 34-31 Saracens
Last Game: 27/2/22 Exeter 34-31 Northampton

Alright Cherry & Whites!
