Just caught up on the Tigers game.
Disgusting dummy from Chessum. You never saw Wade Dooley do that.

Atrocious half. It's not just the lack of any sort of fluency to our attacking game but it's the fact we're being dominated in every physical aspect of the game.
About the only positive so is no i-words yet.

Crazy try,

Lovely footwork from Bracken for that finish
Some bloody good rugby being played in the prem these last two weeks

Is that a knee injury for LRZ now too??
'Kin hell. That's what, six in one day?
Turns out it's "just" a foot injury - the knee injury monster can go back into hibernation... until tomorrow
Just as (potentially) horrible. Maybe KIM is just working his way down.

A quality game. Not much kicking from either side and there was a good flow from both sides. Bears just lacked that final flourish in the red zone. Lots of very good tries and solid defensive performances. Good to see a lot of the next generation cominf through.

Not sure about that, Bris definitely not up to it first half. Will need a word with some individuals.
I have one gripe with the score announcement video though, as Bris have never, ever won at the Stone X is it really a big surprise?
Positives to be taken from that second half, some really impressive stuff from the younguns and should have taken the LBP if not for a bit of bad luck (again). Kept in the game and didn't give up. Some players coming back, including Gengey, Pedro and Santi who will bring a bit of heavier firepower. Not hitting the panic button yet.
Blew us away early on, congratulations Sarries. Looking good. See you again later on. Oh, and as daddy Bracken is something of a Bristol legend as well, is there any chance we could split the offspring between us? Cheers.
Thought they were both very good today
Only for the first half, if the last two games are anything to go by

Right, time to find some positives out of a 50-17 defeat..
- Potential injury ignored, LRZ is looking sharp, showed that speed on one of the Marmion tries (I forget which one!)
- Our trio of J's in the pack (Batley, Dun and Owen) looked good, got stuck in and carried well when given the chance.
- We almost got a BP out of a game we probably didn't deserve (Is that a positive?)
- We have Genge coming back next weeK

Marmion's got a pass on him, hasn't he?
Quick delivery, good height, out in front of the man.
If he keeps playing like that (and doesn't fall prey to the KIM) I can see him overtaking Randall for the 9 shirt.
Meanwhile, Sarries are looking very good indeed, with players to come back.

I wouldn't have thought so. Randall's overall speed in everything he does means he's vital to our style of play. KM is a more than capable deputy and will perform well but I fully expect, once Randall is fit again, to immediately return to starting.
Breakdown the Wild West at the moment for this ref. Hope he actually starts reffing otherwise it's going to be a messy game.
