Premiership 24/25 - Round 12

[TRF_Olyy]

5 tries in 10mins has to be a record surely

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Forget defences optional, defences explicitly not allowed

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

What is this super rugby rubbish

Premiership offy match centre has broken

Glad they've brought in the stadium ref mic,
Also glad to see no lame orange cards, proper old school red

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Exeter are so bad smh

Bristol ruthless though

 

[TRF_Olyy]

They're a man up and they look like they're two men down

Just seen BJVR’s try. Like candy from a baby.

Dickson seemed pretty decisive with the red card today.

Dickson seemed pretty decisive with the red card today.

He can still shove it up his "referee" arsehole

Yes, I'm a Chiefs fan, but the stars do seem to be aligning again...

 

[Arcturus]

Disappointed, thought it might be close, but just not clinical enough, too many mistakes, too narrow, etc... Looked tired in the 2nd half. Credit where due, Quins were constantly probing, using the full length of the pitch.

Will make a tough run in for the play offs now, although surely a toss up between Bath/Bristol as to who will win the title.

Maybe … this league is so competitive though. It really depends upon who puts together a run of decent performances.

We have Bath (A), Sale (H), Tigers (A), Gloucester (H), Exeter (H), Bristol (A).

With the exception of Exeter, the other 5 are the current top 6 (with us) and the current top 3 away from home. That's about as hard a run-in as you can get … if we make the play offs it will be well deserved.

I think we need to win all of our home games, win 1 more away game (most likely Tigers) and pick up BPs in the other away games. A tall order but not impossible.

It would very much help if Marcus comes back in with the mindset that he has a point to prove and possible place on the Lions tour.

Come on boys, give em hell!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Looks like it's gonna be a high scorer

Santi laying down a marker for next year's starting shirt

 

[Which Tyler]

Wow, how'd we get the ball out of that maul?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Fasogbon seems to set up way higher than even his loosehead and hooker, at the scrum - he's 6ft4 and that's at least 2 inches taller than any international tighthead I could be bothered to quickly Google, wonder if it could be a hindrance at the highest level?
It's not even competitive between him and Obano so far - on setup Fasogbon is having to angle down so much because his hips are a lot higher than the Bath front row, can't be good for a power base

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Pass from Harris was probably worth a look

Edit: wow, never seen a charge down there

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bloody hell!
This game is mad!
