Premiership 24/25 - Round 14

Quins would have won with a proper 2nd row pairing... .

Great advert for summer rugby, that was a mad half

Might need to get some oxygen tanks in the changing rooms, everyone looks absolutely shattered

Shades of Marshawn Lynch from Opoku-Fordjour

I'm not sure that's the problem!

I think it's something that rhymes with Wanny Dilson

Hartley looking good at 12 for Sarries

He was very good. Quite a few other quality performances, Segun was outstanding acrose the pitch

The score doesn't mention the number of absolutely suicidal passes Sarries made

Super tense and I genuinely thought Glos would make it a super narrow game to the end, but they just seemed to switch off and then we ran away with it.

I would like to hope we can maintain thay intensity for the rest of the season because that could be hard to contain, but we need consistency.

In honour of Charlie Bracken playing for Saracens today I decided to put together a premiership 15 of players that have fathers that played international rugby. However I am struggling with the forwards so I would be grateful for some help:

1. S. Sio
2.
3.
4.
5.
6. R. Logan
7.
8. J. Beaumont
9. C. Bracken
10. O. Farrell
11. L. Lynagh
12. C. Redpath
13. M. Ojomoh
14. O.Sleightholme
15. T. De Glanville

Move Beaumont to lock alongside Jean-Luc DuPreez and put Dan DuPreez at 8

If you're counting Premiership Cup then Sonny Tonga'uiha made his Saints debut this season

If you go back a bit, you can get Faletau, Ross Moriarty, a couple of Vunipolae and a couple of Quinnells up front and Hastings in the backs.

Back in the present day, Max Llewellyn and Lozowski could be added to the backs.

 

[Arcturus]

I wonder whether the away end trial will be short lived? I arrived at the ground just as a bunch of Gloucester fans got off a coach, all dressed in denim, most of whom look like they were already several pints in and unable to walk in a straight line.

Going by other peoples accounts, the stewards had to intervene which isn't something you'd expect at a rugby game. Maybe swift point deductions to nip it in the bud?

 

[Ddanno]

Always some dickheads ruining it for everyone else, but just get rid of it if it keeps being problematic and start banning "fans" from games. They'll soon behave

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

What they said is factually correct, they do hate sarries and London is a hole.

It's a shame they annoyed all 6 of the sarries fans though.

Tom and Ben Youngs, Romain N'Tamack, Damien Penaud, Ruan Ackermann, Matt Gallagher, Posolo Tuilagi - quite a few more I can't think of right now.

TBH, you might even be able to do an England XV.

It sounds like they were told to chill when they started saying "Fergus Burke is just a **** Owen Farrell".


Tbh it's made me even more pro it as an idea. Punishes clubs with bad atmosphere and forces them to match up. The fact that Sarries were being out sung by a small bunch of Gloucester fans at the start of the game forces them to raise their standards a bit.

Evolve or die

Unlike many of the Sarries fans who'd have been just as many pints in but wearing Barbours??

Last time I went to Sarries we sat a few rows in front of Bufton-Tufton who spent 80 minutes serenading us with "Oh Maro Itoje". That was far more likely to make me see red than "We hate Saracens" or "London's a shithole I wanna to go home".

You don't want the stewards to have to intervene, but got to be honest, what's been put in writing here does sound pretty lame.

They were probably desperate to get back the Forest of Dean and make sweet love to their sisters

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Last time I went to sarries their useless fans only started singing to drown out our cheers and singing of oh when the saints.

I'm so glad their 3 fans enjoyed our singing a 9 year old. Boring old ********.

From the TV it pretty clearly looked like there was a sizable stag do there

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Pollard's passing is shocking for a multi time world cup winner, what is he on today

That offload for Bristol's try was ridiculous - like something you'd see in one of the recent Rugby computer games where offloads are just lightning passes that go perfectly to hand to a player 20m away
