Premiership 24/25 - Round 15

[Reiser99]

Bristol are such a momentum team. Quick one two from Saints and the game has completely changed.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Maybe Pat Lam is a great fit for Wales after all

 

[Reiser99]

Not sure I agree with that. It rolls forward along his hands and then I feel he pushes it back.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What a trysaver

Ciaran Donohue’s got some wheels on him doesn’t he.

Ciaran Donohue's got some wheels on him doesn't he.

He's come from nowhere, and absolutely exploded onto the scene the last few months.
Looks to have a very high ceiling too

 

[BPM]

Agreed - just said the same on another forum. I could easily see him leapfrogging Charlie Atkinson for the A side.

Jack van Poortvliet looks a different player the last few weeks. Where has this version been hiding?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Regularly looks like this for Tigers (and England A) tbf, it's England that are the problem

Irish isn’t he?

Not unless the Irish have annexed Wiltshire

Annoyingly the next A game is when the top 4 sides are unavailable so it'll likely be Atkinson again (unless Gloucester get their act together and have a big run in)

Seems to be qualified for Ireland (but I don't know if someone just assumed from the name, and everyone else took it from there), but born in Salisbury

I kept reading Irish man in the reviews. I googled and saw born in Salisbury, and thought maybe his parents came to see the famous cathedral and gave birth at the same time

Yeah, must be on heritage. With a name like that, I'd assume at least one parent or grandparent would be Irish-born. He'd be the most Irish sounding England player since Shane Geraghty but he's definitely a product of English rugby.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What's the record for most tries in a game?
14 at kingsholm and still over 10 mins to go

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

The thing is, is it that bad a Chiefs team on paper?

On paper I like our team, some weaker areas but yeah I really think it's a coaching issue, we get ripped apart by offloads and so many missed tackles, that could be individual errors but happens so often it's like players are just playing a bad system.

Defence is woeful and attack is just predictable.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Gloucester have got a good run in - could come down to their final game at home vs Saints, who will have nothing to play for

 

[Seeker]

Gloucester 79 Exeter 17...a good ol' fashioned arse whoopin'.


Alright Cherry & Whites!
