Premiership Rugby 18/19 - Rd 13/14

[BPM]

Hard to call results this round. Particularly with all of the international absentees.

Could be 6 home wins.

 

[Scotty]

Bears
Chiefs
Saints
Bath
Quins
Sarries

My prediction

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Thorley is related to Itoje.

Now it makes sense.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Who is it breathing down the f***ing mic?!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wasps' attack is ******* dire
Pass behind, pass behind, speculative miss pass out to the wing that is so slow and looping it turns to a hospital pass.
Then do the exact same thing across the pitch to the other wing.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

If Falcons and Wuss manage a win tomorrow relegation will be really interesting.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Switched over to the Exeter Gloucester game for the second half and Exeters attack looks even worse than Wasps

Exe need to invest in a 10 cause they're dull as dishwater

 

[TRF_Olyy]

This Hendrickson guy bought his nose in the same shop as Strettle

Absolute concorde

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Chiefs are seriously rusty today.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Thorley's clearly a very talenehed athlete but he's just about the rawest player Prem back you'll find. Runs sideways constantly, passing is erratic, seems very tactically unaware... I'd find it very concerning if he gets near an England shirt in the next few years.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Steenson on, Exeter score

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Gloucester getting away with so many forward passes

 

[TRF_Olyy]

36 gonna 36

The Exeter player who gave away that incredibly stupid penalty is thanking his lucky stars

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Cordero wanted none of that then. Brilliant attacker but so weak in defence.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Exeter lacked the balls to fling it wide for the overlap.

Baxter sticks way too much to plan A

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Should've started Steenson

I'm all for backing youth but he is significantly better than Simmonds

I like joe simmonds he's a good young FH but thats all he is good. He will never give us that edge in attack, i agree with an earlier comment we need to invest in an attacking 10 to replace steeno, simmonds has potential but not sure how high his ceiling is.

I like that chiefs use their academy system to good effect bringing though alot of talant knockimg on the england door but tbh we need to invest in a good 10 but any ideas who is even an option.

 

[Which Tyler]

Another agile try for Coka.
Good kick through by JJ, but 6" too close to the sideline, necessitating a dive from JC
