[FLOBALOB]

Quite surprised Bears have retained some of their big names from w/e game Radrada ,Piutaus,Hughes, Sinckler. Would have thought they'd be better utilised against what will probably be a full-bore Wasps side on sunday.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah, tonight's game should be good - both teams going pretty much all out

Could be a very interesting game, looking forward to it

 

[Scotty]

Is Akker injured or rested? Seen as webber is out of retirement?

Went off with an ankle/foot injury last game, and it's the same foot/ankle that kept him out for a while early this season
Don't think he would have played in this one anyway - Langdon was always gonna start, and Ashman looked good off the bench

 

[Reiser99]

You know what remains a mystery to me. Why are Leicester still shown so much on main BT sports channels. If this was a normal season, that would be all you could watch.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Probably got the biggest fanbase in the league, and also the most casual fan recognition - plus you get people tuning in to watch them lose

 

[Reiser99]

Fantastic break by Earl there.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bristol are toying with them out there

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Bristol really are fantastic to watch

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Hahah thacker!

 

[Reiser99]

Bristol are toying with them out there

Thacker literally deciding 4 tries in 20 minutes is too harsh, so felt that Saints needed a bit of hope.

 

[Scotty]

Is that really 24 min till the first scrum? More of that please(the play not the scrum!)

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Sheedy is EPQ isnt he?
Had he said anything about where his loyalties lie?

Played for England vs Barbarians so there's obviously some mutual interest there

 

[Reiser99]

This game really should be over now. Still expect Bears to get bonus point. Saints need a miracle to get anything out of this.
