Premiership Rugby 19/20 - Rd 9

[TRF_Olyy]

Consistency in this sport is a farce

I hate penalising seat belt tackles but if he's penalising them (and he is) then that's a penalty try ffs
That one against Myler earlier was wayyyyyyyy softer

Great tackle by Reinach....yet over sholder is high therefore pen try and YC. Would be rediculous as no danger but by the letter of the law. Common sense prevailed but totally against the protocol. I dont know what to believe anymore

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hell of a game for a neutral!

Well played Irish.
Poor from Team of 4.
Was a pen try .
Api unlucky with red card.
Meehan very lucky with only a yellow.
No complaints about result Irish executed better.
We cant keep winning with poor discipline all the time.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Just my 2 cents but I don't see that game happening like it did without Saracens already being relegated.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I was thinking that myself, but Irish have been pretty do or die this season, haven't they?
Scored a lot of points but leaked a lot too?

They have.
But they had also haven't won a game in their last 8 matches.

I didn't see the game so take it with a pinch of salt, but surely the red card was the real major factor?

Why do we still play Priestland? He's making so many mistakes.

Homer's doing a better job at FH today.

However, to answer your question, he's Mr Reliable compared to Freddie

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Hughes looks a different player under Lam

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Has it been very wet at bath recently?

Has it been very wet at bath recently?

How could you tell?

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Damn Bath are useless in the 22

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

How could you tell?

Honestly I think Bath not having a proper pitch is the biggest waste in the league.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I forget how strong Eastmond can be.
Some big tackles

If they're both going to be unreliable I'd at least like a little spark. Having said that I don't think changing the 10 is going to suddenly make the backline click.

Still only watching my rugby legally over here - how are we looking today?

Since when is shoulder to shoulder a yellow card?

I'd say pretty typical for the season.
Decent up front, unco-ordinated in the backs, defending rather narrow, error prone from the halfbacks.

Showing some good breaks and half-breaks today, but ball not going to hand to maximise them, but trying anyway, resulting in turnovers. Odd moments of simply not paying attention
