Premiership Rugby 21/22 - Rd 2

Dean couldn't run one length of the touchline....

So hes starting Haydon Wood at 10 and benched Connon. Haydon Wood Is far better but only 21. Him and Louie Johnson are the future at 10...

Wasps line up released. Fairly happy with that despite injuries, looking a little light physically in backrow but benefit of Stooke and Fifita is they are big and good ball carriers.

Gotta say - I'm worried about your pace out wide, up against Rocco

I'm excited for three reasons to see our team.

Hislop at loosehead. Heard is much like Matt Mullan and will put a shift in and get about the pitch. Also looked very good in the scrum against Dragons.
Fifita at lock with stooke - Both big boys and both lots to prove. Fifita as our big overseas signing and Stooke to claim a place in England squad.
Crossdale at fullback - highly talented but never got a pure chance at Sarries. Could do great things at fullback for us as we are very light on that type of player to dominate fullback for us.

Isn't Fifita pretty small for a lock?

Is there a sweeter sound in rugby than the braying donkeys in the shed being stfu?

 

[Geordie]

All tigers....

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Not sure how that was through the gate

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Weird decision,
At very least it's in at the side, surely?

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

box kicks that fail to go 10 meters need to be YCs for the scrum half. incompetence needs to be aggressively removed from the game.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Nadolo fitness turnover is crazy

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

If that was a yellow it should also bea Pen try surely?

I think his failure to release didn't stop the try being scored, it just stopped them getting the ball out to recycle it.

 

[Geordie]

Turned into a decent game

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Martin giving away a lot of penalties

 

[Geordie]

Gloucester right back in it...how a game can swing...

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

I'm glad they are beginning to penalise players being on the wrong side getting in the way of the clearout more now. One of my pet peeves.

Go home ball, you're drunk.

In a world where Wiki weights / heights can be believed, he'd be on the smaller end of the spectrum, but hardly a massive outlier. About Maro Itoje size.

Alright start for JVP we are missing the control of Youngs though
