The Saturday games should be staggered like that every week

Terrible for away fans though. I wouldn't object to 1500, 1730, 2000 however.

Visiting tigers from SW this weekend as a Bristol fan is a 3 hour drive not accounting for traffic, parking and walking (plus any stopping and probably wanting food pre match, etc)... I'd have to leave at around 7am ish on a Saturday and hope not to get caught up, so I'm not doing it. Praise PRTV.

Fair point,

Just make sure there are no overlaps, I'm not fussed about when they're on - especially as they're now selling a service where you can watch all games live

Going to be a spicy fixture in North London. Post-6N, Smith v Farrell... 50,000 tickets sold as well.

The reverse fixture back in September saw Harlequins quick out of the blocks, racking up 17 points before Saracens even got on the scoresheet, but it was pretty much one direction after that, and the rest they say is history with Sarries claiming the try bonus point win.

I think it will be close again, with both sides playing conservatively. Hopefully Sarries will just edge it, but with such a large 6N contingent to reintegrate and the non-6N guys not playing since the 5th, there could be some rusty coordination.

 

[Al Bangor]

Gloucester over Newcastle

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Hopefully we smash London Irish but in reality guessing it will be a try fest for both sides. With London Irish’s current form im nervous about this one.

Yeah really looking forward to this fan of neither but been invited for lunch, go to the game dinner with some friends could get messy and expensive.

That bath team looks pretty strongth

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Faking a tap and go should be a freekick tbh

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Incredible try

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

That's a red, but I'm not sure how he wraps with his left arm there?

Like where would it even go?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

And there's the game,
Shame, was shaping up to be a banger

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Radwan is just terrific.

And LRZ is wildly overrated

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Varney continuing his Italy form for Gloucester

Just terrible

What do I know?
Great game - MOTM should go to the Newcastle back 3 collectively, outstanding performances from the lot of them, with an honourable mention to Chick

 

[Mr Burns]

Fantastic defence and the back three were class. I’d love to see Radwan given a chance with England again.

 

[Geordiefalcon]

Ive made most games this season ...but missed this one due to having a 5 month old little boy....typical I missed this cracker.

Be back to normal dirge next game....

 

[TRF_Olyy]

No way Pollard gets back in the Bok side if he keeps assisting and scoring tries - he needs to get back to kicking the leather off the ball

 

[Rinkadink]

Bristol been way below where we were after opening 10 but we totally lost the referee in first quarter. Given us nothing after Thacker disputed a call. Thanks Carley. The lack of TMO check on the Bradbury attempt spoke volumes.
