Ap semi final- saracens v harlequins

[Patchey]

Sinckler is a bit fired up...

 

[Aristodemus]

Sinckler well up for this today, great to see!

 

[Big Ewis]

Actually three!!! Sarries and Toulon in H Cup and Northampton in the Amlin..................

the Am what ?

Fraser is made of glass.

Ben Kay has become one of the best pundits around IMO - fair, analytical, positive, empathetic and never gives in to hysteria.

They do need to bin Matt Dawson ASAP though... he's relentlessly irritating.

Only just turned the game on but was thinking how they'd drawn the short straw in getting Dawson.

Mullins, Kay and Healy are the BT Sport dream team.

I'm not exactly a Saracens fan but IMO that is a really harsh yellow.

 

[goodNumber10]

Thought that was harsh on Bosch.

 

[Tony Manx]

He did pick him up and that is enough.....pretty harmless but a lift is a lift!

Lifting is fine, no?

It's how he comes to ground that masters.

Sanderson seems happy enough with it.

I think Sarries are bored or something. They seem to be intent on making it difficult.

 

[Patchey]

Come on lads, 15 on 13, lets get a try or two!

 

[Tony Manx]

No....I understand that if you lift the legs above the horizontal it is yellow and if he goes down on his head/shoulders, a red comes into play!

The thing is the refs always use the phrase beyond the horizontal and it was used there but it really wasn't or at least not until a few inches above the ground which any hard tackle above the waist will have.

 

[ratsapprentice]

He clearly has no interest in rugby now he doesn't play.

There are a lot of them around TBH... Dawson is one of them IMO - he was struggling to get Christian Wade's name right at the beginning of the season.

He just talks in platitudes.

 

[goodNumber10]

No....I understand that if you lift the legs above the horizontal it is yellow and if he goes down on his head/shoulders, a red comes into play!

I'm pretty sure legs above the horizontal is ok as long as the descent is controlled.

He didn't dump, didn't drop and didn't drive him into the ground.

 

[Patchey]

Ashton's attempt to 'smash' Monye then, proof he still can't tackle.


Lovely lovelly stuff Quins, you beauties.

 

[Tony Manx]

Try time..............Bosch: I am sure that Smart Cooky can sort that one out when he wakes up!!

 

[Aristodemus]

Well this isn't going how I thought it would.

Edit: That was impressive with 13

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Quins made hard work on that try considering the numbers!

Great to see Monye get a try, been a great servant to the club, still a very classy player.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Sinckler is the form English TH... unbelievable if he doesn't tour.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Sinckler is the form English TH... unbelievable if he doesn't tour.

I think what he does is brilliant but he is way too got headed for international ruby IMO

 

[Patchey]

Quins made hard work on that try considering the numbers!

Great to see Monye get a try, been a great servant to the club, still a very classy player.

Agreed. Really nice guy too.


Quins can't loose focus and defend like that and expect to win. Need to get back into the game after this conversion.
