Aviva Premiership 15/16 - Round 21

[ratsapprentice]

Harrison continues to be excellent.

- - - Updated - - -

Just as Underhill scores a try for the ospreys.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Try was going to come, Bath can't play this long in their own 22

EDIT disallowed but Bath still can't keep playing in their own 22

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I feel dirty but if Bath could win with by >7 then that'd be fantastic.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

6) Underhill
7) Harrison
8) Vunipola

Talk about physical.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

And not one born in England

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Oh another yellow for Bath... Ffs Bath have no discipline at all. Now back 10m for being prats and we may be getting another yellow because the ref is ****** off.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Ellis Genge doing a number on wuss in the scrum apparently he is staying at Tigers long term.

Been excellent since he came On also Will Evans with an excellent 40 mins scoring a try from a maul.

I've heard the same, apparently Bristol want rid after he got in trouble with the police. Not sure what he did but it must've been bad for them to be happy to lose such a promising player.

Prob fits Cockers mentality more than Robinsons as well TBH.

talk about a fall out with genge and robinson and him being with the wrong crowd.

Should be a good fit with Tigers as we like them tough. Looked very good today.

Bristol loss Tigers gain.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Arrested and released without charge, I believe.

LOL Mike Ford must of read this book pre 2015/16 season:

Good last minutes win for Saints and deserved MOM for Harrison in front of Eddie.

edit: special mention for Luow

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

I don't mind Bath losing so much as the nature of how we are losing, **** discipline and crass stupidity over and over is really getting annoying.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Didn't realise Genge only saw the light and moved to the front row a couple of years ago. Glory seeking back rower until he was 18.

He'll learn bucket loads from Ayerza. Couldn't have a better mentor.

Will be keeping a close eye on his progress.

 

[j'nuh]

Caught up with the Glos-Sale game.

Laidlaw is just class. Hasn't played 10 in three years, gets MOTM.

Dayglo saying that a good openside needs to have good linking skills as well as breakdown work.... shows a stat comparison of english "opensides" in the premiership, and George Smith... which shows that Kev makes more passes than anyone else outside of Smith (including double the amount Haskell does)... proceeds to say that that is the reason why he's not in the England team.

Jesus wept.

It's like there is some conspiracy...

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Will Evans future England 7.

Not being biased at all but yep.

Whatever happened to that talented England 7 in waiting Gibson.... ahh yes... he moved clubs.

Every time I think about Haskell playing for England I just want to shoot myself.
I still can't get over all the praise he got for the 6N when he was largely anonymous and had ****ing terrible stats.

I bet the All Blacks wish they had a guy like him. Acceptable in defence, liability at the breakdown and poor-to-very-poor carrying.
But hey, at least he cracks the lads up in trying #TopLadBanter



Edit: Just had another look at the 6N stats.
Haskell made 31m the whole tournament. Hardie made that in Scotland v England alone.
