Aviva Premiership 15/16 - Round 5

Nice from Spencer - this has to be the season he emerges as first choice?
He's 23 now.

He was first choice for a while when he was 21 while Wiggles and de Kock were injured. Firecracker scrumhalf but lacked game management a bit. Looks much better now.

 

[ratsapprentice]

You mean he was third choice.

You mean he was third choice.

Third choice who made 30 apps in both Premiership and Heineken. So sort of a little.

 

[ratsapprentice]

No doubt he got time, but it was by virtue of the two senior guys being injured.

Anyway... I look forward to seeing him get some proper game time.

Two really well executed tries so far. Spencer has had a wonderful start.

Yeah I get you. Issue is we still have Wiggles (32) and De Kock (37) but can't imagine that DK will be playing that much? Sarries do love a rotation system though.

Newcastle making so many tiny mistakes. Is it too late to make money off of Wuss staying up at the bookies?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Sale v Newcastle was one of the worst games I've ever watched.
80 mins of kick tennis and knock ons.

 

[ZeroTwo]

Phenomenal Saracens try. Why couldn't Brits be English?!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How come Joubert is retiring like a month into the season?
Cutting wages because of the salary cap investigations?

Falcons should be happy with an away draw, wonder if things might start getting better for them:

We bought Vunisa as number 8 (which I thought was weird at the time but makes sense now) so assuming it was always part of the plan?

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Not sure why Matt Mullan appears to be playing as first receiver

 

[ratsapprentice]

Eykyn is so smug; I can barely watch BT sport.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

I like where Irish are going as a side. Think they could be very strong in a few years.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Lewington is Alec Guinness.

How long until Bath come calling?

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

If Gaskell wants to play for England he needs to learn when NOT to offload.

 

[Irish boy]

Where looking decent

Booth won't have the same hold on him as the others.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ah yeah, I forgot he joined from Tigers.
