Aviva Premiership 15/16 - Round 9

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Matt smith for england

 

[TheSaffycen]

Dr Kock scores !! Quins got away with 7 penalties in 10 minutes, 2 of which are on their line. Horwill in the bin after the Kruis collision.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Ben Youngs you beauty!!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Well, I didn't expect this scoreline this early on.


Youngs should 100% be first choice 9 going into the 6N.

 

[TheSaffycen]

He's play remarkably well. I'd start Ford with him, could easily be a 6 nations winning half back pair.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Lawes really just isn't that impressive a carrier is he?
I mean I know Williams is a decent defender, but he's pretty small - guy Lawes' size shouldn't have hit the deck so easily.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Kitchener is having a good game.

You aren't ever going to be when you're built like he is.

You aren't ever going to be when you're built like he is.

I've seen guys like Gaskell and Croft run over smaller guys.
Just seems he (much like Hartley) is really passive in his running. Could just be a coaching thing - go to ground early to get set and retain, rather than try and fight on and risk getting isolated.

 

[ratsapprentice]

I wouldn't describe either of them as good carriers either... Neither have the limb length of Courtney though.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Decking stupid

 

[ratsapprentice]

Harrison has been their best player this season.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Paul Hill!

I hope that's a try, cause that's amazing!


No way is that a high tackle. It's on the shoulder!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Decking hell

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Letter of the law that is high

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Manu on @ 12

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Last angle showed it vaguely toughing the collar, so letter of the law and all that.
Still pretty ****house.

Manu time! On at 12 as well

If that was Leicester I would be annoyed TBH, very tough call.

 

[TheSaffycen]

Paul Hill for 14
On a serious note how quick is he because Kitchener is quick. Mako-George-Hill is a quick front row

 

[martinspoonboy1]

That should be red!
