Aviva Premiership 16/17 - Round 1

[TRF_Olyy]

We aren't playing too well oop north.
Newcastle's defence is superb, like genuinely some of the best I've seen in a while - kept us out for probably close to 6minutes of constant pressure on their tryline before winning a penalty.

Our lineout is shaky, McGuigan's first option is to kick everytime it seems.
MacGinty looks really good, though, just needs more time to gel with the backs.

Whilst it is always good to see the Tigers getting a thwacking - well it is the Tigers - it is even better to see Glaws playing so well at the off!!

AP needs a strong Glaws in the mix - mind you the crowd make it a certainty I will not be a paying supporter there!

Twelvetrees!

Someone let Mauger know that's why you sometimes need big forwards

What the **** is Barnes doing ?!? It's gotta be a penalty try !

 

[TRF_Olyy]

If Gloucester lose this it will be bloody classic Gloucester

I can't bring myself to support either side.

GO REFS!

That should of been another card.

It shouldn't be restarted after a YC.

Barnes is just giving penalties randomly now ......

[TEXTAREA](c) Scrum following maul. The ball is thrown in by the team not in possession when the maul began. If the referee cannot decide which team had possession, the team moving forward before the maul stopped throws in the ball. If neither team was moving forward, the attacking team throws in the ball.[/TEXTAREA]

When Tiger player ripped a Glaws player earlier and the ball went into touch, the throw in went to Glaws if that helps?

Who's Gloucester cap? Cause not going for goal then was the stupidest decision I've seen

Looking very stupid now!!

They are snatching defeat from the Glaws of victory......credit to F Burns for his touch kicking though!!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss

 

[TRF_Olyy]

****ing hilarious!
Seriously the Gloucester captain needs a slap.
Maybe a series of them like in Airplane, get all the shed to have a go.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Comeback of the century

 

[TRF_Olyy]

In other news we are our own worst enemies.
10,000,000 penalties given away, no support on our attack so getting isolated, defence poor.
