Aviva Premiership 16/17 - Round 10

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Is Ben curry the England 7 we have all been waiting for?

Maybe ready in a season or 2. Harrison is defiantly not adapting to international rugby, Haskell is great but not a long term 7, neither is Wood.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Underhill is probably more likely in the short term.

But both of the Curry's have looked very good - certainly better than Will Evans has.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I actually think Tom is the slight better of the two, though really the difference is negligible, they are identical after all.
Pretty crazy to think they're only 18 and don't look out of place at all in senior rugby as forwards.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Easily above average, not just coping... raw, but clearly very talented.

 

[Which Tyler]

Sarries disciplin letting them down at the moment - long may in continue (it won't).
Watching on a better stream for the first time in a while - I think they're improved the video quality, albeit still not great.
I do like that they have the volume turned up on the officials' microphones.

Underhill is probably more likely in the short term.

But both of the Curry's have looked very good - certainly better than Will Evans has.

Underhill is the least likely short term considering he still has another season at Ospreys.

Pretty cool to go from a group where we only really had one out and out 7 in Kvesic who wasn't liked to potentially.

Underhill
Evans
Curry number 1
Curry number 2

Hoping Ludlam manages to break into the Saints 23 to make it 5.

 

[Which Tyler]

Faletau off for an HIA (looks like eye rather than concussion)
Tapuai with a cultured howitzer
Then the break; to put Clark over - Homer fails the conversion.

 

[Raggs]

Raggs is Jack Willis covering hooker? I've liked what I've seen of him as a flanker but he doesn't look like an obvious choice as a hooker ...

Nah Johnson is covering hooker.

Only the second time Itoje has lost this year right?

 

[Every Time Ref]

Wow gutted I missed that. Good game? Who stood out (good and bad)?

 

[Which Tyler]

Good game for a non-neutral; never more than 10 points in it; and barely that.
Bath played genuinely well, but mostly without the ball; Faletau, ZMercer, Fotuali'i and Tapuai stand-out performances.

Didn't know Tapuai had a boot on him - it was immaculate in the first half; bad-day Ford in the second.

I'd recommend catching it on premiershiprugby.tv tomorrow for anyone with a vested interest.

North is out cold

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

How is North still on?

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

How is North still on?

We are probably using the Welsh medical rules.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

We are probably using the Welsh medical rules.

A splash of Valley Water cures all.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

A splash of Valley Water cures all.

With his history of concussion I'd have had him off just in case. Can't believe it.

northampton may want to work on not turning the ball over every time they get inside the opponents 22

No. we have practised loosing the ball in the opposition 22 all pre season. Why would we stop doing it now!
