Who TF is Farrelk?

Who TF is Farrelk?

Farrell's Canadian cousin??

Chiefs have clearly put a lot of practice into their offloading from the floor - they've all been doing it.

Clearly a drill they've been hammering.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Gloucester clearly haven't been practicing their little chips ...

 

[ratsapprentice]

Glos have been honing their chips for the last 10 years.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Simmonds is a unit.

 

[Scotty]

Simmonds in the fantasy team hell yeh!

Come on chiefs!

 

[Every Time Ref]

Glos have been honing their chips for the last 10 years.

That there was the first one which was a good decision rather than a gamble

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Surely that is double movement?

 

[GarethGriffiths]

Try from Thrush, game on...

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Not sure how that is a try?

 

[GarethGriffiths]

Try converted, 14-14.

 

[Abraxaz]

Rubbish call by the ref.

Exeter fans should be aggrieved if that decides the game.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Why not?

No leg drive, places the ball immediately.

I'm happy with that.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Hardly immediate IMO.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Someone needs to remind Simmonds he's a back not a forward, his burst for his 2nd try was quality.

Like being able to cheer on Kvesic again now that he's left Glaws

 

[GarethGriffiths]

A bit of an iffy try, yes, but Exeter were guilty of indiscipline and it's bitten them on the gluteus maximus.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Hardly immediate IMO.

Gotta agree with you here

 

[Which Tyler]

Hardly immediate, but closer to immediate than most placings of the ball backwards

 

[Every Time Ref]

Hardly immediate, but closer to immediate than most placings of the ball backwards

True but interpretation/precedent is totally different in the two scenarios.

Anyone else think Simmonds has inside centre written all over him?
