Aviva Premiership 17/18 - Round 10

[ratsapprentice]

What the **** is that, Courtney?!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Both touch judges and the tmo all say it's not a deliberate knock on but then Carley gives it as one and gives a yellow as well

Sigh

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I'm gonna fight Matt Carley.

Saints are utterly embarrassing.

Surely, with wanting to become like football, performances from the last 2 and a half seasons must mean Malinder must be on his way out

We are on a cycle, play crap rugby, rely on our top players to scrape us into the Champions Cup, get embarrassed by the top sides... rinse repeat.

But with the top players (and with Bigger being added) we need some proper coaching to direct them

Couldn't agree more, I just can't see Mallinder being sacked.

If Cockers can surely Malinder can

We'll have to wait and see, can't think of anyone who we will bring in.

 

[ncurd]

Ducking hell we look passive in defence.

Tigers board have always been ruthless though.
They sacked Deano a manager who had won the European cup.

Ducking hell we look passive in defence.

Watson struggling playing in a position he isn't used to it has seemed to affected his ability to tackle...

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

@TRF_Olyy True to form tigers have made some late changes

Always said Ford looked more like a tighthead

I was going to make a similar joke about Dan Cole at 13 but then I remembered Bastareaud.

 

[Which Tyler]

Ducking hell we look passive.

FATTY, until the 65 minute mark.

Final score was close enough to what I'd predicted, but not the timeframes I expected

 

[Scotty]

So annoyed at that last 15 for Chiefs. We thought the game was won and let off the guy. Still want to see simmonds out wide.

Great game by chiefs and just dominated the first 60. But had it been a little closer bath could have come away with 2 BP or even a win, shows how it can all change in a short time.

Still good win and puts us 10 points ahead of bath. And will be 12 above Leicester even if they lose with a BP. Not sure who wins wasps or tigers though.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Well I wonder why the ball happened to 'pop out' of that breakdown.....should have been a penalty

wasps been getting every other 50/50 though.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Fuki me ref cost us that damn game.
