Aviva Premiership 17/18 - Round 10

[Which Tyler]

Fuki me ref cost us that damn game.

You are Richard Cockerill, and I claim my £10

Looking at the table just before round 11 the table looks good for the Chiefs.

Decent avantage going into the second half of the season if they beat saints. Chiefs and sarries fighting for no.1 spot with tigers bath wasps fighting for ño.3 spot

My prediction
Chiefs ( dominate six nations season)
Sarries (couple of looses with internationals away)
Wasps ( finding form)
Tigers (just)
Bath ( just miss out)

Same as last season but different order of top 4.

Anyone think different?

Gloucester to finish 6th maybe 5th. Massivly improved but as the season goes on i think they won't quite have enough about them for top 4/5.

What do you guys think?

 

[Big_Grumper]

I wouldn't disagree with you, @scotty507. I expect Exeter to top the table and for Sarries to struggle during the 6N. Leicester will find their form and mount a late challenge.

As a Cherries fan I'd be happy with anything above tenth, particularly if we're one place above Bath. ;-)

Gloucester have been one of those teams that can be great on their day but are average at best most of the time. This season they have really turned it around and cant call it luck because its across 11 rounds so not like just a couple of good wins. Chiefs win they tried hard to lose but stuck it out yet they have just been a good team throughout the season. Hope it goes well for them ( but not too well as i want chiefs to smash it )

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

wasps been getting every other 50/50 though.

Only switched on for the final 20, but that's totally believable. In terms of the final 6 minutes though, knocking the ball on in your half to give wasps an attacking scrum - generally inadvisable..

We've been under-par for more than ten years. The important thing is that we've finally got a coach that's moving us in the right direction.

Would you not normally expect a team to get every other 50/50? Surely that would be the most balanced way?

Ref was poor all round.

 

[smartcooky]

Jeezus.. Just watched Wasps v Tigers... cracking game!

 

[Hound]

Is that the best backline in the Prem? Gotta be up there.

I'd take a healthy Leicester.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

I'd take a healthy Leicester.

I said in the Prem, not Tigs' fantasies which is the only place a healthy Leicester will ever play.

 

[Reiser99]

Dallaglio on BT Sports. George to be no.1 has to take his game to the next level...his current level is already above Hartley.

It's going to happen very soon, just don't blink or you'll miss it.

Didn't even need our best backline to beat you.

 

[Reiser99]

Luamanu was a bit lucky there personally. His shoulder looks like it hits Wray's face and there wasn't much use of arms. That could have been a card with another ref.

 

[Big_Grumper]

This is shaping up to be a tasty encounter.

 

[TommiG88]

Quins play like a footy team. Shouting at the ref and it's working.

High tackle from Skelton when he's pulling the shirt number. Embarrassing.

And that is why Goode is not an international.

I like the look of the table after this round

Really? Will Skelton is garbage and/or dirty???

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Crazy to think that the top 6 are only separated by 4 points.

So you didn't watch the game.
