Aviva Premiership 17/18 - Round 5

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

me oh my good time to be playing wasps.

 

[ncurd]

Have to agree with commentators thetr we were very lucky with that decision.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How's that not a knock on though?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

God the TMO got it wrong massively.

Not that it changes the match points currently.

 

[Which Tyler]

I felt there was a wasp hand between the ball and cook for the first "knock on"
Not the second one though

Either way would be a scrum.

 

[ncurd]

Yeah wasnt sure on the 'first' butnthe second was clear and obvious.

Happy with the win though.

 

[Which Tyler]

Yes but...
Comfortably the best piece of skill in the entire match came straight after it. It didn't affect the result, and would be a shame if that had been wiped out

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

God for a game involving two "attacking" teams that was boring.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Put £25 on Bath winning after about 10mins of the game

Thank god for healing properties of red wine!

 

[Every Time Ref]

Don't think we're seen as a particularly attacking side. Probably kick more than anyone else, even Burns did nothing but kick when he came on, and he's supposed to be the playmaking 10

 

[TRF_Olyy]

making more money than Sale do....

We don't make money, we make history

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Is that wasps 3rd lose on the trot?

2 loses at home against two teams not in the top 4 currently not looking promising.

Perhaps wales will do a swap Gatland and Howley for Young?

 

[ncurd]

Bath have beaten Saracens and Leicester this season. If anything in our table position we should be the ones more worried anout it

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Is Blackadders thing to compare young english Bath players to NZ and Canterbury greats?
First Ford and Carter
Now Underhill and McCaw

Waiting for him to say Mercer and Read next.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Sinck has been cited for gouging,
If he's banned (not seen the incident, but if he did do it then he deserves a lengthy spell out) then we're pretty screwed at 3. Have to rely on the corpse of Dan Cole playing the full 80.

 

[Which Tyler]

Time for a Henry Thomas scrummaging masterclass!

We might be waiting a while

Aren't they playing Saracens at Allianz Park next weekend? Could be a difficult day if the last couple of weeks are anything to go by.
