Aviva Premiership Final 2015 Bath V Saracens

[ncurd]

Bath badly need to score soon to keep this interesting...

 

[ZeroTwo]

Oh, I see he has been recalled after not being selected since 2013. I could never understand why he wasn't a permanent fixture

He is occasionally not very good at rugby.

 

[TheSaffycen]

Are we not allowed to ruck now to help Burgess or something ?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's a massive let off for Bath. That missed touch was terrible.


Ooooh and then they give away a penalty at the lineout.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Ford being a bit poopy ATM.

 

[Maverick1987]

Whoever said Rob Webber is better than Youngs in the line out needs to stop it . He's been awful today ....

 

[TRF_Olyy]

To be fair, Strettle is mr average.
He does everything adequately while doing nothing to an international standard. Good guy to have as a backup but not good enough for a starter IMO.

 

[ZeroTwo]

Another mysterious penalty. Still nervous about Bath.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

We need to see more clips of Craig.

Webber for Wales?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Not like BT Sport to not show numerous shots of Ford Sr and/or Craig

That's all you have spoken about on this thread ..... Are you a ref bothered by any chance ?

Good job Hartley is banned so Webber can get on the bench. Ford extremely poor, Bath front row were destroyed. Faz has done well, still back up for England but Ford needs performances to keep it now. Not a bad situation to be in.

 

[ncurd]

Farrell MOTM really?....

Just very convenient to blame the ref when the momentum changed. In all seriousness Bath have deserved this momentum change it's just unusual to not understand where the call came from whatsoever. Happened to Bath in the first half.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

He is no wilkinson! (On about Hodgson DG)

From what I've seen the delivery has been slow the bath forwards have been second best today . You can't expect backs to win games without the platform from the forwards it just doesn't happen .

Also can we not start messing around touting Farrell for England . Honestly if rather have Myler .....

He'd need a hair transplant first.

Yeh the forwards seemed to up the intensity . Unless sarries took their foot off the pedal thinking they could defend the lead they already had ?

#$@! Webber

Just gave ourselves way too much to do second half. Play like we did in second half and we may have won it.

Well played to Saracens first in the league and better team today deserved winners.

 

[ZeroTwo]

The first time a team outside the top 2 has won the Premiership I think? Anyway good final but coming back from that was always going to be hard. Still going to be doubters saying Bath's style isn't a winning one.
