Aviva Premiership Round 14

[TRF_Olyy]

12 - 52 to Sale at London Welsh.
Vadim Cobilas "little" (he's a monster) brother made his prem debut.
8 tries.

Kind of like the England game - scored a lot of points, but didn't really put in a great performance. Lineout was very hit or miss.

Cueto bagged another try. Varndell has got one at Quins today, but hopefully Frank can keep him at bay :lol:
I really hope he can retire as top try scorer.

We have just won away at London Welsh 52-12 !

Dominant performance and look forward to seeing highlights later on this evening.

Up The Sharks !

Frustrating game - looked like a team trying to figure out how to play with personnel changes in key positions.
Improves towards the end, can't be too unhappy with a losing BP at AP though.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

LBP?
Aviva site reckons Bath lost by 10 and only scored 3 tries?

 

[ratsapprentice]

My mistake! :lol:

 

[Irishkid]

How did Homer go. Also Nowell did well at 13 for the Chiefs.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Homer went well - couldn't realistically have gone much better for him individually.

 

[Irishkid]

Good to hear if u keep him fully fit he could be the next England full back he has so much potential.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hahahahahahha

Sorry, I just really don't rate Homer.

Not to say he's a bad player, he's a solid club man with a very good boot on him, but I wouldn't say he's anywhere near international class.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Doubt it, he's very underrated, and I think people overlook the completeness of his skillset because he is such an exceptional goal-kicker.... but he's not looked international quality to me.

Too many handling errors from Bath today really cost them the game especially giving Sarries attacking scrums in their first half. Really missing Ford - Joseph - Watson and others.

Fair play to Sarries though well deserved win.

TMO decisions I felt were correct although the TMO himself was wrong on the obstruction.


Good did all that was asked to put a case to replace Brown. Not entirely sure he's the right choice though.

Yeah I agree with all of that. I possibly think the biggest loss is Attwood. Our scrum and maul go from being a big weapon against almost anyone with him in to being a big worry with him out. Sarries had so much maul & scrum fun today.

 

[SharksFan86]

Caught up with Highlights, impressed by Exeter and Wasps keep new home record going. Saracens deserved win v Bath, hoping we can get a win against them next week and give ourselves a chance of top four spot.

+1...he really has had plenty of chances but never really shown up when the pressure is on.

Sorry but I agree good club guy, yes, but International.......there are so many others ahead of him!!

 

[goodNumber10]

Bet Quins Fans can't wait for Horwell to arrive....

 

[Raggs]

With Robson off they're still light on the ground for locks though. Maybe Matthews will have grown into the role some more, but he strikes me as someone who should be on the bench, not already starting.

 

[Irishkid]

Matthews is a bit light weight.

 

[ratsapprentice]

I think Matthews is incredibly confused as to what sort of player he is/what his role is for Quins.
He's pretty good at disrupting mauls, but that's about it from what I've seen of him.

No doubt he'll improve, I think he just needs to focus on things he does well - whatever they may be.
