Aviva Premiership - Round 15

[Tony Manx]

He only missed 2? 3rd one went over.

This is his fourth kick!!

 

[TommiG88]

I can't believe how far homer can kick it. He'd hit over 60m in some of the places in South Africa.

Nice clear out from bath there, didn't get the number but no arms, just a shoulder charge.

 

[ncurd]

Don't think you can complain too much some shocking decisions there.

 

[TommiG88]

Pisi you idiot.

To be fair to this ref, he's being consistent.

 

[ncurd]

Think rokunughni milked that a little once he hit ground. Don't think it's wrong decision.

And Homer misses another...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The only reason Bath will have bought Homer (/bought him out of the remainder of his contract) is for his kicking.

and then........yeah.

 

[Tony Manx]

Homer has lost it..................just as he did it at the Irish!!

 

[TommiG88]

Burgess has the potential to be a quality union player, however I think he would be a better back rower.

 

[ncurd]

Ugh that was just painful, not sure how many points we left out there. Missing Ford a lot Both in terms of decision making and kicking.

Better team won today, ref made questionable decisions but was consistent.
---Updated---

Agree about Burgess think he's playing center just for game time learning. 8 could become a beast of ball carrier.

 

[Irishkid]

Our replacement academy player who is better than him is playing tomorrow but on the wing and Fenby is a better attacking option at full back.

Burgess has the potential to be absolutely brilliant if Bath just used more.

Sounds like Henry Slade has had an absolute wow of a game 27 points

 

[ncurd]

He's still learning the game but insanely quickly this is first week he's really looked the package.

Not going to ready for world cup despite what Russell Crown thinks (and do England need him?) But next season and 6 nations. Sure I can see that.

 

[ratsapprentice]

I think we need to simplify our game a little bit for Devoto or simply change it if he's doing what he's been told to.

Not helped by Micky Young who, aside from one break, was pretty poor IMO.
He flounders at the ruck and makes a lot of errors.

 

[ncurd]

Agreed Rats we've got some good players but scrum half has felt like a weak link all season. Probably why there wholesale changes in that area next season.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Burns' continuing his excellent kicking from hand from last week.

edit: and now a DG.


He's looking far better then last two weeks compared to....well, the last two seasons.

 

[SelimNiai]

Lovely conditions there

or not

 

[Irishkid]

Getting killed in the scrum can't see us winning this unless one of our backs or back row gives us abit of Magic.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Agreed Rats we've got some good players but scrum half has felt like a weak link all season. Probably why there wholesale changes in that area next season.

Cook's generally been good, but Young is pretty gash as far as I can see. I really think we should've played Stringer more and held on to him for another season and possibly beyond rather than giving Young game time.

 

[SharksFan86]

Just about to watch Highlights from this weekend, What a great win for us on Saturday against Saracens ! Very tight in chase for top 4, going to be great battle as we near end of league season.
