Aviva Premiership Round 4

It's ok I'll try get around to it.

That's unbelievable pity he didn't do it when there was so much being invested in him.

Maybe playing in the English premiership has helped, it seemed to do Mike Ross some good

The way Sales appear to be conning apart at the seems, I'd imagine its more to do with the meltdown of his teammates then him coming good. He showed no signs of suddenly being good last season, particularly when Sale weren't so crap.

Doubt it Ross was different he was always able to lock a scrum I believe but he wasn't the type of prop our coaches wanted as for some reason they didn't think the scrum was important. I t still took a year of him not really playing for Leinster to get up to the minimum level required.

Aye, don't get me wrong, he's not Dan Cole all of a sudden.
He's still crap, it was just funny to see him scrum straight through the opposition pack (once).

Michalak master class on computer and Glouces v Wasps on TV...............where is that beer!!

 

[Draggs]

Saints win with a try BP, but fell asleep in the last quarter.
28 unanswered points for the Warriors to clinch a try BP and losing BP.

V Entertaining game at Kingsholm with score ending 29:22.....................ball going every way but which and reminded me of a Super 15 game of basketball but without the ball handling skills.............Wasps are such a different proposition to last season...............if only they had a front row?!

Turned over for Leicester game and ESPN doing their usual..................some blokes chucking "arras".............preumse they will have start delayed!!

 

[j'nuh]

Very nervous game, was convinced that Wasps would sneak a win at the end when we didn't put the ball out. Burns looking like he'll put in an England push this season.

I hope so, because what I've seen of Farrell this season has been gash.

With Foden out they could, technically, bring him in.
They won't, but they could.

Farrell Sr. won't want anyone getting in Owen's way.

 

[Feicarsinn]

Huuuuuugggggeeeee win for Quins today. Talk about laying down a marker.

 

[Tony Manx]

Well deserved and very entertaining win. It was a shame about the injuries................hope not too serious as want best team against us at the Stoop!!

 

[04perryo]

Its hard being a worcester fan atm

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Two points away at Saints is nothing to be sniffed at - it's better than a lot of teams will do this season.

 

[Patchey]

Felt Wasps were a little unlucky not the grab the draw at the end. That being said, Burns played an absolute blinder, especially in the second half when he single handedly pinned Wasps in their 22. On that form there has to be an England call up, Farrel Sr. or no Farrel Sr.

 

[welshglory]

I thought Easter was immense for Quins, possible England call up?

 

[Tony Manx]

I agree with you about his performance but do feel that he has had his day Internationally and that he will continue to do great things for Quins.....an English selection would be a step backward for them! I would like to see Burns produce a number more displays such as yesterday before calling him up aheahd of Flood............even Farrell snr must accept that farrell jr is not good enough at them moment to challenge for 10.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Agree with the first bit, not the second.

There's something about an England shirt that turns him in to a lazy f***er!

 

[Teh Mite]

Shouldn't complain at a BP win and 4 from 4 too much, but if Mallender continues to keep making wholesale changes on the hour mark it will come back to bite saints this year. The shape was lost and Wuss came into the game.

And I'll happily sit in 2nd if I can see Leicester get stuffed like that every week! :lol:

 

[Tony Manx]

Mallender has done that for ever and seems they have a book of substitution that has to be followed at all costs and no matter the state of the game......very strange!

Anyone notice that Rhod Gilbert the comedian is the Exeter Manager?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Chiefs handling Saracens relatively well so far - not giving them a hammering but looking comfortable with everything Saracens are throwing at them.
Scrum going well as well.
