Considering he's not known for his lineout work, Lawes is bossing it so far. Two lineouts, two steals.

 

[Draggs]

Lamerat (?) needs to be slapped for not passing. Two men outside...
Basic skills, stupid play.

 

[HenryChinaski]

What a tackle from lawes. Second tackle like that in the same position. The guys on fire...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

He's absolutely monstering it so far.
Going to be some battle between him and Launchbury for the No.4 shirt (and before anyone suggests it: No, neither should be at 6).

 

[HenryChinaski]

some nonsense from Clancy here.

 

[Saintjay]

Should be up by more than three. How we butcher chances is beyond me.

 

[HenryChinaski]

It hasn't helped Saints that Myler was constantly doing EA Rugby 2008 style loop or wrap-around moves - by which I mean totally slow, predictable, and making his team mates work like mad to just get over the gain-line at all...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Pretty even, I reckon. Losing bonus point either way will be fair.

Clancy certainly leaning towards Saints tonight, especially with regards to Clark throwing punches and Hartley screaming obscenities at him.

I'd have reversed that penalty in the last quarter instead of having a word.

Also, why are players so greedy? Numerous instances tonight could have resulted in a try instead of a hog going for glory.
Player focus too much on size and speed now, basic skills are lacking BADLY.

That was boring, evening the evening on the beer was a let down. Lawes gad a good 1st 1/4, otherwise Saints appear to be asking "Why not Us?"... I have 80 reasons:

1st minute
2nd minute
3rd minute...
