HEC: Saracens - Ospreys (10-12-2011, 18:00)

How straight was that throw at the end for Saracens? Did not look it and he pinged the Ospreys (rightfully), seconds earlier for it.

Saracens were clinical at killing the ball and getting away with the little infringements, lucky with a few things. They won the game and lets take nothing away from them.

Yeh, you're right there. I thought Sarries played wuite well in patches. They got past the Ospreys rush defence very well. I have absolutely no idea why they took of Brits who was one of the best players on the pitch.
 
Shambolic refereeing. Really killed that game for the Ospreys in the end. I have no idea how he could single anyone out at the scrum as neither were binding, and both were going down at the same time. Adam Jones had the nudge all night, yet wasn't rewarded once!

Who kicked the ball at the end when the Ospreys were attacking? Bonus point is ok, but I had really high hopes of an Ospreys win. Team selection didn't help matters mind. Starting two back-rowers in the second row to fit Smith into the side is a crazy decision, considering Smith is an average player at best despite his good game last weekend. Whre was Ian Evans, the O's best lineout jumper? A bit of a mess all round really!

I was in a foul mood after this game. I just couldn't understand most of the ref's decisions. And I just don't understand Biggar - I had to go out for a walk after the game to calm down.

Well done to the Sarries though!
 
The referee was absolutely shocking.

I don't think Biggar's decision at the end was as stupid as it first looked. If his kick stays in play and a Saracens player has to carry it over the line then it's an attacking lineout 5 m out. Not the worst idea in the world, just poor execution.
