I've listened to the explanation as to why the Sale try wasn't a knock on, but that seems like utter tosh to me. You see those given as knock-ons all the time.

Also, didn't they change the batteries in the ref coms before the start of the season?

Amount of them that I see that I think the same as the ref said...but it's never ever been ref'd that way. And that's what bothers me.

"He's not in a position to make the catch" as he almost makes the catch

6:2 strikes again (albeit later than usual)

Roebuck playing centre now

I get Quirke has potential but I feel Sanderson needs to leave Warr on longer when both fit

Warr is just the ideal 9 for Ford

Who are the main people Gloucester are missing cause they look toothless

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Was not expecting a BP win after that first....70mins

A lot to like in a number of individual performances but gameplan and accuracy (for the most part) not great - maybe to be expected with a new HC and AC

Quite enjoying this insight, can we expect it all season?

He needs to start changing from potential to performing soon...

Very enjoyable match, if not the best quality. It's been far too long.

Trying to figure out if the scoreline was flattering to Sale in the end or perfectly fitting. Gloucester were better than the result suggests with some spectacular defence but falling short at crucial moments. Subbing Tomos and the knocks to Clement and Gotovtsev whilst Sale came out firing after half time seemed to turn it. Byrne impressive.

Sale a well coached machine, they'll be up there come the end of the season. Congratulations on getting the first dub of the season.

That Sodike is a big lad. Be some unit if he puts a stone or two on which he should..

Quins looking real slick

What was Jarrods try like?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What was Jarrods try like?

He dropped the ball repeatedly, but somehow it went backwards, then his shorts fell down and he loudly pooed himself in front of the whole stadium - while the Bath players were laughing he tripped over his own feet and landed on top of the ball, which had been blown over the tryline by a strong breeze


(He hasn't scored, Will Evans got both)

 

[Rinkadink]

Dickson just missed 2 blatant b*th penalties [taking beyond and holding down at a ruck + illegal rolling on floor to stop turnover] and a knock on.

That's a long advantage for a knock on - I thought one ruck past the point of the knock on usually calls it over
