Premiership 24/25 - Round 12

[TRF_Olyy]

If Sleightholme and IFW are out for the summer (no idea what the surgery recovery timelines are for them) then Radwan in as the fast guy would be good - got a feeling they'd probably look younger though, maybe Tobias Elliot?

Always been a big fan of OHC - if Freeman goes on Lions it could leave the door open for him (especially as he's been in the A games)

Sleightholme is 8 weeks apparently.

Hell of a break, but Radwan defence was insane also.
Really hope OHC and Radwan both get England chances, OHC really grown as a complete wing and Radwan is so electric

Shout out to Woodward who I thought was really mature again, feel he might get a good chance to tour in the summer

Yeah. Some very tidy touches and really nice footwork for the second (I think?) try.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

On Pollock it's always easier to calm someone down than have to drag them to the fight. That'll come with time, but he's got a bit of something about him, let him mature, but don't try to turn him into a conformist automaton.

Bit of Quins shade from Ugo when talking about Sarriws
"You don't come to a game like this and rest your stars"


Edit: Flatman less subtle when talking about Quins and flat out saying they should've gone full whack

 

[TRF_Olyy]

A phase Dombrandt will want to forget

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Absolutely toothless

 

[McTallshort]

Quins playing too much in their own half

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Tough that one, he's relatively low cause he slips, but he's completely out of control and no bend of the waist when going into the contact area

Penalty only?


Edit: Just make me a ref already

 

[Lé Ddanno]

How many frikkin replays?!

 

[dgc47]

How many frikkin replays?!

None conclusive showing there's head contact

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Having all your internationals back is overrated

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yellow?

Evans is low but that's an arm to the chops, so high danger, high force, defender could've been low

Edit: hmmmm don't agree with that one, it was definitely worse than the one on Tompkins

 

[McTallshort]

21 unanswered points

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Hell yeeeaaaaaahhhh

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's huge for Quins,

That young 10 who came off the bench looked more like an assured veteran brought on to see off the game, what a performance

 

[Jimbo]

I only caught the last 25 it was all Quins, such a shame I've been to the Sarries vs Quins games at spurs ground the last two years and it hasn't even been close, gutted I didn't make this one!

Yeah, without wanting to sound smug, I did say Evans' call-up for Wales could be a good opportunity for Benson to lay down a marker. OK, he didn't start, but that was an excellent way to make a statement.

Almost reminded me of a young George Ford.

Jamie Benson, 5 from 5 with his kicking. One to watch. Well done to him.

Some of his kicks initially looked pretty wobbly and unconvincing but he nailed them, stats speak for themselves. Fair play!
