Premiership 24/25 - Round 12

[Which Tyler]

Sometimes I dislike "advantage over" as an automatic response for kicking the ball.
Anything else, and it's a bath scrum, where were on top.

ETA, Muir is going to be dining out on that for the rest of his career, and may mention it once or twice when Santi arrives in July

Hilarious,

The perm and moustache combo really added to the bewildered look on his face

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Fasogbon seems to set up way higher than even his loosehead and hooker, at the scrum - he's 6ft4 and that's at least 2 inches taller than any international tighthead I could be bothered to quickly Google, wonder if it could be a hindrance at the highest level?
It's not even competitive between him and Obano so far - on setup Fasogbon is having to angle down so much because his hips are a lot higher than the Bath front row, can't be good for a power base

Uini Atonio - 6'5
Tamaiti Williams - 6'5
Tyrel Lomax - 6'4
Ofa Tu'ungafasi - 6'4
Pasilio Tosi - 6'4
Oli Jager - 6'4
Angus Ta'avao - 6'4
Frans Malherbe - 6'3
Carl Hayman - 6'4

Think scrummaging at that kind of height can definitely have its disadvantages but can just as easily be a real weapon if utilised correctly. Perhaps Fasogbon should go and do a couple of seasons learning in NZ since so many of the list above are from down there…

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Same height as Joe Heyes also tbh
It does feel like he has a lot to learn in terms of positioning though

 

[BPM]

Which is no real surprise given how inexperienced he is. He'll probably learn more from this kind of experience than he will from the more successful games TBH.

I missed the game but how was Fosogbons scrummaging?

Got better as it went on - first few scrums he got demolished but he made adjustments and it was steady the rest of the game
Think the first 4(?) scrums were all penalties against him, then none of the following

It's funny that on tv, heyes looks average height and Fasogbon looks really tall. Tv can be very deceiving.

Yeah, gun to my head I would've said Ben Earl was like 5'8, maybe 5'10 tops - turns out he's just over 6ft
