Premiership Rugby 18/19 - Rd 11

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Bath moaning about Genge no arms tackle but it wasn't even a tackle so how can the no arms play into it?

 

[Which Tyler]

JP shoulda stopped that a couple of seconds earlier there

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Yeh JP needed to blow as soon as it was heading to the physios.

To be fair I think you're right on that one. He pulled the arms out after Louw jumped IMO.

Another game where all the chat is about the ref unfortunately...

Welcome to the modern game I guess.
So many rules and with so little clarification.

This game is nuts

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Underhill's carrying has been looking seriously impressive recently

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Anyone but Underhill!!!!

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

I've never thought of Ford as being very fast but between that and running down Ashton a couple of times in that BaBaas game, he must be pretty rapid

 

[Which Tyler]

He's always been fast, has run down a few wingers.

This time, he was helped a touch by Tomorrow being held back, and the head start that Ugo isn't allowing for

 

[Which Tyler]

Ruaridh!
Hope that's not in touch

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

classy finish that.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Vuna looks like he has been to the Zebo school of wingers with that belly.

 

[Which Tyler]

Glad we had that explanation, couldn't see any reason to blow

 

[Which Tyler]

This is slimline compared to when he arrived!

For a match with no particular agro on show. It's a hell of an attrition rate!

maybe Bath are making up form out small injury list so far this season

It's a very fast game.

Time of year as well for Injuries.
Tigers lost Spencer and Thompson in last weeks win.
Bath look like they might have lost Garvey, Underhill and Catt.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

The breakdown has been seriously competitive as well

 

[Aristodemus]

It's been a really enjoyable game, just hope Underhill is OK and it's just a minor injury.

Spoke too soon

Is the spitting really that cut and dried? I've watched the video several times and it looks like spray as he shouts rather than deliberately spitting IMO.

If he did spit, there's no excuse whatsoever and I'd have no issue with a lengthy ban, but I'm not wholly convinced he did.

The 'stamp' was a wind-up rather than outright vicious. The neck roll was far worse IMO. All di%k moves mind.

Gotta agree with that - the "spit" didn't look at all like he was gobbing on Young to me.

The "stamp" was more of a standing on the ankle - almost definitely intentional, worthy of a moderate ban. Not necessarily massively dangerous, but has the potential to be, and just a tad unnecessary.
