Premiership Rugby 18/19 Round 9

[Which Tyler]

Yeah, combine both backrows and both back3s, and this could be a cracker.
If it goes to form, it's more likely to be a cripple-fight!

Took me a couple rereads, but I assume you mean "backrows" and "cracker"...?

Looking forward to it as I haven't seen Bath in a few weeks, the look of the weather isn't promising though is it. Best we can hope for maybe is a low-error, high octane physical battle. That Bath win, obviously

I'm watching this game solely for the implications it has on the forum

Eh?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Eh?

If we lose I'm banning everyone apart from Tigers fans

 

[Which Tyler]

Eh?

Tigs and Olyy are keeping an eye on the relegation battle to see which of them will be playing with themselves as the only forum-er interested in the Championship next year

 

[Which Tyler]

Now that aspect of defence is not an issue for JoCoka

 

[Every Time Ref]

Hate agreeing with Lol but that was a yellow I think

 

[Which Tyler]

Ref standing in the line of the pass twice there - or was it thrice?

I saw that, thought I must have imagined it

Penalty should be against Faf, not Roko

 

[TRF_Olyy]

In this day and age that's a yellow, it was an intentional hit in the air.

That said, the 2nd maul collapse was probably a yellow so evens out

 

[Which Tyler]

Intentional? He was committed before Ashton even looked like leaving the ground unnecessarily.
Youncan aegue that Roko should keep hisnhead up longer, but i still favour more common sense, and say that the player creating the dangerous situation is at fault.

Salem twice playing the role of Bath's SH at a ruck should be penalised at some stage

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Didn't try and stop or pull out, it was a full on tackle in the air not a collision or anything

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Weird penalty,
Louw did nothing wrong,
Thought walker not rolling (initially he was lying on the ball) but ref said he was pinned/OK (which I like in a referee)

Seemed to penalise Flouw for taking out the 9, but he legally cleared out someone else who fell onto Faf

 

[Which Tyler]

I never said that it wasn't a tackle; just that he had no way of knowing it would be in the air until it was too late.

Les face it, the only reason Ashton jumped at all was to milk the penalty, with the decision coming after Roko was committed to the tackle

 

[Every Time Ref]

Nice vision from Willison

Horrible second bounce, just needed it to sit up

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Has a sugar daddy but can't get the power to work.

 

[Which Tyler]

How did that injury happen? Did I blink and miss some actual rugby without play moving anywhere all?


ETA: OK, a scrum that didn't get as far as starting
