Premiership Rugby 19/20 - Round 2

[TRF_Olyy]

Need to stop the pens although I think one or two could have gone the other way. To be level in spite of that is pretty decent so if you can convince the ref that Chuffs are infringing then Barf should be able to close this out. Your forward boshing looked the far more intense of the two sides when you got going near the line, no mean feat.

One question I have is what happened to starting 9? Must have missed it in the rain and leaves.

I'm only dipping in and out of the game but I saw him go off for a HIA in the first half, presuming he didn't come back from it

 

[Which Tyler]

Stupid!

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Wtf was the Bath player thinking? Ball comes out at his feet so he just looks at it, decides he isn't interested and just grabs onto the ruck. Absolutely braindead.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Really wasted that opportunity.

Am I right in saying that you aren't allowed to just stop straight on the ball when it pops out the ruck though? I think you have to stay on your feet

 

[TRF_Olyy]

These conga line rucks are an absolute joke

 

[Every Time Ref]

Priestland is playing well, it's his kind of game.

I mean the commentator was saying pretty much exactly the same thing as I typed it, but I thought of it first I swear

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

They have got to remove these ridiculous caterpillar rucks.

Is that Chris Cook giving away a brainless penalty? Yes, yes it is.

 

[Which Tyler]

Zach!

Is that Chris Cook giving away a brainless penalty? Yes, yes it is.

At least once every 40 minutes, often twice, sometimes enough to earn a card for repeated offences on his own

 

[Every Time Ref]

What's going on with Bath not bothering to protect Cook's clearances though?

And what the **** was that? Pathetic tackling

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Thought Mercer had ****** that really badly then, but that burst of acceleration was quality

His positioning was a little off, but I won't judge him by fullback standards, that was excellent work

 

[Abraxaz]

Sorry but what exactly does Hogg bring to this team?

You can't dive on a ball as it's leaving a ruck. I'd argue the ball had been out and the bath player covered it up. You also can't put the ball back into the ruck with the bath player did.

He's the only player in either side who's been making breaks....

Thanks

If I'm bath I'm ****** that the clock didn't start until the ball was put into scrum

I am a Bath fan, I'm too busy ro be pissed about an extra couple of seconds. Besides, they were pretty slow stopping the clock.


Sets things up nicely for a huge breakfast and a huger match in the morning

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

The ground must be so waterlogged to be getting cut up like that.

 

[Which Tyler]

Not to mention the standing water

Cuthbert?

Anyhoo, called it Good win, tough conditions and beating up Exe is very very hard. Doyle scrum reffing is weird but otherwise okay.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Cuthbert?

True, broken player though, plus it was only once, Hogg made several
