Premiership Rugby 20/21 - Rd 20

[EdBirch]

Penalty count cost us again. 17 penalties is unacceptable.

 

[Jimbo]

Bigger just needs to stfu

Sleightholme has some real gas - Bassett looked like he was running through treacle comparatively

I hope we see him and OHC on the wings this summer, though I think Loader is ahead of OHC for Jones (he's name dropped Loader in the past - though IMO Hassell-Collins is the better player, though loader a bit more pure pace)

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Sleightholme needs to be in the A game at least.

 

[Reiser99]

Credit where credit due, what a tackle by Francis.

 

[Crash Hamster]

Ooh, Biggar's a lucky boy...

 

[Reiser99]

If it's been shown on TV then I'm assuming TMO has looked at it and decided it's fine, but surely it's worth a look.

 

[Reiser99]

That's an embarrassing try to concede.

It's a knock on, knocks it forwards out of his hands

Yeah, ref and TMO not had a good few minutes.

 

[JG-21]

So many inconsistencies with TMOs at the moment

 

[JG-21]

Disgraceful job by Graham Hughes

 

[Jimbo]

My word, what's a seat belt tackle then?

 

[Reiser99]

Graham Hughes got a bet on saints?

Agreed Tyron Green could also have some potential, worth keeping an eye on.

What in 5 years time?

tbf I didn't realise Greene was South African at first either, I presumed he was an academy kid

That was my assumption, learned something new there.

Believe he's EPQ somehow at the moment to be fair - was mentioned on the Quins board recently. Though, may have been confused with Lynagh who is also a fantastic England prospect!

I like both, but I'd have said the opposite. Hassell-Collins reminds me of a young Jonny May. Quick and elusive but more instinctive whereas Loader has pace, power and a bit more of a rugby brain.

I'd like to see both + Sleightholme play for England over the summer.
