Premiership Rugby 20/21 - Rd 22

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Wasps scored a great try

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Both of Chiefs 5m lineout periods of play have ended in T Curry penalties, what a boy

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Kristen is a big loss

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Cole scored his first try in 122 games

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Shoulder to shoulder (we answer Ireland's call) for me

 

[Jimbo]

If that's shoulder to head there is no mitigation, he's followed through with his shoulder.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Weird mitigation,
If he'd not spun he'd be hit in the back of the head not the side, so still red

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Ewers a very very lucky boy if this is yellow.

 

[Reiser99]

That mitigation makes absolutely no sense. His height hasn't changed.

 

[Scotty]

Ewers a very very lucky boy if this is yellow.

Wow even i thought that should be a red?

 

[Jimbo]

Extremely poor reffing IMHO.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Wow even i thought that should be a red?

Yep, that's a red for me. Very glad it isn't as not having Ewers next week would've been pretty disastrous but I think Sale can feel very aggrieved by that.

 

[Gavin]

Weird mitigation,
If he'd not spun he'd be hit in the back of the head not the side, so still red

Thought there was clear disagreement between the referee and TMO.

TMO seemed to think a red, like me. Very lucky for the player.

 

[Reiser99]

So Sale get stronger the more cards they get, do they get weaker the more cards the opposition get?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

If Ewers does end up in front of the beak then that helps us massively next week
Most important player in the chiefs pack IMO (him and LCD)

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

This Sale defence is just brutal.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

It's funny the commentary talking about chiefs being 5m away with the line out but forgetting they are missing their 2 biggest guys nearly.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Chiefs score so many tries from 5m mauls, why don't teams just win penalties against them instead of conceding tries?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

"It's always high, shoulder to the head, reckless, but mitigation in that he spins before contact"

 

[Jimbo]

That was some skill from AJ
