[Ragey Erasmus]

For the first time in a while, I feel this is a game Bath should win. Naturally this means we will lose.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Any Worcester fans know if Mills is injured or just rested?

He is benching at 23 isn't he?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Mako must spend a goddamn fortune on contact lenses, he loses them every single game

 

[Reiser99]

So...Farrell carded on reputation? Don't completely agree with lawro as he jerks to the pictures of Farrell, I felt the arm was swinging and it's Ashton's hands in the way that stopped the impact being worse.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

On first view I thought it was barely a penalty, though I'm on a stop-penalising-seatbelt-tackles crusade

I can see why it looked like that, but I still think the impact was limited due to Ashton's hand/arm in the way. Having said that it's already been mentioned that his tackle technique will get him trouble further if he keeps it up.

Aye, that replay they showed a couple of minutes ago showed it a bit better, and also showed why Carley went straight to his pocket, as it was the angle he saw it from

 

[Reiser99]

Hmm Farrell being spoken to about the way he speaks to officials...sure that's come up before.

 

[Jimbo]

Fair play to Sale, not convinced on all the scrum penalty's though to use a phrase sale fans will be familiar with 'the officials are making it up'.

 

[Reiser99]

Agree with Ugo completely there. Should have let the quick lineout go and spoken to Sarries after. They could then have had their little chat while wait for the conversion.

 

[Mumbles119]

Ha, double Curry there getting the rip on Spencer.

 

[Jimbo]

How good is Faf, is it too soon to consider Sale ***le contenders, playoffs come the end of the season.

 

[BPM]

Well played Sale. Faf, James and Curry (x2) were excellent.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Sam James and Ben Curry 4 England

 

[TommiG88]

Can James play 12?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yup, used to play there when partnered with Addison or Leota, who preferred 13
