Premiership Rugby 21/22 - Rd 24

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Prem refs have gone down hill since JO was let go

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

What a game get in saints biased best match if season so far.
If Grayson goes Falcons get a decent 10 out played Smith tonight.

Enjoyable, except games with uncontested scrums don't count.

Totally farcical sight going uncontested when Hill was replaced by a prop with over 200 Premiership appearances.

Obviously Waller's a specialist LH, but even if he had been stuffed a bit at TH I suspect he'd have been able to play there safely enough or at least would have if he'd have been made to train for this contingency or play a certain number of second team games on the wrong side. Maybe there needs to be some form of dual side certification and perhaps a rule about how far a side can be shoved back with a non specialist in place. Limited contest would be better than uncontested.

Yes, Grayson did look good.

Agree, believe Manny has played abit of TH.
If world rugby ever de-powers scrums we will see mad running rugby like this game.
Defo prefer Grayson to Furbank as back up 10 behind Bigger.

Is that still rumoured? We've confirmed Schoeman and have Connon renewed for another 2 years and Louie Johnson...plus unknown about Joel Hodgson.

I'd be surprised if we sign him.

Even more so considering he would have been up against a Kerrod - a loosehead who until very recently had been a tighthead!

Ashton top try scorer!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That was some hit from Underhill - so close to being the setup to a good try, but the rip was completed as they hit the floor

Although I see why it's a penalty, it seems harsh as there wasn't much ripping going on, they hit the floor and he ended up with the ball.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Such a weird game, this
More TMO interventions in the first 12mins than in a regular game's full 80

 

[BrokenWing]

Didn't the referee just say "that's enough from the TMO now"

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Ashton hat trick

 

[BrokenWing]

Why was this a penalty and yellow for a trip rather than a penalty to Bath for the obstruction?

Absolutely bullshit card, Clarke even went off with a cut lip because of the shoulder to the face.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Painful watching Bath

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Hooper has just got to go, he's clinging on like a desperate turd as the whole club gets dragged down. Anyone with any sense of integrity would have fallen on their sword by now. Clearly none of the people at the top of the club really give a damn about the state it's in, it's just an old boys network. Until Bath enact wholesale changes, they are dead as a club.

 

[BPM]

Yep. From a Quins POV, it's very annoying to see Bath just rolling over. It's a local derby FFS - no spirit, no fight, just a passive, disorganised rabble.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Joe C looks so indecisive in what he's doing, especially on defence
I really hope he doesn't tour with England in the summer
Needs more time in the game to get his eye back

Looks like a man already going to Leicester
