Premiership Rugby 21/22 - Rd 25

[TRF_Olyy]

Very close but right call

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Looks like Exeter's season is done

 

[Jimbo]

Typical, pen kick clear, sale victory

Brings us to 64 points so if we win next week(BP Win) vs Quins and Saints and Gloucester get pretty much nothing from the last 2 games and Sale go away....a hope.....so in conclusion yes our season is done.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That defensive set was easily our best play of the game

Scoreline looks exciting, did you watch it?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Second half reinforced my opinion that Tom Willis is really unlucky to be usurped by Barbeary, especially for an England spot

Barbeary's increased fitness/conditioning (or maybe his latest injury?) seems to have taken the edge off of his otherworldly carrying power - Willis actually looked the more powerful in traffic today
Take away the firepower of Barbeary and I don't think there's any contest between the two players

No i didnt as it wasnt on BT sport, just watched the Wasps game. That game and the 2 point loss to wuss(after our early red card) we would have won last season, pulled it back but i dont know what it is this season but just not finishing things off. Injuries havmt helped tbf weve had some bad ones but other issues to IMO.

 

[Jimbo]

Fair play to Sale very hard to score points against, they will be even more of a threat with the huge upgrade that is Ford (according to AH) anyway.

He's by far the better all round player as well. I was really surprised he didn't get a camp callup and then I remembered who's in charge.

Slight side note, Barbeary's defence still leaves big questions for me, and so seeing all the armchair pundits suggest him at 6 with Dombrandt at 8 is ******* funny.

 

[Jimbo]

Barbeary has not been the same post injury and as identified he has had obvious vulnerabilities his ceiling is pretty high but it needs to be remembered he originally played hooker which doesn't seem to be in his future, he needs a few seasons to really learn 8 or 6 before he can even be considered in the conversation of international duty.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Care seems to be in his blind alley mode.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

he originally played hooker

Barely any evidence of that tbf

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Peak shitshow quins try that

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hahaha what a try
Give the Gloucester player a mark in the assist column


Skivington can stfu about Ackerman being in the England squad now

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Cracking finish that

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Neck roll on the quins player was far worse than the one on Ludlow
Ludlow put his head under the arm of the guard and drove upwards, basically forced himself into a headlock, immediately after the quins prop(?) was full on twisted out of the ruck

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

This is fun to watch. Tackling is awful though.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Awful? It's bordering on optional

Clearouts are shunt as well

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

For being such a stickler on the ruck, the calls are pretty ****
