It is also understood that as things stand, there will be no television match official (TMO) or outdoor broadcast facility at either of the rearranged round one matches.

Absolutely pathetic for a supposedly top flight sport

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

my favorite thing about the FA's decision was that they cancelled grassroots. You aren't allowed do your favorite bit of exercise and social activity because of current events. Alternatively your kid isn't going to be able to run around for two hours on Saturday morning, have fun with them the rest of the day.

The RFU somehow seems so reasonable here. IDK what was up with the premiership allowing a couple people to bock games.

Watson broken already?

Watson broken already?

Last I heard he's training just don't want to rush him.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Exeter 4 was offside when he pulled back Youngs then


REf missing like 5 Exeter faults there knock ons, forwards passes, running into his own players

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The knock on followed immediately by a massive forward pass was a bit on the nose

 

[Scotty]

Good turn over but Kata looks a big bloke.

And pass was quite close maybe abit forward...but clear knock on from townsend.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Irish with the first try of the season
Stokes keeps a kick in, Rona breaks down the wong, Donnell in support - lovely stuff
Worcester with close to 100% of possession before that

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Burns from hero to villain

Those are some big old in goal areas

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Honestly always thought the knocking ball out deliberately being a pen is dumb when it's knocked backwards

"Fair play" crap but them the rules.

Like anywhere else on the pitch and that's fine so why should it change due to the in goal area

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Water break?

Wtf is this ****?
Ergh honesty rather have water carriers back on just tell people to **** off if they are on the pitch when not allowed

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Water breaks are so dumb, they really went nuclear with their reaction

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

How was that not a pen on Ashton?

He didn't win the contest?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How was that not a pen on Ashton?

Tigers players were the ones who took him out

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tigers players were the ones who took him out

Woodburns trailing arm mate

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Water breaks are so dumb, they really went nuclear with their reaction

Rugby does that best doesn't bother to enforce any rules better to just go nuclear and change things stupidly

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Tomahawk chop....

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tigers need to give Saumaki the ball more on that wing

 

[Scotty]

Come on Chiefs! Good try.
