Premiership Rugby 22/23 - Rd 15

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Borthwicks at the game and Exeter and saints forwards all go to pot!

Crazy thing is the directive to tackle lower so much so that the player literally had no opportunity to move or re-adjust, sometimes Rugby incidences need to be realised.

Penalty the other way IMO, he's made that dangerous by jumping when there was no need… He also nearly kicks the guy in the face. The protection in the air should only be for fielding kicks I think.

Also a penalty to jump into a tackle. Really shouldn't have been a pen against Dingwall.

God if we could have sorted out out set piece this today this score could be insane. We look good but damn scrums/lineouts are terrible.

 

[Jimbo]

Terrible decision from Mitchell to pass thst, was never on.

 

[Scotty]

Slade read Mitchell like a book for that interception.

 

[Scotty]

Yes Hodge!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Mitchell very good player but crumbles in tight games

 

[TRF_Olyy]

These conditions + the new sped up scrum rules could be carnage today

 

[Jimbo]

Not to take anything away from Sale, Quins are dire.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Quins stepping up this half, and we're looking much sloppier
Would be feeling much better if James had managed to keep hold of the pass just before halftime

Really generous from Barnes on that Tuilagi hit,
There's mitigation from red, but it's still a shoulder to the head - penalty minimum, probably yellow because he's not tried to make a legal tackle at all

Wonder if Earls being retracted made a difference to Wayne's judgement on this.

 

[Scotty]

How is Lrish is 9th 5 points away from being 3rd? Its odd ive never seen it so close.

Fixed this for you.

Its a complicated one (doing the rounds on twitter). Tuilagi is really low and does look like hes making some attempt to wrap in early stage and the slip just makes everything be in the wrong position.

Certainly a penalty though

No way is it red as many people are suggesting with the new guidance allowing a falling player being used for mitigation.

It's not often that my childhood club are in a neck and neck competition with Sale Sharks but here we are.
