Premiership Rugby 23/24 - Round 15

[TRF_Olyy]

Imagine if Worcester didn't go under and Saints had to keep Biggar at 10

 

[West Country Wail]

Excited by the prospect of Finn at 10 for England

Finn was prob always gonna leave Worcester once that contract was over

Has a team benefited more from the club collapse than Saints?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Got to feel with all the leavers saints have to win the premiership this season
Reminds a bit of tigers and how we lost Ford, Genge and Moroni

The exodus is in the forwards isn't it? Even assuming a strong lineup will take a couple of seasons for them to integrate with the saints game plan.

Aye, pretty sure he'd signed before they went under for the following season - be interested to know how much of that was due to financial uncertainty at wuss though, the writing was on the wall for a while

Bath did very well out of it as well, the impact their cavalry had last season was noticeable

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Did they say IFW wasn't in a realistic position to catch the ball? He literally catches it

Edit: Good refereeing, good contest with an unfortunate outcome - no fault of IFW

 

[Scotty]

Good bath try, stupid from Painter good decision to not award the try and wtf happened at that lineout, deserved try....score sucks but reflective of our errors.

 

[West Country Wail]

Those wonder tries of previous matches have gone to Hodge's head - pass the ball mate. You've for stardust off your right shoulder.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Baths goal line defence was immense there

Just did it again, 3 on 1 and he tries to go himself

I didn't see it but everything is IFW fault now.

This Hathaway kid is going to be next one England poach isn't it. Sigh.

Weird one, he got a hat trick but apparently was genuinely shocking in every other aspect of the game - was directly at fault for at least 3 Saracens tries
Before the tries started rolling in I saw Gloucester fans saying he should have his contract torn up haha

Really? lol. You can have him then.

Joking aside he's only a kid isn't he so mistakes are to be expected I suppose but 3 errors leading to tries is pretty bad to be fair.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah reading through Gloucester's fans forum it seems like it's not an isolated incident - talk that it's not (just) technique but instinct (positioning, timing, etc) that is all wrong, and that's harder to coach

Only 20(?) though - May's defence took a while to develop and eventually he became very good
A player that good going forwards gets more chances than one that isn't

 

[Which Tyler]

Truly spoken, like a fan of Denny Solomona's club

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

If a winger is having so much bearing on a loss then the whole team is doing something wrong

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Where was this Sale a few months ago ffs

Apart from IFW, I can't think of anyone recent? I can think of plenty going the other way …
