Gloucester on great form atm - really peaked at the right time of the year, and have (as far as I can tell) everyone they need fit

Should be a great match - would love to see Gloucester win the whole thing this year

Vbookie - Saracens vs Gloucester

Sarries vs Gloucester

 

[Teh Mite]

It's all Kicking off in Watford

And the Tractor Boys are up for a ruck too!

Plenty of name calling and willy waving to start preceding. A repeat/escalation of the Kingsholm affair (1 2 3)on the cards?

 

[HowUnfortunate]

Going on the last match between these two, I can't see anything other than a Sarries win. Gloucester are in some good form, but Saracens have too much quality.

 

[gingergenius]

****, almost a perfect start. great tackle lawson.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Saracens bossing this game - Gloucester are just giving them everything through knockons and silly infringements

 

[gingergenius]

can't believe i was able to stream the game last week perfectly and this week is ridiculously laggy... it's as if that **** murdoch knows i won't give him a penny.

edit: think i might have found one

What's Murdoch got to do with ESPN?

 

[gingergenius]

you get it with sky don't you...

 

[gingergenius]

**** me are the touch judges from today and yesterday competing to make abysmal decisions???

 

[Teh Mite]

So? ESPN is Disney, Sky is News Corp.

Ford don't give a crap if you're unhappy with a Vectra.

 

[gingergenius]

if we lose this now we'll have only ourselves to blame. shocking performance so far.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Burger late hit on Burns not being picked up on was mad, it wasn't even as if he was comitted, he watched him pass then went in!

 

[gingergenius]

very happy, but if we play like that at twickers we're ****ed.

Can't believe Gloucester spurred the great opportunity at the end to get a drop-goal. The work for the try that Gloucester scored was excellent with Burns bursting into the line to release Sharples for the easy 2 on 1. Simply play at its finest. Sharples, Burns and May from Gloucester look like very good prospects, and Farrell will be excellent in years to come.

Not a great spectacle but good to see the top two teams rightfully contesting the final.

Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu isn't happy:

"I would say the referee was a joke but I'd probably get fined for it so I won't," Tweeted the Samoan.

"Fair play Sarries. We score 20 more tries than them and the only try in the semi. Horribly boring but very clinical. Fair play.

"We scored two tries. One disallowed. No wonder my super15 friends are making jokes about northern hemisphere rugby. Boring rugby wins.

"The only semi-final that can't sell out!

"Farrell put more bombs on us than the U.S did on Osama Bin Laden."

Must be the weekend for Samoans making dicks of themselves. First Manu then him.

Edit:
Reading his twitter account, the bloke is a complete prick

maybe if he hadn't made two schoolboy errors when fielding kicks in the first half then Farrell might have tried a different tactic... As it is, bombs seemed quite sensible.

And he needs to stop feeling hard done by, we beat them twice in a fortnight, we won more games than anyone else, and scoring one fancy try from charging down a drop goal does not make your team exciting. Even though Sarries played their worst game I've seen all season (besides the double header vs Irish) we still played more rugby than Gloucester yesterday.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

He seems to have forgotten that Saracens had a try disallowed as well
