Oh Prestwick, Thomas has been retired for just 2 years and you already have forgotten how to spell it ?
Sure, Castaignède is hard to replace. Back to Sarries, why not ? Provided that he plays, I don't really care where. It's to bad he rejected the offer of coming back to Toulouse as a flyhalf, after WC07.

A rotation with Jackson, Hougaard and Goode ? But Goode is a fullback, isn't it ? Or can he play flyhalf too ? I noticed the home/away thing too.[/b]

Aw poo, I feel really bad now for not spelling his name correctly

Goode is actually a fly-half by trade but he was moved to full back by Eddie Jones last season and has played there ever since. He played at fly half against Northampton last weekend and did very well behind a weak pack apparently.

Is Melck playing openside? or do the opensides at Sarries wear 6 now? [/b]

Melck has been playing at 7 since he came here. We've got Bigus Wickus at 6 who is more than enough thank you. Melck has been a real impact sub and has been fantastic as an openside!

Schalk f**king Brits = win/awesome/OVER 9000!!!1212.[/b]

He is pretty freakin awesome isn't he ?

also, I really thought you were all just joking around, but that is undeniably the biggest contingent of South Africans I have ever seen in a foreign club, you might as well be playing in the currie cup for goodness sake.

Yes he IS really freakin' awesome.

To be fair, this side isn't usually the one we trot out. Check the subs because we have about four or five Englishmen on there (Goode, Saull, Barrit and Penney) who would usually start straight away. So usually we have about five or six English players on there.

 

[Juggernaut]

Apologies for my ignorance, but when did Barritt became English??

Fiji - 2 (2 Starters)
Arg - 1 (0 Starters)
Wal - 1 (1 starter)

Taking advantage of Koplak, you say? I bet the boks will be starting with fewer South African born players...

 

[Boggle]

Shouldn't that be 9 SA players and 8 starters with Schalk Brits on the bench ?

 

[Bullitt]

It should indeed... Edited.

 

[Bullitt]

Kick-kick-kick... You'd think this was a soccer match...

 

[An Tarbh]

oh dear just turn on and see James Jones make a typical howler leading to a South African try, the mind boggles that one day in the near future this clown will ref a proper international.

 

[DuncTheDoodle]

What's he done? The TV's being hogged at the moment...

 

[Boggle]

That ball was definitely off of Ashley's hands, Saracens hard done by, but damn, it's been a much better performance by the Springboks.

still a player or two that keeps infuriating me, but the centers have been better, the backline itself has been much better, bar the first 10 minutes that were horrible.

 

[Bullitt]

That was Wembley karma biting Sarries on the arse for their lucky escape against Saints earlier this year when the TMO f***ed it. And the other Karma after Leeds' were screwed by Rose.

Sadly however the difference is when all is done, this game doesn't matter.

 

[Jer1cho]

So some guy just kicked the ball from 30m out, and it hit the crossbar. Half Time entertainment. He won £250 000! Mother F*cker!

 

[Bullitt]

Bad for the books...

Wembley rental per event: -£500,000 (-£500,000)
(est) 40,000 crowd at £10 a ticket: £400,000 (-£100,000)
Bar sales (est): £150,000 (£50,000)

Chav wins £250,000 crossbar challenge: -£250,000 (-£200,000)


Profitable evening this one! Unlucky Eddie G! :lol:


But... That says enough about this boring game when we're posting about the half time "Entertainment". Was that ******** "silent conductor" there?

 

[Jer1cho]

Hougaard made a funny kick in the first half... Anyway, great charge down try there by Joubert!

 

[Bullitt]

f*** me... Saracens have players who know how to run...

 

[Jer1cho]

Why is Earl Rose not screwing up? WTF?

EDIT: Our scrum is really starting to embarrass now. It's like we just forgot how... Also, some shocking defense there.

 

[Bullitt]

If the Clutching Straws bigade say Barrett is English more time...

Anyway, nice score that.

I can see the usual Springbok fall-asleep coming into effect; Sarries have upped their game no doubt, but the Boks are using a revolving-door method of defending now.

Must be what they learned in the Super 14 defences!

 

[Jer1cho]

Hougard is such a pussy. So glad he is gone.
