Ref having a shocking homer. Rhodes and Vunipola continually falling the wrong side of rucks and obstructing Glaws. Also letting the tackler get away with not releasing . Agree Glaws are going to get a hiding !

10-17 half time. Second wasps try came from obvious blocking, but hey ho. Sale really need to learn to take their chances. It was marginal, not obvious, and it did get looked at, so on balance that was a rub of the green call. You have to say Barnes and the 4th official have been as near spot on as...

Scrums a joke too...

With my Chiefs' hat firmly in place, LCD, Armand, Kvesik and Simmonds not in the England training squad, Eddie Jones can suck my dick.

Simon's cat videos are always well drawn and worth watching.

Glaws starting to look quite promising here, came back well.

Looks like your wish may well come true tonight ! The Sharples try was pretty well worked.

Well, that was good !

First time I've seen Briz this season and they look impressive. Far more commitment than I'd expected and some ridiculously good players that Lamb has brought in. Glaws are going to struggle here , it will be an interesting case of can Cips impose himself when under pressure. Briz lucky not to have ...

Breaking: England’s top rugby clubs unanimously agree sale of a majority stake of Premiership to private equity firm CVC is “not their preferred option”. Don’t reject takeover offer, & will explore outside investment “as a matter of urgency”, but only want to sell minority stake. Sounds smart to me...

Great game of rugby. Exeter's superior organisation and execution under pressure seeing them to the win. Good game from the referee too. Good summary. Great to see rugby like that in the Premiership. Pests probably have the quality of players to make greater incremental gains once they bed in , so ...

Based on the Saints v Quins game, how poor must Sale Sharks be ? Discuss.

Backwoodsman1

If the Tigers want to get back to being the feared team of old they need to sack that spoofer MOC . Poison isn't the word. Too conservative, no bringing through of academy and bosh tactics. Evidently the club wanted some continuity after Cockerill's reign was ended. I was particularly heartened by ...

Trust Eddie to watch the wrong game !

Glaws looking lively ! Big fan of Val L-R , could be a good bet moving forward.

Backwoodsman1

He did a good interview with Ugo a couple of months ago, the thing that struck me was that he took no personal responsibility for any of previous affrays it was always someone else's fault, circumstances, press following him around etc. So unless he starts taking any personal responsibility for his...

Sad for Nieve, but what G did was also special !
Arguably the best stage I can remember , ever.

Ashton to sale. Chris, not Brian. Good - Another decent option at FB for England. I wonder if he has been encouraged to make the move by Eddie. Be amazed if he wasn’t- to play wing though. This could be a very timely move for England. Ashton still has the ability to be a front line contributor and ...

The aerial game is shambolic. Kicks from Ford and Young’s are rarely contestable, and when they are fannies like May and Brown rarely collect. Two very poor knock ons from Brown today and he has been moved to wing for his aerial prowess.Our kicking game therefore just hands possession away, which i...

was Isiekwe injured or hooked? The Saffa commentators never mentioned Shields coming on Hooked. He wasn’t very effective in contact and was chasing the game. He was making a ton of tackles and looked powerful in contact. It made no sense to hook him, especially given having no real second row on th...

Not half as embarrassing as not having a lock on the bench to bring on.

This is now starting to backfire on the libs. Longer this goes on the more damage it will do. So, the reality challenged on PR line up to condemn a third rate comedienne for a poor joke about the Rosa Kleb of Democratic politics.

I still want to see Genge and Sinks but this tour is too soon for that. Disagree. The sooner the better. See if they can handle the pressure. For me, they are both still too easy to wind up and a savvy front row could have at least one of them in the bin or worse PDQ. Both still benefit from a calm...

Welcome to the wonderful world of a police force where the upper echelons are largely graduates of Common Purpose training and promotion panels !

Doesn't look like the great escape is on Exeter predictably all over LI. Unlucky only to be 7-0 up Simmonds looking very good Edit - And Simmonds goes in for a winger's try down the right touchline. 14-0 Edit - Simmonds again from a maul. They are a lot better than Quins... 21 - 0 That was a stella...

As long as lcd throws the ball in reasonably he’s head and shoulders above the competition. Sods law. Last week Jones was at Sandy Park and the lineout went missing. This week its 100% at half time. Taylor is actually the sort you want to bring on at 60 minutes, when the opposition are a bit gassed...

Chiefs playing some impressive power rugby against Glaws . Hepburn, Armand , LCD etc really driving into them. The only bad thing is Jones is there and the lineout hasn't been its usual smooth self.
Slade is looking foxy too.

When you explain your training regime to the Doc and they show you your hip x-ray , smirk and say '' I think you've rather been overdoing things''. Then explains that they really don't recommend hip replacements too early. You can then look forward to viewing the weather forecast and predicting whic...

Hermes, its probably worth pointing out that responding logically to Farva is an exercise in futility - he will simply respond with Guardianesque levels of dishonesty.

Yes , he looks very composed - as does Townsend , I love the unfussy way Townsend distributes the ball . Also I like the way Baxter leaves Pelow to run the AW team and trusts the team who have got them to the final.

Backwoodsman1

The rest of his game is so good it more than makes up but hey ho Yoda knows best... apparently! England incumbents are judged on what they can do - everyone else on what they can't or at least that's how it seems to me. May certainly wouldn't get in the Wasps side ahead of Wade niether Wigglesworth...

Good though, great game for the neutral ! Might not be a fashionable thing to say with some, but I'd actually prefer to see Wade in the team over May. I thought May's poleaxed steer impression was very good.

Foley is a fairly pedantic twat, very poor feel for the game , allowing Sarries to work the card clock .

Backwoodsman1

Well, still needs something to get the game up and running. Quins really need to try something other than forwards boshing it up. Horwell unlucky with that last penalty, but bad miss by Chisolm for Maro's try.

Backwoodsman1

Looking forward to seeing Ben Earl off the bench for Sarries - he could be a good 'un.

Thank you, Ovalball , that was one line of reasoning that needed knocking on the head !
