Lynagh looks like he plays the game faster and with more intensity than his teammates. Can see him destroying Australia one day

Harry Randall looked very sharp today - we should get him capped asap to prevent him getting poached.DragsterDriver wrote: ↑Sat Dec 26, 2020 4:59 pm So does Marcus. Bit of a shit the chiefs game overlapping!

The glaws 9 that came off the bench looked special.

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
De Klerk should have been red for reckless boot.
Wasps 12 a yellow for the headclash.
I do find the reffing inconsistency baffling at times-
It’s like they don’t watch any games they’re not starring in.

Brilliant steal and charge from Barbeary to set up Wasps 2nd try.

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
Excellent away win for Wasps - didn't expect a win with the side they picked - good signs in terms of depth.

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
Looked a bit nasty for Kibirige, did I catch the Wasps coach saying that he was up and talking?
Sale appear to have lost a bit of their power in recent weeks - did the thought of what Diamond might say to them give them that extra 5% in the past?

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
Blackett seems to have them heading in the right direction - and has a few very good youngsters establishing themselves in the team.
Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
Atkinson looks very assured for someone who was still at school 6 months ago.
The injuries to Barbary and Kibirige ware concerning and how Faf didn't even get penalised let alone carded is beyond me given Odogwu got a red at Sale for similar reckless use of the feet into a player's head.

That was a lovely piece of work by Atkinson to score his try - very impressive player considering his lack of experience.

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
Get the feeling you’d need to produce a shank from your sock at times to get carded.

And BBC News showed a still of Yarde landing on Kibirige while the latter was prone,

They have done so much better without me watching - I fear I might have to do a Chief Wiggum.ovalball wrote:Blackett seems to have them heading in the right direction - and has a few very good youngsters establishing themselves in the team.

Too many South Africans.
Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread


We'll have to set up a Wiggy style playpen for you !
They are definitely playing better - much more competitive upfront and don't concede a try every time the oppo get a maul going in the 22. Barbeary is a huge find and the two young FHs are great.
Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
Bugger - Barbeary out for minimum 6-8 weeks - possibly longer if scans show that surgery is required.

Worcester Quims off. too many Quims with Covid

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
Briz 7- 5 Falcons so far 

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
Decent game. 26-17 now but pretty close all through the game. Sinkler has made a difference since he came on. Falcons were getting some good traction in the scrums and mauls - could well have scored more tries.
Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
That was disappointing, just marginally forward on the offload - would have been the try of the century
Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
Randall having another really good game - as is Hughes.

29-17 FT. Good win for Bristol against a tough Falcons side. Falcons will be kicking themselves for letting a few tries go begging.

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
Didn't catch the game but the Brizz hooker Kloska is getting a lot of love on Twitter on his debut performance - how was he
Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
Yep - very good. Not flashy but got stuck in and showed up well - good appetite for work and did the basics well. MoMopenclashXX wrote: ↑Fri Jan 01, 2021 10:31 pm Didn't catch the game but the Brizz hooker Kloska is getting a lot of love on Twitter on his debut performance - how was he
