Harley in the 2nd row is far worse than Fusaro on the bench. To be down only 2 locks and to be fielding Harley there in big games is abysmal.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:Fusaro lol. Is there a club with worse back row depth across Europe?
Niko, Seymour & George are players who, on their day, can deliver X factor performances. I do not think a conservative game plan is the way to beat Saracens but we'll see.

Promising start but two fairly dim mistakes from Hastings in a row.

Good start in the scrum by Kebble.

Thats pretty poor defence to be honest. 3 players marking Vunipola rather than marking the men. You can't do that on your own five metre line.

So that soft underbelly was resolved in the off-season then...

Having watched Saracens defeat Quins last week I've already grown pretty tired of watching their players fly in at all angles and off their feet and never get called.
That following phase kind of showed why you'd put 3 defenders on Vunipola.

That's what sarries are good at. Soaking up pressure without conceding and then scoring.

Not on your own 5 though. You have to back your guys to make contact with him at least.Mikey Brown wrote:Having watched Saracens defeat Quins last week I've already grown pretty tired of watching their players fly in at all angles and off their feet and never get called.

5 or 10? I can't work out if we're talking about the same situation.
I wasn't suggesting is was a good defensive setup from that lineout in midfield.

Even I could tell that try was in touch earlier in the move, and I’m over 100 miles away. That said, can’t complain at being 10 points down at the moment.
I am enjoying the Glasgow fans’ booing! Boooo!

Why did VDM not give that?!
Ah. I guess Strettle may have got there.

Looked like Huw Jones took a headbutt off his own player there.

7 of 11 rucks in that set by Sarries had players go off their feet.Mikey Brown wrote:Having watched Saracens defeat Quins last week I've already grown pretty tired of watching their players fly in at all angles and off their feet and never get called.
What are you meant to do against that?

Good defence. Exceptionally surprised the ref gave that.

I think that's the first time I've seen Dunbar touch the ball.

Think it was Dunbar that head-butted Jones. Not sure.

See if Glasgow would focus on doing the basics rather than the nonsense afters they'd be a far better side. Daft by Brown.
