[Digby]

Teams look strong bar perhaps the half backs

[Banquo]

Good back row battle.

[fivepointer]

Good battles all over, I think.

Wing, centre, front rows plus 2 good benches. Very good to see Underhill back.

[Mikey Brown]

I wish we were seeing Nowell 1-on-1 with Cokanisiga.

There's probably a website for that sort of thing, mate.

[Mikey Brown]

Trust you to lower the tone.

Who are supposed to be hating this week?

[Mikey Brown]

What?

[Mellsblue]

Hehe:

[Digby]

You laugh but Tommy Francis does actually have the nickname Mavis Cruet

[Banquo]

Lol @ Lol

[Banquo]

Lovely break and pass from JJ, Bath then made hard work of scoring in the end.

[Which Tyler]

What the hell was LNBD talking about that "tackle not completed" whilst he's literally crawling on all fours with Priestland on his back

[Which Tyler]

Out of interest, are you guys asking why I was getting excited about McConnochie in pre-season?
I still think he's an ideal FB, still a bit raw positionally, but so much potential

He’s an imbecile.

Joseph looking very sharp.

Not me, excellent 7's player. Where was his original XVs position?

Joe gets a bit flat footed in defence, he'll learn.

hence lol@lol. He's a rubbish pundit.

Yep, bar one pass, which actually hit a team mate running the wrong line, he's looked very good.

[Banquo]

What were Bath doing then? Lovely from Simmonds tho.

Wing

Needs (obviously) to get some time in XVs and at 15, though he looks a decent wing already

Mercer crocked? looks like ligament to me.
Interesting how JJ is floating about, continuing this second distributor thing I've see before.

(another plea to ban caterpillar rucks and box kick again)

[Which Tyler]

Bollocks.
Though I'd rather occasionally too optimistic than always too conservative

[Banquo]

Bath do like to shoot themselves in the foot.

And doubling up on errors
