Saints vs Tigers

[Adam_P]

I think Furbank is the most naturally gifted player in the squad

[Banquo]

Furbank is class. The line to put Naiyaravoro in space was glorious. Then a lovely wrap around (before almost butchering it).

Played against his dad

Is there anybody from Bedford School whose dad you haven’t played with

Prob not. Though I coached Fraser’s dad too

[Banquo]

Looked like two offences there...or...

[Adam_P]

Naiyaravoro and Reinach grab the ball at the same time, and there is no ruck formed so its fine

[Banquo]

Saints excellent ball in hand; Tigers lineout is a shambles as is their defence.

They agree with you, but I thought Reinach had hands on first- I also thought the last pass was forward. It matters not what I think tho.

I'd say the ref's got that wrong - surely the ruck's formed as soon as Harrison bridges over? I thought the new laws didn't require one from each team.

No complaints on the scoreline as a whole though - we still look a shambles.

Saints lineout has been pretty crap too. All the set piece has been a mess really, but the open play from Saints has made up for it

Ah, thought you’d played with Dingwall’s dad too. I take back my flippant joke!

I have, hence ‘too’

Rick is only firmed if there is a Tigers player on his feet

Rick gets turned on by the strangest things.

What is the current law interpretation about SHs twitching a shoulder at the ruck, pretending to start a passing movement? A feint is a feint. Should it not be penalised? Reinach often does it.

As far as I'm aware the scrum half dummying is not allowed. However almost all 9s in the league do it on every box kick

I've heard the odd ref warn about it.

I like Robsons version, rather than a twitch, fake move to kick etc, he makes a sudden move to look at the chargers positions. Much easier to claim innocence.

Furbank is the new Foden

[Banquo]

Lol, Lol beat me to it; Tigers playing right into Saints hands

[Banquo]

Both Youngs have been pony today

Moon gives away a penalty, whilst being neck rolled

[twitchy]

Saints are great to watch when they chuck it about. Fantastic transformation when you think of the final years mallinder.

[Banquo]

Tigers tactics are brain dead. Hard to believe half backs are England’s starters tbh

[Adam_P]

That was Tigers best lineout so far. Hilariously bad

Have to ask, as it’s hard to be sure, do you follow Northampton ?

Haha, I am fully aware how one sided my live commentary is. I just can't help it. Especially against Leicester.
