U18 Academy League

Last round today
Glos 14-46 Bath
Sarries 42-12 Quins
Bristol 45-17 Exeter

So southern group is 1. Bath (20), 2. Saracens (20), 3. Harlequins (19), 4/5 Bristol/Gloucester (10), 6. Exeter (2)

Google doesn't want to tell me other two results (Leicester v Sale and Newcastle v Yorkshire), PRL doesn't care yet, and I can't be arsed to hunt, but Northampton top the group with 20, undefeated.

Should be a hell of a final! Saints have looked very impressive!

[Captainhaircut]

Sean Sharp certainly looks a prospect.

19:05: Final - Northampton Saints vs Bath Rugby

Same Final last year as I recall.

[Epaminondas Pules]

Sean Sharp certainly looks a prospect.

I’d be very surprised if he doesn’t get international recognition this year. That said it is a very competitive age group in the backline. But he does look to have a certain something. Been outstanding for Seaford!

Looking forward to this one

For anyone interested, Bath's ones to watch are 9, 10, 12 (MearsJr, Linegar, Treacy)
Linegar especially at 10 - I'd be happy for him to be in the U20s already

Surprised there's no McKinight or Ridgeway

Bugger!

Better team won. Saints rolled out their game plan, and cut out their errors in the 2nd half.
We didn't, panic set in, and didn't deserve any more than we got.

[Epaminondas Pules]

Bugger!

Better team won

Aye. Saints just had too much and Bath tried to hard to rely on plan A of using the monster pack. Shame cause the Bath backs are more than able to cane anyone. Saints tempo made the difference along with individual errors at crucial times. Saints were a hit lucky with the 3rd try and the tackle on Mears looks to have originated from an offside position, though it was close.
