Booj was too slow for 13 at Bedford. He’s a 12 and nothing else.

The ref got slated for that by the commentators and the Tigers players were furious. The ref that day was absolutely awful for both sides. Parisse was none to pleased when the ref gave him a harsh yellow later in the game.

If that's a tackle then why didn't bristol have to roll away? If it's a maul, why aren't they done for collapsing?

Even I feel sorry for Nathan Hughes right now.

Ironically he’s an excellent kicker, big boot too

I liked Healey's comment that if the England management can't see that Willis is the best flanker, they should be replaced.

You’d like to think so, but agree with you, doesnt seem to be in recent times. Only time in recent memory was Care’s purple patch a couple years ago

I didn't meant to say he can't kick well, but is he best used box-kicking the volume/consistency that Eddie would require?
It's a genuine question I really haven't seen him for 80 minutes for a long time tbh.
Aha. He strikes.

Brilliant by Robson, but not sure Brizz will be happy as Carley was not paying attention. Always play to the whistle or summat

Good enough box kicker. I don’t quite understand what you are trying to say tbh

Thank you Carley!
How often do refs chalk those quick ones off for no good reason.

That try never should have been allowed. But then it was a joke the idea that Hughes had been legal at the back of the maul

Quick thinking by Robson but surely you can't tap behind the ref when he's still talking.
That try kills the game, Wasps have dominated.

Yes to the latter. On the former, Carley messed up twice imo- listening to himself speak and not paying attention

Why does Willis need to come out for the first time? He joined fine, and it swung around, he doesn't have to let go.

That kills the game you’d think. Just hope Wasps get some of their wounded back.

Only reason Carley was explaining was because bristol players were complaining on the floor.

As I’d conjectured before, think Carley is trying to mark his card

He should have been paying attention to the game if he didn’t call time off
