Northampton vs Wasps

[Mellsblue]

Shall we discuss the match?

As long as you’re not a kiwi clogging up a Prem academy.

No, just a Saints fan who very much lets their bias get in the way

[Adam_P]

Good work from Gibson for that try

[Mellsblue]

Haha.

[Adam_P]

Saints are being killed by many, many stupid penalties

[Mellsblue]

Can England have Francis as a restart special team? .......and not have clog hands Burrell chasing.

[Mellsblue]

Saints are being killed by many, many stupid penalties

Tom Wood’s modus operandi.

[Mellsblue]

Last season Wasps would’ve scored that.

[Adam_P]

Robson has now tackled both Wood and Gibson with a headlock unpenalised

[Mellsblue]

If that’s deliberate then it’s a pen try.

[Adam_P]

Got away with 2 tries there, although I think the call on Foden was on the harsh side as he was hitting the ball up

[Mellsblue]

Agreed. I think he’s genuinely gone for that.

[Mellsblue]

Great hands from Johnson and Launch in the build up to that.

[twitchy]

Hope ED is ok.

[Stom]

The BBC website has gone crazy on this. Apparently Wade converted his own try, and Mullan scored a penalty!

[Adam_P]

Wade did convert his own try

[Stom]

Wade did convert his own try

Well that's interesting...

And Mullan?

[Adam_P]

That is some very shoddy defending for Bassetts try

[Mellsblue]

The BBC do have form. They had Paul Tupai, our 40ish year old lock, down for a conversion against Bristol. Now, I’m as bias towards Bedford players as they come but there is no way Toops could successful kick for the sticks even from bang in front.

[Mellsblue]

That is some very shoddy defending for Bassetts try

Yep.

[Adam_P]

Lost count of the unpenalised high tackles from Wasps today

[Adam_P]

Saints are firmly back into the dross of the last few seasons, after giving us hope earlier in the season. Created very little in attack, conceded many turn overs while making none of our own. Pretty poor all round today.

[fivepointer]

Yep, Saints unimpressive with and without the ball.

Wasps are back it seems. Played some good stuff today and looked a lot better. Off the bench, Willis looked good again.

England will be concerned about the guys who went off injured Francis, Mullan and Daly.

[Timbo]

Wasps looking close to back to their best. Throw in the likes of Lovabavalu, Cips and Nathan Hughes and they’re looking formidable again. That young Willis character is a good talent, makes an impact every time he plays.

It may just be that I've got two small children, but I don't like it when Ratuniyarawa plays because the commentators always pronounce his name with exactly the same cadence as the beginning of Hakuna Matata. So whenever they say his name, my brain fills in, "What a wonderful phrase!" after it.
