ITV4…

Non-HD vs Austin Healey, there's a conundrum

I’d rather watch in black and white.

There is ITV4HD, so you can have both.

Leicester have looked very nervy so far. Steward's not reacted well to his early dropped catch and has made several mistakes. Happy to be 0-3 so far.

Vunipola looking a lot more lithe than in a while (caveat - I generally prefer to watch others than sarries)

Greasy ball and then a bit of inexperience. Just needs to relax into it a bit. He's settling slowly.

The scrum penalty was a 50/50, if Weise had picked and went we'd have been fine there. Need to be a bit cuter.

Everything good that we've done so far has come through Ford. We've lost if he has to go off.

Puja

Yup, we're screwed. Terrible end to his Leicester career for a fantastic servant to the club.

Puja

That's a shame.

Ffs.

Disaster

Barnes and Foley have bottled that.

"It's now about how hard he hits him"

Whut. Where does the guidance say that?

Leicester losing the game - talking back to Barnes and giving away a penalty. It's Wigglesworth as well, who should know better. His passing's been tosh so far too, so he needs to have a word with himself before having a word with the ref.

Mind, as I type that, the TMO spots a head shot and Davies is in the bin. Could be a turning point. Gods know that we need a bit of a run of things to go well for us.

Puja

Red all day long. So much for player safety.

Shite call in the same style as some we saw last week. Since when has the carrier being dominant in the tackle had any relation to if it's a dangerous shot from the tackler? Awful calls

Great break by Steward and then good finish by Liebenburg.

And how was the ball carrier dominant when he's felled by the tackle?

proof of why daly is an iffy 13. Good break, but...

Well indeed, but that's the contortions of thought gone through by the refs in this instance and one in the Quins semi last week. By their logic most high tackles from a back on a forward could never be reds

Yep.

Ice always defended wiggy, a favourite for a long time, but he did have a good long chat with Barnes after the yellow to get his grievances across. His kickings been good too

Is there any position in the backs Goode can’t play well! Other 12, obvs, if p/d is here.
