Foden out, Mallinder to 15 and Wilson at 23. Seems like Wilson has really fallen out of favour since Harry has emerged, which is a shame because he is an excellent player and I'd have him at 15 ahead of Harry

This is painful watching. Harrison the only player doing anything good for Saints. Lots of errors. Ken Pisi made to look very slow by Williams there, Saints could do with some genuine pace in the backs from someone like Collins

Have to feel for North continually getting ball pinned on his wing with about 3ft of space

Wilson on and gives North the ball in space. Inspirational

Only watched 20 mins so far, Brookes is getting absolutely mullered. Barnes hasn't a clue what's going on in the scrums.

Inexplicably poor game. Conditions couldnt be better but neither side were capable of putting together sustained, quality play.
Harrison rightly MotM . Be a major surprise if he doesnt make the Oz tour.
I dont think Brookes was fit. He looked sluggish throughout. Lawes had a good game i thought.

Interesting comment that Harrison is seen as a 7 long-term.

That bath winger is ridiculously quick.

I think a mix of injury and then lack of avaiable game time to get himself match fit was the main issue for Smith.

I like Harrison more every time I see him. There's a little bit of Moody in him in how he treats his body.

Too soon?

Auterac has gone backwards since he left Saracens, not a good advertisement for Bath's coaching team.
Harrison looks very good. Is he England qualified through his parents?
I find it amusing that supporters who dutifully turn up in droves to watch such dross are the very same that say Saracens are difficult to like due to their playing style. How many times did Northampton drop the ball when they were threatening to score?
Bath's defence was impressive, though.

Auterac has come on leaps and bounds since he left Sarries, but is only recently back from a nasty injury.
Completely agreed on the double standards.
I also don't get the Devoto love in. I'm not seeing what people are so excited about. Flashes, but nothing consistent. Got a Twelvetrees feel about it.
Watson and Goode should be very much our fullback options.

Is that guy williams good in 15 a side or he just great on the break with his pace?

I don't hear that this season to be honest, Sarries have really come on in terms of style in the last 18 months and all Saints fans believe the opposite for our club for 18 months now

1. Simply not true
2. Dunno
3. Not for the last 18 months or so. A] most fans (obviously, far from all) recognise that Saracens play has changed in the last couple of years. B] the likes of Bath and Saints have been playing shite this season, and their fans are happy to say so, with many talking about giving up their season ticket. C] a slight difference between a season failing to play well and 5 seasons of a deliberate game plan. Oh, and D] much of what made Sarries hard to like wasn't the playing style (though it didn't help) it was the behaviour of the club as a whole, night of the long knives, plastic gimmicks and utter disrespect for a while - which has also made an about turn with the losses of Venter, Eddie G and Vicarage Rd.
4. I'll take your word for it; I was away for the weekend, and nothing I've read makes me want to find this one on premiershiprugby.tv
