2017/18 Aviva Premiership Round Six

First topic message reminder :

Friday, 6th October

Harlequins vs Sale (19:45)

Saturday, 7th October

Bath vs Worcester (15:00)
Exeter vs Newcastle (15:00)
Gloucester vs Northampton (15:00)
London Irish vs Leicester (15:00)

Sunday, 8th October

Saracens vs Wasps (15:00)

You want to see the team sheets these days, to see who is fit to take the field. Then again, not all the surprises so far are down to injury lists. All these matches probably have favourites but, with the possible exception of Bath against Worcester, the season results so far mean we shouldn't be surprised to see th e other team come out on top.

The first pen would have ruled out the 2nd though ...

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:09 pm

Won't make any difference though as I can see loads more tries coming from this poor defence already Crying or Very sad

They generally picked up in then 2nd half though

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:12 pm

After it's too late

Looking like it might be a long afternoon for Irish. Thought Owen was signed as an LV squad player? Along with Harrison been very impressive.

by nathan on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:23 pm

Owen looks handy

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:23 pm

This defence is appalling ...

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:25 pm

Get Tiks off and put Fowlie on ...

by nathan on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:27 pm

Fairly sure you can't slap the ball out of the 9s hands

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:28 pm

Ask Neil Back

Is he playing then?

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:30 pm

Might as well be Smile

by nathan on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:32 pm

How on earth is that not a turnover by toomua?

by Scottrf on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:33 pm

Cobus Reinach is rapid.

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:35 pm

I think JP thought he'd got the ball before it was over the line and then it was touched down ... not sure tbh

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:36 pm

Sums it up though - all that and still no score

by nathan on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:37 pm

It was prior to that.
Wuss ahead of bath

by B91212 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:37 pm

How are Saints going Scottrf? Only got the Irish game over here.

by nathan on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:37 pm

Should check that

by nathan on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:39 pm

Shame, he's been doing well so far

Still with a chance in this game. If you play well in the 2nd half and you are not far behind.

Had the better of it. Couple of strong breaks, ahead in territory. Looking quite inventive I'd say.

Couple of big IFS there

by nathan on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:45 pm

We've had a lot of disruption though

by B91212 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:47 pm

Great, thanks Scott. I was a little worried with Horne missing.

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:48 pm

And yet with all that and an extra man we still messed it up on the line ...

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 3:56 pm

In fact I think it was harder not to score than score at the end there ....

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:01 pm

If we'd gone in at 8-14 or 10-14 then maybe we would have had a chance but I think we've blown it now Rolling Eyes

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:04 pm

What did I say - why the F can the coaches not see Tiks shouldn't be on the pitch !!!!!

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:06 pm

Game over - no points again - now have to hope Bath paste Worcester

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:08 pm

Posts - really?

by Scottrf on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:08 pm

Tuala with a few nice steps and a well timed pass for a Mallinder try.

And cough it up. Defence not at the races.

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:18 pm

About time

by B91212 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:21 pm

Cowan has been one of the few Irish players who have looked prem class today. I can't believe it's currently only a 7 point game after that first half.

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:24 pm

Which bit of 2 leave it is difficult to understand ???

by B91212 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:26 pm

What is David Paice doing? Doyle couldn't have been clearer about leaving it. Stupid play and led to a try. Just what Irish needed from their captain.

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:26 pm

And a try follows from the stupid stupid penalty ... hopeless

by Welly on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:26 pm

May is on such a roll.

by Welly on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:27 pm

Toomua long pass to Wing seems to be the way to score for Tigers.

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:28 pm

Should have checked the pass though

by Scottrf on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:29 pm

Looks like a win for Gloucester. Our defence non existent.

by nathan on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:34 pm

8 point game then

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:35 pm

Bet we still manage to come away with nothing ...

by Mad for Chelsea on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:36 pm

Listening on BBC Berkshire. Gordon Reid must be the last impartial pundit I've ever come across. Makes Jiffy look balanced Very Happy

cowpat decision

by nathan on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:38 pm

Hands on the floor first and wasn't holding on long enough

by Heaf2 on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:39 pm

To be fair he's been letting Tigers clear out from the side quite a bit too ...

by Fuzzy Dunlop on Sat 07 Oct 2017, 4:44 pm

Worst performance of the season so far tbh.
