Waiting List
1. pullthestrings
2. Bathite

8 month!!!!

got away lightly?

he'll only miss 3-4 months of actual rugby, especailly when you think he's already got 2 weeks out the way!

A bit too harsh for me.i
Know he did it but he did not aim to break his arm.

It's to stop him going to south Africa but to allow him to start the season so in reality its not a 8 month ban

think he might kiss good bye to his England career though, Haskell back next season, Gibson, Launchbury coming through very strong. A shame as Clark probably would have done well in SA.

Mujati has been defending him a lot on Twitter.

If good enough he will get back in. Look
At Stevens and Hartley all had longer bans and came back.

These other players have to come through. Clark has had a good season and is a very good player

Clark is still young but needs to have a good clean season behind him to be considered for Int duty. Won't do him too much harm I don't think

Surely Launchbury will not be capped as a flanker. He simply doesn't have the mobility. Lock he has a gret chance but not on the flanks.

Just so you know guys i'm back home so won't be on much till Sunday pass this onto av1 too please, ta.

Agree Steve looks more a 2nd row. Sam jones is more a backrow Prospect for wasps

Thought Jones was gonna get a good run after he played so well against the Tigers.

My coach at Chester's son is the Wasps under 18's captain at the minute as a hooker and there system for bringing through players with mentors. Serge Betsen still in contact with the lad (who is a hooker). Great system.

Launchbury is the most mobile forward Wasps have, he's definitely a second row, but has played every game for us at no6 this season - reckon they will put him in the second row next year, unless Haskell comes back and plays no8.

Good thing about him is that he can play very well at no6 too, so potentially very good for the England bench.

Sam Jones is a very good player, think he will end up as a no6 - our trouble this season is that at times we threw in too many youngsters and there were mismatches in games and they all picked up injuries, Launchbury, Jones and Vunipola all got loads of knocks.

Wasps have a really good youth system, which makes me question some of Dae Young's signings, as personally think Elliot Daly could become a star but we keep getting more and more players in who play in his position.

Just watching Lancaster on Rugby Club. Should be very interesting.

Goode off, Kitchener having a very good game. Flood excellent in attack. Could be a big score this one.

Falcons getting pumped

I think Goode must have seen some sort of food on Croft's shirt, as never seen him move so fast in my life. Never thought I would see the day that Andy Goode got a red card!

Was a really odd incident, kind of shoulder charged him nowhere near ball?!?! Really one sides game

if Tigers get some tempo in this half then its going to be an absolute humping - Worcester are a decent side, but Tigers just need to up the tempo.

As Kay said, not really playing that well but easy really

Great win for Falcons, at least we're making a fight of it

Well done falcons sale on slide. Just seen highlights of glos game last week I went to.

I was other end of their last minute try. Never knew it was so controversial. It could not be seen. Spreadbury was the tmo. He famously said on retiring from reffing. I am the only bristolian who prefers bath to glos.

How can he officiate as tmo???

That and Barritt non try by Bristol Geoff warren as tmo cost us 9 points and play offs. Whole point of tmo is to make decision based on evidence.

If inconclusive can't give it.

So annoyed as thought that exeter had scored easily from 80 metres away.

Games as big as that should not be guessed.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


FALCONSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

It's on for falcons. Bigger drawback is that glos bogey team is wasps. We always lose away to them and have so many missing

Christian Lealiifano had a great season for the Brumbies so far.

Mat - I think we might have the beating of you upfront in the game, looks like you've lost a lot of first choice forwards? Would say that Broster has become a bit of a revelation for us this season.

Glad to see we have gone for a backrow of Launchbury, Jones and Vunipola - Jones and Launchbury bring so much commitment to the game, tackle rates are absolutely awesome. Vunipola has been getting better there, so even though its a young backrow of 20 year olds, I think we will beat Gloucester here too.

Backline's are a different matter! I think we are on last legs with only two centres left standing, no more wingers left in the squad if another gets injured and only two first choice are Robinson and Southall!

Cooper at least two months away apparently.

Reds struggling again Steve

Jeez how many injuries do reds have. So few options.

Rod Davies is such a bad player. Pace and nowt else. They have been crucified up front and the lack of a ten is killing the

Cheeky finish Lowe....C'mon quins!!!

End of season deals anyone?

Keen.

I thought you were on Holiday......

Reds really struggling. Down to 4th Choice 10.

Good thing for me was the form of Morahan. He was very strong with ball in hand today.

How'd Marler and Buchanan go in the scrum today??

Pretty good Steve. Quins at least gained parity and even got one big push on in first half marching Sarries back 5m or so.

Buchanan was excellent in loose but throwing was very up and down. Made a complete hash of one on own 5m line but got away with it. Looks a very good prospect though.

I've seen bits of him but he was never on fire for the under 20's. So many youngsters at Quins though it's unreal!

That attempted tackle from Steven Donald was embarassing!

I've just put that game on. Donald.......

He is having a mare. Foden been the star so far.

Bath set piece is a shambles

Steven - both Marler and Buchanan had good games, thought they got all over Sarries at the set piece and bossed them until the last 15mins or so. Quins let down with discipline, lost 3 players to the sin bin, George Lowe was absolutely brilliant today, defence was top rate.

Donald however has not been....Jesus he's having a mare

I dont think Bath are the right club for him - play wrong style, the other players around him just don't read him, he actually runs some good lines and makes right decisions but no one runs off him - can see that he doesnt seem to be enjoying his rugby at the club and confidence is shot - think if they werent paying him so much Heathcote would be starting.

Lamb's improved a lot this season.

Mercer is an idiot. Been very poor today.

Glad to see Fearns back though. Unsurprisingly I like him having him on here and being a Sale old boy.

I leave Wednesday....

13 men was impressive. Good game.

Looking for deals for both this and next season.

Donald been out for a while so imagine was poor. Mercer is
A pen machine dreadful at breakdown as he gets penalised every time.

Bath a poor side dreadful forwards.

Donald a front foot 10

Chris lamb is a good player when grounds are hard he is not suitable to poor weather.

Basically play him start of season and the end and he is good

Anyone seen how poor a defender matanavou the Toulouse wing is. Misses 4 tackles per match!!

Dynamite on attack though

30 minutes in and surely donald is not fit. Playing like a drain


 

He does get a little bit better near halftime. Been pretty dire all season to be fair though, surprised they don't start Heathcote.

Luckily for you Carter is back and Goosen playing well, always nice to have options!
