Sarries vs Leinster

Post by padprop »

Can't see Sarries winning this without Rhodes or Vunipola.

What happened to the big islander that Sarries bought in a couple weeks ago at number 8? He looked class.

Injured himself a few weeks ago. I doubt he’d be trusted to start, anyway.
Looking forward to this.

Interested to know p/d’s thoughts on BOD’s sartorial decisions.

Are there any arms in these chop tackles?

As Kay says, Sarries have responded very well.

Brad Barritt. He’s limited but he’s perfected what he does.

I haven't seen much of Ringrose but he does look a bit suspect in defense at times, but is never really fully exploited.

Was there a big gust of wind that knocked over Sexton after Wigglesworth tried to tickle him.

Sarries too. Sexton obviously targeted, and has been hit marginally late a few times. Wiggy lucky to escape yellow for a late, no arms shoulder charge to the chest.

Targeting a flyhalf?!?!? What next. Trying to score tries and challenging for the ball in a lineout!

If you compared how Garces has reffed the breakdown in this match and Owens reffed the breakdown in Scotland v England you’d think they were playing under different laws.

And now he throws a heavy spin pass at Mako when something quite a bit more sympathetic was required m. This was a couple of phases after giving Goode a hospital pass.

Awful decision by Itoje to try to hold him up there. All that could possibly happen was Leinster players smashing through.

Trying to slow them down, Leinster had some serious momentum. I can see why he did it but it backfired.

Maul called awfully quickly. My dislike of the choke tackle may play some part in this.

Kearney can’t be pinged for that, surely......but he is. What on earth is he supposed to do?!?!?
