Saints Quins

[Banquo]

Saints going well, but still lacking real killer touch- butchered at least two tries. Ludlam, Ribbans, Freeman and Dingwall going well.

Finn Smith looking classy as well. Real shame he's failed a HIA and isn't coming out for the second half.

Saints just look fresher and were playing with more intensity. Lots of momentum to run those Sam Vesty attacking patterns.

I thought Smith made too many errors, but that's a bit harsh. Mitchell was very hit and miss, Braley looked better tbh.

Great win, but quins were poor. Dingwall deserved motm, but Ribbans and Ludlam also were very good, and Furbank and Freeman looked handy too. I wouldn't mind Vesty as attack coach for England.

What does your prem form side look like now- Sarries were very impressive in yesterday's error fest.

Lots to like about that from Saints. Dingwall is such a clever, unselfish player.

Thought Dombrandt stood up well for Quins who were very disappointing.

Hats off to Luke Pearce who kept the game moving smartly along. Different class to some other Prem refs.

I suspect the form side may have moved around a little after this weekend. Dave Ribbans would definitely be in it after today, monstrous display with more than a little skill.

Fin Smith tried a lot of things but I think that was because he was so comfortable with how dominant Saints were. Saints were pretty loose throughout but they were so hard to contain the benefits outweighed any errors.

Vesty is the best attack coach in the league, if Borthwick doesn't want Gleeson then Vesty would be the obvious choice though Saints would probably be unhappy.

Agree on Pearce, really liked how he pushed the 9s to use the ball quickly.

Agreed. Was pleased for Fraser who was a bit off the first half of the season- his attacking was very interesting…. 17 passes and 16 carries, and nearly all meaningful.

Pearce was excellent- and also not afraid to change his mind. Got on with the job with the TMO too, good to see.

Yep, Smith might have overplayed a bit, and that’s also been a cause of both Saints highs and lows this season - quite loose and great to watch, but sometimes you have to make different calls. Btw, should have given Freeman more praise- he is really good, such great all round skill.

[FKAS]

Freeman is always good, very consistent player I'm expecting to be retained for Borthwick's first England squad.

Hope so- he’s got something about him.
