Centre, fly half and full back - 29 yrs old.
Solid, flexile player.
Could do worse unless one or both of the academy lads are going to be meaningfully transitioned in next season.

Good call. He was excellent at the weekend, unfortunately.

If Tigers are signing Moroni then he'd probably be surplus here. I disagree. For me this would be horses for courses. Moroni is one of the best defensive centres in the world IMHO, but I think Perese is better in attack... In any case, we need more than 2 or 3 centres in the squad due to potential ...

He's a flanker trapped in a scrum half's body.

That would explain his kicking haha

This is painful to watch...

Or slightly fewer injuries... but our defence is, or at least was the best in the league.

As was said, we are missing fitness and attack.

In such a simple poor attack plan he’s always been the only one who does something that scares defenders

IMHO he has been one of our best players this season.

Completely agree

Is thst Freddie Tuilagi behind Sanderson amongst the Sale subs?

I think sir is pretty fair today TBH... but I am not an expert on scrums!

Is it me or are the touchjudges giving Sale an extra 5 metres on quite a few of our kicks for touch?!! The official with the dark hair adjudged Stewards kick to touch only just made it out of the 22 despite the Sale player fielding it inside his own half.. I get angles etc but seemed very generous ...

Because it was 1 minute away from half time and it puts us within a converted try.

A rather unfortunate typo in the press release for this week's team announcement! “We can’t change Bristol, or this season, but we can put in two eight -minute performances in these next two games that we can be proud of. “ Realism, unfortunately! That said, for 60 minutes, we are not a bad team.

Is there any footage of this game online? I had a quick look on YouTube, but I wasn't able to find anything.

I’d still like to see some of Cockerill’s passion in our present coaches. I couldn't agree more, together with his feistiness and a do "everything" to win attitude. Ii couldn’t agree less. Depends what you mean by ‘passion’? Didn’t do Cockers much good in the end, did it? Was Deano ‘passi...
