Re: Please get behind your team v Exeter

One thing that is becoming more common, and Roots was doing it loads, is the flankers moving up in the scrum and either engaging the opposition props or the opposite flanker (when both do it). I watched the other games highlights this morning and Bath did it on their pushover try against Saints too...

Re: Please get behind your team v Exeter

At last! Remy time. I think the question of the season for me is "Just how well could we have done this season had we kept 15 on the pitch more often?" Congratulations Saints. (Spits in bucket) League champions. I don't recognise the farce that is the play offs. In soccer or God's own spo...

Re: Please get behind your team v Exeter

Lots of dropped balls and poor kicks but also lots of ambition and effort. I really want to see it continue until the final whistle.

Re: Dan Mckellar

Interesting article in the Telegraph about George Martin. He says he like to "hit hard". Courtney Lawes says, that's great but you are getting hit hard as well. George has only started 5 times for us this season. The part that really interested me was that he chose to go outside the club, ...

Re: Dan Mckellar

I followed Deano's method Deano's warm up may be similar to that of the Munster and Ireland legend Moss Keane: "It's said that Moss Keane was sitting in the changing room at Lansdowne Road lighting up, whereupon the trainer came in and told him to get on to the pitch for a warm-up. “. off,” wa...

Re: Dan Mckellar

You don't need an intense 1 hour warm up before a match. Stretch, warm up, run through a few drills to get the handling right for the conditions. We have reverted to the Cockers era of an excessive warm up and making it a 2 hour 40 minute match. Yes I was the one saying about our warm ups, we seem ...

OK. Fine words and a tangible promise: We won't be 8th next season. And if we are, or worse?

Re: Law changes coming in to effect 1st July

Injury, bootlace undone or dodgy contact lens at the line-out, yes.

No re-scrum from free-kick? I agree with Samhorace.

Protection of the 9 should be extended to the ridiculous amount of harassing that some are getting at the scrum.

I've only seen the clip of Kinder's try, but by all accounts he was excellent against a decent senior professional side. Give him a go, what's the worst that can happen? Do you have a link to the clip? Not sure if this will work... https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6hKbe9Mc1x/?igsh=dzNpNmtrY3E2NnFj I...
