Weekend match thread - 31st May 2019

Brad Weber currently best 9 in New Zealand but very unlikely to go to the World Cup, definitely one to keep an eye on, even allowing for the 2 youngsters and yby

[Cardiff Tig]

I would have him in a heartbeat, the knowledge he must have picked up at Racing and Crusaders would be invaluable.

JP14 feels he’s over rated though, so will never happen

I'm surprised JP14 knows who this O'Gara fellow is, isn't he a bit before his time

Cheeky , have you heard of YouTube?

[Scott1]

COYS!!

[Scott1]

Has Ardie Savea ever been legal at a breakdown?

[Mark62]

Ben Spencer best English qualified 9 must go to japan

Nowell has been electric ball in hand. Also would have Ewers and Devoto in the England set up on current form.

Huge Nowell fan, so, powerful through his legs, would have him on the other wing to May

On this form you simply can’t leave him out! Has looked great at fullback to be fair.

What a cracking final so far. Come on Exeter! Ewers and Armand have been excellent so far, get them in that squad. Wouldn't be a bad thing for England to be able to switch to the Exeter way of playing every now and again. Would certainly have been useful when the floodgates started opening vs Scotland.

Nowell is a superb player. I love him.

It's not boring but Barnes refereeing of the breakdown is poor, anything goes and especially Exeter launching like missiles!

I'd agree with this. I really rate Barnes but he's not been his usual impeccable self today. I also think Sarries are tackling very high to try and stop Exeter's attacks. There's been some brutal high shots imho.

Ewers has been the best backrower on the pitch, brings so much power, especially against Sarries defence is some feat.

[POSTIGER]

Wow. I really thought Sarries were done. Amazing.

Great hit from Lozowski on Simmonds

Not looking great for Nowell, looks in a lot of pain - hopefully not so bad he misses RWC.

Walking (limping) off under own steam, hope to see him fit again soon
