Re: Gallagher Premiership this weekend
Some unsuspected results this weekend. I know most teams affected by 6N call ups, but nevertheless still weird. Affected by Saracens situation in any way?
Re: Gallagher Premiership this weekend
All the Exeter players were thinking "why won't Rowe buy me a house?" in the middle of a scrum and lost concentration?
Re: Gallagher Premiership this weekend
I have tried something similar; listending to Tigers on Radio Leicester and watching another match on BT Sport with the sound on mute. It made for some interesting double takes when I forgot what I was doing and the commentary didn't match what was going on on the pitch.Dr H Flashman MBE wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 3:48 pm I am doing what Mrs Flashman said I could never do and multi task whilst watching the Tigers game on the IPad and the Bristol V Glaws game on the tv, I am getting the distinct impression that Dallaglio hates Nathan Hughes. Every time he mentions Hughes it is disparaging and never complimentary. The bloke is a bitter and hateful man who should not be allowed near the commentary box. He clearly dislikes Hughes for whatever reason, but be professional and don’t make it so blatantly obvious.

Re: Gallagher Premiership this weekend
Bonus point win for Quins. Marcus Smith was excellent.
Re: Gallagher Premiership this weekend
Quins 41 - 14 Sarries development.
Re: Gallagher Premiership this weekend
41-14.
Harlequins were superb today, Sarries had a smattering of notable names on the pitch.
Referee refused to work with the Captain by the end - poor show from the player (Wray)

Re: Gallagher Premiership this weekend
I think maybe the feeling was mutual.
That not straight line out for the first Quins try was the first of many absolute shockers, fifth try also not straight.
The forward pass for the third try, a joke.
Also wasn't that keen on Ibitoye sliding in with studs up for his try, both sliding in but one bent his knees to pull his studs away and the other did not.
Someone mentioned on here recently that they suspected that the commentary could be influencing the TMO and I think they had a point.

Well, either you are biased/one-eyed or I am because I thought all Quins tries were fine.BFG wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 6:46 pmI think maybe the feeling was mutual.

Re: Gallagher Premiership this weekend
I agree with BFG that Lasike’s pass for the third try was forward, Ibitoye’s dive with his studs was reckless but Elia’s throw in my view was a swerving throw so was straight by the time it landed in Dombrandt’s hands.

Only joking!
I hear others say the same (fine/let it go) but think that is the level of officiating and skills that we have gotten used to.
Re: Gallagher Premiership this weekend
You're right it did swerve and to be fair to the on field officials it swerved a lot but the Land Rover sign behind Elia finds it out.
Elia throws the ball, he then steps to his left, the ball lands in line with him after his step left, Sir falls for an old trick!
I watched the whole game and Sir penalised similar throws.
