Like many others make mention, absolutely great to Nadolo back....hopefully the big man can play at least some part.
Seemingly heading rapidly toward senility .....Not long or far to go now , in fact, getting worse daily.....

Re: SAINTS AT HOME 24TH APRIL 2021
Very strong team and agree I thought Reffel needed a rest. Superb bench, Brink adds real physicality and Nadolo is a match winner. JVP is also a much better option for the final quarter.
Saints missing some big players up front. Lawes and Isiekwe are obvious. Painter has scrummaged really well this year but they may lack bulk in the tight. They have a very talented and fast back line. Sleighthome, Hutchinson, Furbank etc.
Very hopeful of a Tigers win and really hope Ford shows that he is a better player than Biggar.

Delighted to see Hanro back. Thought we missed him last week.
I'm not cynical just experienced
Re: SAINTS AT HOME 24TH APRIL 2021
Wow what a match day 23! Great to see Hanro back in the team and the strength across the backs. Those times when I worried about our replacement front row are a thing of the past. Good to see Nadalo on the bench and I hope he's used the last 8 weeks or so to really improve his contribution to the team as I just couldn't share the apparent acclaim for him from his previous appearances prior to his unfortunate injury. Hope I am proved wrong!

Van Wyk needs to step up now, serious pressure from Murimurivalu and Potter for his place

Saints backs have played some absolute filth recently. Fast flowing, game winning rugby...We'll need to defend for our lives!

We should get possession from the set piece and we have been reasonable in the main in defence.

With Sir sometimes it's possible to be disciplined and still struggle. We have to be able to adapt to how he ref's the gameNoggs wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 4:34 pmWe should get possession from the set piece and we have been reasonable in the main in defence.

Wayne Barnes is giving a master class of how to ref in the Bristol v Chiefs game.
I hope Mr. Dickson is watching!
Really nervous but excited about the game tomorrow.

Van Wyk needs to hold back on the brain-farts! Same for Wiese, absolutely love his aggression, but got to keep a lid on it.
In my defence, I was left unsupervised….
