Bristol did not really look up for it, Saracens wanted it more and really wanted to make a point.

Yes,I didn’t see the game,just going off the result. Fair reflection?

Bristol Bears 9-26 Saracens
For me cannot read too much into the result - no doubt a good win for Saracens and a confidence booster but Bristol started poorly last season before getting their act together and coming good ( a little prematurely, perhaps) whilst Sarries will running on adrenaline for a month or so yet.Both to be there or there abouts come the finale but as usual it does look like Mark McCall and his coaching team have done their homework and prep as per usual.You may not like like them but on the field and within their coaching structure there was and is much to admire.

You are right, I do not like them. McCaul and his staff are good but they were full conspirators in the cheating so,
to use an Irish phrase he will be familiar with. "Bad cess to them"

If this is a red we should just blow up for full time and all go home! Disgusting,the game is over what a waste of time! Let's all play tag from now on.
No hang on,well done TMO,talked Carley out of it, common sense. Brilliant TMO work

Do these games show that the Lions were dreadful or that South Africa really need waterboy Rassie that much
Re: We are BACK! Week 1 match thread - 2021/2022
Show that the Lions games were dreadful, the quality of the RC has been far higher than that series. How does Rassie being a waterboy explain how awful the Lions were to watch?!

Weise getting a ban,what an idiot! Absolute moron! How has he got a yellow? Lucky, Lucky boy,needs to get this out of his game. Citing officer will be looking at it though so it's not over yet!

I really don't think this is that bad, its Weise's back that makes contact with Kerevi's head as he comes through
Re: We are BACK! Week 1 match thread - 2021/2022
Really? Because it's one of ours?
