Weekend match thread - 17-19th May 2019
Just watching Bulls/Rebels nice try from Pollard who's off to Montpellier. Liebenberg quiet so far but very high possession and territory for the Rebels. 14-7 Bulls,Toomua on bench.

Vermuelen the new Marx? 5 turnovers last week,making his presence known again this week at the breakdown.

While watching this game have we ever been taught to offload out of the tackle?

Re: Weekend match thread
Interesting watching the Jaguares game that Lavanini takes very little line out ball considering his size. He is instead used as a lifter and for driving at the mauls, gave Creevey a great second nudge for his try.
Can’t wait to see him next season.
As an aside how good has Pablo Materia become, I don’t think there is a side in the world he wouldn’t get into at the moment.
If someone did want to bring him to the premiership he would take up a very expensive marquee spot

Didn't watch the game Mark but his game has come on a treat,hes even got a decent kicking game,I've seen him assist a couple of tries with little dinks through. Argument for world's best 6 at present?

If it wasn't for the Argentina selection policy at the time he most likely would've signed for Tigers again.
We got very close 2 years ago to getting him back.
Just can't compete with Stade money currently.

Matera has developed into a fantastic player. Wish we still had him.

Matera is a name to conjure with, great shame we could not attract him back to Welford Road.Mark62 wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2019 11:54 am Interesting watching the Jaguares game that Lavanini takes very little line out ball considering his size.

Tigers like defending from the Lions there!
