I'm running behind after having to pick up the chippy tea, that offload for the Henry try, gorgeous.
Credit to the boys, I was underwhelmed by the team when named but the performance so far has been superb

Why wasn’t that a turnover penalty for Youngs?!

This ref is starting to annoy me now! Twice Youngs won the ball at the ruck and they somehow get it back! Both should have been our penalties

My thoughts exactly, that combined with them rolling after the tackle.OakhamTiger32 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 03, 2021 8:49 pm This ref is starting to annoy me now! Twice Youngs won the ball at the ruck and they somehow get it back! Both should have been our penalties
Yet somehow we get the warning!

Wow. Thanks for taking the 3 with Tigers on a final warning.

Connacht taking the 3 points is a victory in itself.. that defense was absolutely incredible and Youngs should have had at least 2 penalties in there for them holding on

I enjoy reading this on delay. Loads bemoan the team and the start, and now in raptures. We fans are a capricious bunch.

Did post not good to have a Pro14 ref. Seen this laissez faire before.
