Re: The Local Derby v Saints!
My only comment is Hamilton better bring his A game against Picamoles!!!
Simple equation for me and happy to stick my neck out early doors: we need to win today as if not I don't see us finishing in the Top 4 come May...

Re: The Local Derby v Saints!
Quite right MrP . Of our remaining away matches only against Wuss do we have a realistic chance of winning . Exeter are improving by the week and will not be troubled in the 6 Nations by call ups .Must win today!

Re: The Local Derby v Saints!
Hamilton was signed with a reputation for a big tackle count. He always seems busy in defence for us, I imagine he's in to do a bit of a man marking job on Picamoles.MrPartridge wrote:My only comment is Hamilton better bring his A game against Picamoles!!!

Thacker pinches one against the head. So much for him being a weak link at the scrum. He's started well there.

Re: The Local Derby v Saints!
If George North was truly pole-axed from Tombstone's challenge - landing on his side, banging his head on the turf - he really ought to question whether he should be playing in future. If he wasn't knocked out, he should be playing wendyball.

I don't think he's been right since the wales game when he went down like a sack of spuds

He lay on the ground like he'd been knocked cold - but he's allowed back on! He should either be off from the HIA or yellow-carded for faking it in order to secure Tombstone's yellow!Rykard wrote:I don't think he's been right since the wales game when he went down like a sack of spuds

Re: The Local Derby v Saints!
Scrum is a penalty machine with Thacker there.
Re: The Local Derby v Saints!
There was no need for North to milk it. Thompstone was always going to be carded. The decision was whether it was yellow or red. Yellow was 100% the correct decision.
Land on head or neck = red
Land any other way apart from feet= yellow
North landed on his side so yellow was correct.

Saints bench didn't think he was knocked out. Looked it to me
