Credit where its due, I think he's done well off the bench since coming back in.

Right margin, wrong way!

Like many, I expected us to get pasted today. Cracking result. Well done to all the squad.

I've just watched the disallowed tries again and they are both good tries IMHO. Foley poor once more.

Great result.

Lots of positives and reflecting on the best players on show.

The established internationals- Weise, Montoya and Pollard all very good.
The youngsters proving their worth- Martin, Pearson, Cunningham South
The underrated pro- Cracknell- thought he was excellent (one drop aside), monster of a player.

With four more games at home think we are in with a shout of the top four.

Proud of everyone connected with the club. It's been a tricky few weeks. Performances on the field have been improving, results have been achieved, but the most significant aspect has been the attitude from top down. Investment, recruitment, performance. The common threads are ownership, faith and determination. It's a beautiful thing. COYT.

Happy for George Martin to go under the radar a bit. Borthwick knows him well. He'll get a chance again.
The comparison is lost on me though. Ones an openside and the other is a lock/BR hybrid. It’s like saying everyone talks about Justin Tipuric but Mario Itoje outplayed him today,or am I not getting it?
I think the point was not a 6 vs 6 or direct match up, more a promising player vs promising player, and Martin came out of it better.

You may be right Scott, but which is the only other team to beat Sarries this season? On the day it is 15 v 15 and you never know.
