Does that mean Sale will hammer Sarries tomorrow?

Hope springs eternal.

Does rule the Home Semifinal out for us if Sale win, as it is they are only 8 points ahead of us with a tough run in...

Sale need 13 points from their last 5 games to secure a semi final

I didn't even realise a home semi was possible for us, I don't think even the most fervent of happy clappers would be expecting that.

If they don't get anything against Saracens, Sale are away to 3 teams chasing the playoffs (London Irish, Bristol & Gloucester)

There is a genuine chance they lose two of those. We would have to go unbeaten, and I think we would need Sarries to win, so whilst I think it quite unlikely I wouldn't rule it out...

The Western Force got a pummelling against the Reds - 71-20!! That's some going - combined 91 points in 80 minutes

Is there a reason for the mismatched socks from both teams in this Sale vs Sarries game?

I’m hoping Sale get tonked,I’d rather finish 2nd or 3rd than 4th and tbh would rather finish 5th than 4th. We have to avoid an away day at Sarries if we are gonna make the playoffs

Terrible TMO- nothing compelling about a forward pass- it’s on the 22- there’s a line for them as well and they still can’t see it.
Just so shocking.

Well that absolute howler won't help with that! Went at least 2 metres forward!

The chromosome responsible for DS is shaped like a sock. World DS Day is actually 21st March, as the problem is caused by an extra (3rd) copy of the 21st chromosome.

Really annoying, when the suspicion of a knock on is replayed many times (Scott’s) and chalked off, but forward passes are pretty well ignored. There was a blatant one in the Saints game too

[Big Dai]

Just about had enough of these commentators, pundits and TMOs

The Mrs suggests that the commentators should be pooled and the audience/paying public should have the facility to select who they want to hear. The one with the least number of hits at a given time gets turned off.

TMO calls should be given out to a preselected public vote. Hit a choice of buttons to make your decision. Interactive decision making. It would be better than the current TMO situation as over three days they've proved they don't know what a forward pass is......or a push......or much else!

Harrumph!

Why couldn’t tmo s be ex players. Obviously with no ties to either team

And you think that would make them:
1. Infallible
2. Immune from criticism on this forum?

Why can’t TMO’s be competent?
