Play Off Semi-final - Saracens vs Saints

[kpj tiger]

Dickson and Tempest dropping some clangers today, here's hoping tomorrows team is better. Has Dickson checked this try because Sarries asked him too

Farrell foot clearly in touch but ignored, odd decision making!!

Too far back

Maybe but should have been picked up by TMO or officials, just embarrassing!!

He originally checked Sarries at the lineout then once checked it was blatant

Not sure where ?

No matter the pros and cons of the officials Saracens much the better side and will be very difficult to beat in 2 weeks.

Daley coming back gives them a real edge off the bench

What game have you been watching?

Sarries were the better side but they were definitely assisted by somr very questionable officiating.

Same as you but I maybe have a little more empathy with the officials.
For me mistakes made on both sides but the best team won.
Will take a very good team to beat Sarries, not sure why some are persisting with this Sorries nonsense, but each to their own

I hope Dickson refs the final. I got the impression Earle was well and truly pushing his buttons in that game. Lucky not to get a warning

Like all good players he plays on the limit. He was up against Ludlam and Lawes today who have both been picked over him by England recently, and outplayed both

I am sorry but a clear foot in touch that must have been checked by the officials due to the proximity is just shocking. Saints on the way back at that point but shafted by the officiating again, line out at half way or a scrum on your line, what would you pick!!??

He's an exceptional talent. It isn't what the lower 95% of his body was doing, it was his gob that, I believe, was starting to cheese the ref off.

I get what you’re saying but unless Tempest has developed X-ray vision he couldn’t see it and it was past 2 phases to go back.
Not saying you do but people say there is too much intervention and then we needs to check every foot near touch.
Made no difference to the end result though

The end on view (ie from Tempest's side) clearly showed the foot in touch and Tempest failing to see it.

From what I saw 2 players blocked his view of Farrell foot., if he didn’t see it he didn’t see it.
2 points, in the grand scheme does it matter, secondly would it even be mentioned if Tempest hadn’t made the error last week
