Getting better for this game and the later one although still be quite windy. Conditions on general today across the country show just how lucky they were with the World Cup.
Interesting to see that Jackson Wray who played very well last game against London Irish has been left out for the young Maro Itoje. Have read that Itoje is quite highly rated.
Quite a few players on both sides who will be keen to hear about but in particular to keep it short – 13 Duncan Taylor for Sarries and if he comes on 22 JJ Hanrahan for Saints. Also keen to hear thoughts about Saints flyhalf Steven Myler who I think could fairly easily have been included in England squad just that there are too many flyhalves in England of similar ability at the moment so someone has to lose out.
Hellloooooooooo
Is it just me and Bully interested in this game?
How do they say in the Classics…. “Comes to I, come talks with I here!”
Hehehehe
Players out on the pitch!
Game ON!
Kick-Off by Saracens!
Immediate mistake by Owen Farrell, kick-off directly out, scrum on the middle spot, Saints ball!
Saints penalty, lazy runner offside… kickable!
Saints 3 / 0 Saracens
Saints scrum giving Sarries all sorts of problems, clearly the stronger scrummaging by Saints!
26 Minutes gone… still 3 / 0 to Saints
Jeeeez, English rugby overall is in more trouble than even the Rugby World Cup highlighted!
Unimaginative rugby at it’s worst!
Last night’s game was the same plodding type of rugby…
Early shove by the Saints at the scrum, Sarries Free Kick
Late tackle on Owen Farrell, he takes exception and the penalty is almost reversed.
It stays with a Sarries kickable penalty.
Saints 3 / 3 Saracens
Saints penalty, deeeep in the Sarries 22, holding on
Missed sitter by Myler, wow!
Owen Farrell getting hit hard here by Saints, time after time… hehehe
Never a more deserving player to get tackled shitless!
Sarries penalty… long one, slotted by Farrell.
Saracens 6 / 3 Saints
Lemoenetyd
2nd Half ON!
The up-and-unders wayyyyyyyyy overdone by both sides, specially by both Scrumhalves!
Sarries scrum penalty… and it will be a kick at goal
Saracens 9 / 3 Saints
Michael Rhodes on for Sarries as a sub
So little happening in this game, I have had time to do 3 rugby articles here on Rugby-Talk… whilst watching this game and missing nothing much.
Sarries lineout on their own 5m line.
Saracens 12 / 3 Saints
11 Minutes to go.
Fark, I do not think I’ve EVER fallen asleep watching a rugby game, before today!
My freegin neck falling to the side woke me up again… hahaha
Another Sarries maul penalty… on about the Saints 22… this time they kick for the corner.
This is a shocking game!
