Waiting List
1. Sam
2. pullthestrings
3. Bathite

Is Britz a bit nervous with Smit in the stands? He's all over the place

yeh wood has been very impressive.
lahiff went well for irish today, potential for england in future.

Is lahiff English?? Went well today although he was against a dreadful tight head. Qera is such a hard hitter. Frightening player when on form. He looks fit for first time in a year

Has Qera lost weight or is it just me? Sarries upped their game this half

About 10 kilos lighter pooly

Fantastic play Burns, hes got some gas! 10kg, Jesus! If I lost that I'd be 10kg

If I lost it I would be about 100 kg

lahiff is english yeh. so strong, corbs will not get back in the team easily.
delon had a stinker today.
a lot of people on the irish forum slating hape, thought he went ok and we suffered a bit with Shingler at 13 when JJ went off. personally would of put delon at 13 and brought thompstone on wing and homer fb.

I'd have done the same stnick, was amazed when Shingler came on. Disappointing performance all round really. Thought Allinson had a complete nightmare.

Allinson had a mare but the biggest reason for me was the way irish present the ball and staff the breakdown. Bath did it much cleaner

Yeh poor game from allinson. Not too down about it, thought we edged the scrum and battled well upfront, awful lineout, why we kept going to Gibson and not Kennedy I dont understand. Hopefully ansbro and tagi back next week.

We bossed the scrum overall, but got schooled at the lineout and breakdown, and you are never going to beat a half decent side when that happens.

One of the main things that concerned me is with the exception of Topsy Ojo, we never really looked like getting over the gainline regularly, we miss Garvey and the Hoff massively at the moment, the sooner we get them back the better.

New samoan fella should help

Any idea on what JJ has done?

"If I lost it I would be about 100 kg"

Lol.

Massive win for Sarries, they're looking unstoppable this season.

Good summary of T14 weekend:

http://nz.sports.yahoo.com/rugby/news/article/-/11066901/clermont-back-on-top-wilkinson-shines-for-toulon/

Bad news for Chris. Domingo just back from injury has injured his knee and will be out for 6 months

ASM smashed Biarritz this week.

It's actually true pooly I would be 100kg.

Domingo is so unlucky. France have had him and Barcella missing for ages. Poux was excellent in
Wc

110kg is pretty hefty, think I'm 80kg. Do too much Army phys to smash the weight on.

When I played a decent standard I was always 102 and that was too small now I am 110 which is about 17 stone odd. Certainly not as fit as I
Was. Train 3 nights a week and generally play or do
Some sport on weekend.

It's the drinking that does it weight wise. That and a sedentary job with loads of travel

big b astard

Last thing you want to do is hit the gym after travelling for 10 hours.

I've just had 6 weeks off structured PT and its killed me getting back into it. As a Sgt (33) your expected to be as fit as the lads if not fitter (19/20). Nearly have a heart attack smashing out the runs in the morning and putting a brave face like it's a piece of pi ss.

How tall are you then Matt?

6 ft 3

At least you can carry it then, 5'6" and 110kg would be a interesting

Talking of 5'6" I am sure Lee Mears is listed on the Bath website as 5'9". If he's 5'9" then I'm 6'6". I've got bigger feicin gnomes in the garden!

Lol....he does look a bit of a midget in the pack. I think Dave Wilson is 6'1" ish though and he looks quite short around the other forwards.

See JMH is back Nick

Wilson looked taller today in the flesh than he does when I've seen him on the telly.

Mears is 5ft6/7 he lives quite near me and often see him
In local waitrose or sainsburys. Never 5 ft 9 and the least likely looking rugby player you would ever see.

Usually you bump into players and you think what a unit even the backs. Mears looks like he should be working in the super market.

Occasionally bump into banahan and he is huge and really stands out

have had a p iss next to alesana tuilagi and that was the first time i realised how big the bloke is (no homo)

did JMH play this weekend? very handy for me as have bowden and butch injured. JMH perfect 10 for winter months.

Yeah, Bananaman is massive. Mears is no taller than me (I'm 5'6"), although he is slightly rounder!

anyone else think frankie off the x-factor looks like alex grey?

Why did gray not play today

Injured, but hopes to be back next week apparently.

like tagi and ansbro, not match fit, back next week.
thorpe was anonymous and is a penalty machine, poor 8.

No Nick, he made first appearance last week and rested this week. Think RM are easing him back in slowly

Thorpe isn't big enough, physical enough or intelligent enough to play 8. In the absence of the Hoff, I would rather see one of Gibson, Gray or Sinclair there.

dont think gibson is physical enough and i think he has been very good at 7 recently
grey if fit, if not then sinclair

Argh!! How did glos lose that??!!

To be fair, neither Gibson or Gray are quite physical enough for it, but both are bigger and cleverer than Thorpe.

Next week I would go with Sinclair, Danaher and Gibson to start, and gray on the bench if fit. If he's not, I would rather have Sisi on the bench than Thorpe.

Love the way nick put the disclaimer no homo on his post. We were worried you may have turned nick !

thorpe and roche are two players i hate to see on the irish team sheet.
glos should have won, just seen sapolu has started his twitter s hite. having a go at farrell for something.

just had to make things clear matt!

Someone tweeted earlier that EFS looked annoyed coming off the pitch so was likely to be tweeting tonight!

If you were going to turn you seriously wouldn't want tuilagi to be your first!

depends if he is in proportion!

What goes on the pitch, stays on the pitch?? Dont use the pitch to showcase your FAKE toughness you p ussy s hit!

EFS latest tweet for anyone interested! referring to owen farrell.

Seems to have an issue with Chris Wyles as well. The bloke is a head case.

It would appear that something happened on the pitch and Farrell said to him 'tweet about this bitch', according to Eliota anyway.

What a tool that bloke is, put some big hits in today Farrell, nearly put Trinder in the stands with a cheeky shoulder barge. Sarries really look to rough teams up away from home, any win at Kingholm is massive

He's a tough defender Farrell, you can see the league influence there.

Farrell is certainly no 13. Spoke to a few people who were behind posts and say barrits try was no try and he knocked on. To be fair you have to admire sarries
