Maybe a small ban for Servat in the offing. Toulouse could do without him being banned with Botha badly injured.

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 27 Dec 2011, 4:56 pm

You're hammering me today!!! Give me a break man Very Happy

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 27 Dec 2011, 5:00 pm

Big match-ups all over the park in this one. Sarries pack is stronger as a unit, should take this one I think

by Steven_Sharks Tue 27 Dec 2011, 5:02 pm

They will if they keep gifting points to Farrell who won't miss many.

Over confidence perhaps from Quins.

by Steven_Sharks Tue 27 Dec 2011, 5:05 pm

Hmmmm Moment of cooper like madness from Nick Evans

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 27 Dec 2011, 5:14 pm

Saull playing well

by stnick88 Tue 27 Dec 2011, 5:27 pm

Spoke to jj and tagi today both back playing in January, hopefully the next three weeks

by Steven_Sharks Tue 27 Dec 2011, 5:30 pm

excellent news.

by Guest Tue 27 Dec 2011, 5:34 pm

Saull looks like a man possesed. Fasivalu done well also. To be sarries you have to up the tempo and move them around.

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 27 Dec 2011, 5:36 pm

Quins looking a little hungover from Toulouse game

Great news, if we can keep everyone fit and not suspended for a bit, we could put a little run together that sees us get towards the end of the season still in there fighting for a play off spot.

by Guest Tue 27 Dec 2011, 5:42 pm

Game on Marler carrying well. Great work rate

by stnick88 Tue 27 Dec 2011, 5:48 pm

Our backs played well today, except shingler, armitage was very good. Scrum and lineout went well but in the loose we lacked a bit of grunt that hala'ufia or big trev provide. Thorpe was anonymous! Bryn Evans looks good now can see why he played for all blacks (albeit once)

by Guest Tue 27 Dec 2011, 5:52 pm

Not often you see nick Evans have a stinker

Shings did ok. He's still a kid, will be a good 10 with gametime under his belt. Thorpe is never a starter, decent off the bench, but Alex Gray has to start at 8 against Bath in the absence of the Pacific Island boys.

by dammit_chris Tue 27 Dec 2011, 6:43 pm

After new front row and a no7 - anyone available?

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 27 Dec 2011, 6:58 pm

Tincu, Roncero, Mitchell, Stankovich

Brussow in big deal

Hit me on page if interested thumbsup

by Steven_Sharks Tue 27 Dec 2011, 7:22 pm

missed the end of the rugby with a powercut!!!

Game continue in the same vain?

by 'Arry Spurs Tue 27 Dec 2011, 7:29 pm

I'm about for some deals lads, any enquiries just post on my page.

by Guest Tue 27 Dec 2011, 8:20 pm

How did hape play today?? Saw he scored

by stnick88 Tue 27 Dec 2011, 8:29 pm

Immense in defence as usual, didn't get a lot of ball on attack. Good try though.

by LukeLovesLuka Tue 27 Dec 2011, 8:36 pm

Leicester looked great today. 36 an amazing talent. When he's been fit he's played, would have him in the EPS.

Any news on Manu injury?

by Guest Tue 27 Dec 2011, 9:19 pm

I was not that taken with 36 today thought he took some poor options and also did some good stuff. Part of being young I suppose. Saxons at best currently for me.

Think he shows promise though

by **Ozzy3213** Wed 28 Dec 2011, 8:46 am

League table updated.

Man it is going to be one hell of a bunfight for a play off spot second half of the season.

by Guest Wed 28 Dec 2011, 9:39 am

Going to be tough just looked at the run in. Think keeping squads fresh could be key

by **Ozzy3213** Wed 28 Dec 2011, 9:41 am

Just been updating the European stuff as well.

Heino pools up to date now. Glaws top seeds at present Mat, nice home QF for you.

Pooly, if the seedings stay as they are, it's me and you buddy, at Vicarage Road in the quarters.

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 28 Dec 2011, 11:03 am

Be a Falcons second XV if so Pete, concentrating on the league this season Smile

by **Ozzy3213** Wed 28 Dec 2011, 11:05 am

I think there's plenty of time for things to change in any case.

You intent on retaining the title then mate? Not been done so far since the game started, and to be fair, I am definitely after regaining it this season! Wink

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 28 Dec 2011, 12:11 pm

Hopefully a repeat of last season Wink

by Steven_Sharks Wed 28 Dec 2011, 12:49 pm

Play offs will be so tight this year. I'll do very well to hold onto my spot as I still have to go to Newcastle, Sarries, Gloucester, Sale, Exeter and Saints. Also doesn't help me that I don't have all that many SH players who will be availible during 6N as many of my top men are from NH.

Will be very interesting.

Pooly I am away from PC so on draft just pick me rooney or sackey or the best player availible Please

by **Ozzy3213** Wed 28 Dec 2011, 12:57 pm

Lot's of twists and turns still to come I suspect Steve, likewise in the real AP where it's even tighter than in this game.

Unbeliveable that the Chiefs got a losing binus point away from home and dropped from 3rd to 8th as a result. That is tough.

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 28 Dec 2011, 12:58 pm

Yea no probs Steve

by 'Arry Spurs Wed 28 Dec 2011, 7:12 pm

Anyone about for some deals?

by prop_lyd Wed 28 Dec 2011, 11:34 pm

Watching the Sarries vs Quins match.......how quick is Saull??!!

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 28 Dec 2011, 11:40 pm

Probably all those splinters in his ass after warming the bench for best parts of two seasons!

Really could do with a move, good prospect but is getting took over by others due to lack of game time

by Driver Wed 28 Dec 2011, 11:42 pm

http://www.skysports.com/tv_show/story/0,,12380_7392291,00.html

Chris may have a point about Props not being the brightest bunch.

by prop_lyd Wed 28 Dec 2011, 11:45 pm

He'd look good in cherry and white!! Oi Driver....us front rowers are very intellectual and i play 1-2-3!!

Cowan/Reddan available, after a 13 and a hooker

by Driver Wed 28 Dec 2011, 11:53 pm

Us forwards have the best banter anyway! And were the reason what goes on Tour stays on Tour!

by prop_lyd Thu 29 Dec 2011, 12:41 am

Just so you know i'm away for new years so won't be able to predict till eve of 1st or on the 2nd sorry!!

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 29 Dec 2011, 3:22 pm

Interesting Healy thinks Homer should be starting wing for England...

by **Ozzy3213** Thu 29 Dec 2011, 3:26 pm

Where did you read that Pooly?

He had a good game on the wing on Tuesday against the Chiefs, but I still see full back as his best position.

His attacking game is coming on, you can see him trying to run the ball more now than he used to, but he's not ready for England yet. He needs the rest of the season with Irish, and maybe a Saxons spot either in the 6 Nations or the summer, and just let him develop naturally.

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 29 Dec 2011, 3:28 pm

The highlights show Pete

by **Ozzy3213** Thu 29 Dec 2011, 3:31 pm

I think Healy is jumping the gun a bit, Homer is a very good player, and will continue to improve as he ahs a good worj ethic, but he's not ready for international rugby just yet, especially not on the wing.

If there was a sudden crisis and Foden, Armitage and Brown were all unavailable, I would possibly take him at full back over Morgan and Goode, but would rather see him play Saxons first to be honest.

by dammit_chris Thu 29 Dec 2011, 3:46 pm

I like Homer, think his attaacking is a bit underrated because of his kicking game - if we had a fly half who couldnt kick goals then there might be a chance for him in the England fold , but I think that there are a lot better options coming through on the wings for England atm - e.g. would much prefer Jonny May given a try there...

Really don't like the ESPN commentators, its just a Leicester old boy club. I really like the Sky team though - think Greenwood and Dean Ryan are great and show a lot of knowledge. Often wondered whehter they could become good coaches?

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 29 Dec 2011, 3:49 pm

Chris I couldn't agree more. I quite liked the patter with Kay and Healy at first but Healy is a prize tool tbh, some of his statements are bizarre.

by **Ozzy3213** Thu 29 Dec 2011, 3:57 pm

He says things for effect rather than actually meaning them to be honest.

I like Ben Kay, he gives some good analysis, particularly of forward play, but Healy gets very irritating very quickly.

by **Ozzy3213** Thu 29 Dec 2011, 3:58 pm

Here's a question then, on current form, if you had to select an uncapped XV for England, who would you have?

by **Ozzy3213** Thu 29 Dec 2011, 4:06 pm

15. Homer
14. May
13. Trinder
12. Barritt
11. Sharples
10. Farrell
9. Lewis

1. Marler
2. Gray
3. ???
4. Garvey
5. Robson
6. ???
7. Wallace

by Steven_Sharks Thu 29 Dec 2011, 4:39 pm

15. May
14. Sharples
13. Trinder
12. Barritt
11. Thompstone

Though Dowson got a cap down in Aus didn't he? May have been a midweek game though so possibly not.
