Parling

What a start!!!

by BigTrevsbigmac Sat 27 Oct 2012, 4:48 pm

Burns, Morgan, Sharples try !

by Geordie Sat 27 Oct 2012, 4:58 pm

Pleased to see Morgan doing exactly what he should be...powering with that ball....in heavy traffic aswell...

He MUST do that for England...

by **LondonTiger** Sat 27 Oct 2012, 5:00 pm

That should be a try for hamilton

by **LondonTiger** Sat 27 Oct 2012, 5:01 pm

Looks like it may be a decent game

by BigTrevsbigmac Sat 27 Oct 2012, 5:04 pm

Yep good off load there by Tuilagi to set up try

by Geordie Sat 27 Oct 2012, 5:04 pm

Bad day at tghe office for youngs throwing...thats his first two gone pear shaped

by **LondonTiger** Sat 27 Oct 2012, 5:07 pm

Nah 1st and third - second was good.

But sentiment is correct.

by BigTrevsbigmac Sat 27 Oct 2012, 5:10 pm

Burns making a name for himself again - good try!

by **LondonTiger** Sat 27 Oct 2012, 5:11 pm

As soon as Lancaster can make form changes to the EPS in january, Burns has to be in the squad.

by Geordie Sat 27 Oct 2012, 5:18 pm

Thats so true LT...Twelvetrees aswell...

by BigTrevsbigmac Sat 27 Oct 2012, 5:18 pm

Great attacking intent by Glaws. Pretty to watch.

by Geordie Sat 27 Oct 2012, 5:29 pm

Ah Tom Youngs...you need to sort that out...

by **LondonTiger** Sat 27 Oct 2012, 5:30 pm

Crane and Mulipola have gone off after being injured while carrying the ball into a tackle.

by **LondonTiger** Sat 27 Oct 2012, 5:31 pm

That should be a YC against Glaws. Cynical in front of the posts. Bet JP won't though.

by BigTrevsbigmac Sat 27 Oct 2012, 5:34 pm

Good game so far. Tough one to predict @ HT.

by majesticimperialman Sat 27 Oct 2012, 5:38 pm

Great first half gloucecster deserve to be in front...But what a cracker of a second half to come.

by maestegmafia Sat 27 Oct 2012, 5:56 pm

Gloucester are making the sport look easy. Great inter passing Leicester caught flat footed in defence a number of times.

by BigTrevsbigmac Sat 27 Oct 2012, 5:57 pm

Cole turn over. That is why he is no 1 in the NH right now.

by thebluesmancometh Sat 27 Oct 2012, 5:59 pm

Why is it Gloucester cannot produce the quality they are capable of week in week out, or even for a whole game, infact even for a half of rugby at one time?!?!?!

by **LondonTiger** Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:03 pm

Some great (legal) blocking in that run.

Another two of our players down Sad

by maestegmafia Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:03 pm

Well played Simpson-Daniel.

Great try there. Leicester are struggling with the open game.

It's taking Nigel Davies some time but he is really turning these guys around.

by thebluesmancometh Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:04 pm

WOW!!!

Had he been welsh, he wouldve been as reveared as Shane Williams. Thats some statement of Sharples ability, and that try was very Williams esque!!

by BigTrevsbigmac Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:05 pm

Barnes does go over the top though. Murphy was injured & that made the try a lot easier.
Well played Simpson-Daniel but please.....

by thebluesmancometh Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:05 pm

Is it Davies's input though MM?

Gloucester for the last few seasons have shown some absolute class but then counter it with match losing guff!!!

Not blocking just great open field running. three on two overlap used text book style.

Gloucester are playing like the Scarlets.

by thebluesmancometh Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:07 pm

He does get excited Bigtrev, but that run was very Williams in style. Not saying they are on par but I see where he's coming from at least.

PS if he was Welsh he wouldve had a few caps before Cuthbert and North and now would be left to rot, seems to be the welsh way.

Sublime back play but powder puff up front?

by BigTrevsbigmac Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:08 pm

Should have been a yellow a minute a go when maul pulled down

by thebluesmancometh Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:10 pm

How is that not a penalty try???

by maestegmafia Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:11 pm

Ruck ruck cross field kick...!

Tigers fans must be getting infuriated...!

That yellow card is inconsistent. It is the right decision but never implied and was a harsh decision because sharples was tying to catch the ball...

Lets hope this poor referring decision isn't the influence for the game.

by thebluesmancometh Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:13 pm

You mean the slap into touch MM??

It was Cook the FB, not Sharples mate, and shouldve been a pen try IMHO!

Wrong on many counts. Firstly it was FB Cooke.
Secondly it was a good kick.
Thirdly it was probably going to be a try so therefor a penalty try.

by **LondonTiger** Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:14 pm

I do not see it as a PT - I doubt goneva would have got there. But sorry, only a blind person would think cook was trying to catch that.

by **LondonTiger** Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:14 pm

Blimey

It only has to be PROBABLY a try to be a penalty try.

by EnglishReign Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:15 pm

Tigers get the England call ups, Glaws get all the tries

by thebluesmancometh Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:16 pm

Ye I'm with bigtrev, for me it bounces two ways, dead or into the hands of Genova, probably a try so pen try for me, and yellow!

by **LondonTiger** Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:17 pm

ER,

When the squad was selected in August - could you in any sound conscience countenance many Glaws inclusions - after all the way they finished last season was awful.

by **LondonTiger** Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:18 pm

Impressed that tom youngs throwing was solid on those pressure throws on the Glaws line.

by EnglishReign Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:18 pm

Been that way for years mate

I'm confused, are Cole and Tuilagi and Flood and Morgan all dropped from the EPS then?

by **LondonTiger** Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:21 pm

Really - when did Gloucester last score the most tries in a Premiership season?

by **LondonTiger** Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:21 pm

Tigers are too manic here.

by **LondonTiger** Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:25 pm

I see Tom Youngs has a shiner

by thebluesmancometh Sat 27 Oct 2012, 6:27 pm

Whos the ref, it's nice to see someone actually admit that if theres no offence theres no penalty at the scrum.

He actually looks like he wants to let teams scrummage, I bet the O's wished that was the case last week.
