Tomkins is utterly useless. Again his pass leads to a turnover. Why have England selected this clown again?

Re: No Saints / Sarries thread?
Clark seemed to drop a knee on Farrell after Farrell conceded the silly penalty that led to the first Saints try. The low life lucky not to get a 10 minute sit down.
Sarries not at the races and the defence doesn't look organised without Barritt. Saints look up for this. An East Midlands final would be a massive ding dong battle.

Bad luck Blues, the ESPN coverage is miles ahead of what Sky offer.
No Barritt to organise the defence and look for Tonkins offloads. Massive loss for Sarries.

Odd 4 minutes I just watched, all Sarries ball but going nowhere.
Farell missing a sitter...
How has the rest of the half been? Have the lions boys been ok?

Awful from Sarries. Northampton allowed to waste time at every scrum and lineout and not to mention how long they get at stationary mauls.
Sarries trying to offload from every contact, resulting in few completed passes and many turnovers. I'm not even sure Saints are laying particularly well in attack its just that sarries dont look at all there. Great in defence mind, Saints seem impenetrable

Farrell still does not look his best. Saints look hungrier. Sarries disjointed adn Saints not giving them anything

Farell justifying his Lions spot i see, beyond the NZ game what has he done?
Anyway im going to casually support Saints next season now North is there,just like i did with Wasps when Stevo went.

Saints have completely dominated the collisions, breakdown especially. Very similar to Wales England. Sarries just havent been able to get their game going an Saints have taken their chances.
Apart from Hartley not been a great showing from the Lions lads.

What did the majority of the Welsh team do apart from the England game?
Farrell's performance against NZ just be taken into account just as much as the England game for the Welsh players surely?
Also very hard for a fly half to look good when his pack is taking a pounding like this.

Manu mate, don't lower yourself to that trolls level
With regards to the lions boys Farells miss was a shocker, and he hasn't been playing well recently, worrying knowing that he's Sextons ONLY back up!!!
Farell is becoming a little like Youngs to me, I have to watch them through my fingers in the hope they get better or get nowhere near a test. I really hope Farell pulls it out of the bag second half though, he needs the boost!!!

could Hogg get some gametime at 10? Now that would be a gamble but look at the form the boy is in.

He had 30 mins the other night, and looked ok, but he is going to have to be involved on the tour, Sexton and Farell can't play EVERY game, can they?

Re: No Saints / Sarries thread?
Someone has lit a fire under the Saints arses, I haven't seen them defend like this in a long time. I'm supporting them as I really want to see an East Midlands derby in the AP final. Would be an all action game with real bite.
Saracens haven't crept out of first gear yet. The loss of Hodgson is a major loss, Barritt's huge influence is being magnified in this big game.

I assumed the plan was Sexton with Farrell on the bench for the tests. Farell with hogg at 15 midweek and hogg takes over if Farrell injured

Re: No Saints / Sarries thread?
Stevens has given away so many penalties I've lost count. Awful decision to ask him to tour.
Hartley's been very good. Mako's made a couple of big carries, but not done anything spectacular. Farrell hasn't really been able to get into the game and missed a sitter, but his pack have been dominated by Northampton.

Re: No Saints / Sarries thread?
Sarries really need to get tore into them this next ten mins. See if they can wind hartley up would help as well

Re: No Saints / Sarries thread?
Farrell behind a pack that is giving him a platform does a good job IMO and normally his kicking is outstanding. However he lacks the ability and I think more so the know how to work on the back foot. But I think that will come with time.

Re: No Saints / Sarries thread?
How did Strettle not score there? Is he afraid of burns if he slides in?
Is the pitch slippery when wet? I the Sarries footwear not correct?
Why is it Farell can't just pass with a spin rather than that stupid floated moving league pass?

Playing for penalties from Scrums annoys me. FFS we don't want to see the fat boys hiding the ball all the time

As usual Bluesman. Sarries needed more than 3 pts tho - getting on top but need tries!

Re: No Saints / Sarries thread?
Farell misses touch
I am really starting to get worried about certain players selected to tour now, North has had 3 stinkers in a row now, Youngs isn't good enough, Stevens is struggling and Farell falls apart when things don't go his way!!
And even worse rumours are that 1/2p actually missed a 45 yarder in training the other day...

Farrell undoubtedly having a bad game, but that missed touch was Wigglesworth.

Farrell is not really validating his dad's faith in him. Some awful passing.
Saints give Sarries a chance with moronic yellow card.
Sigh. Again. Really. I thought you whined enough about him yesterday when I appeared you'd just not paid attention to the game. Can we focus on this encounter.
