“Your advantage Wiggs”

“Are you going for goal Faz?”

Classic Barnsey mate


Enjoyable game all the same.

Classic Barnes trying to decide the game through his own bad calls though.

What a negative game. We played "gaining ground" as kids, but without a pack of forwards in front of each kicker. There must have been more than 100 kicks from half-backs & full-backs. But described as a "wonderful final" by Austin Healey.

A great finale, but lousy rugby.

Big time! Anyone else find Ben Earls' "wide-eyed and crazy" routine extremely tiring?

Congrats. Anyone but Saracens is good obviously, if I could have picked anyone it would have been Leicester.

Anyone know what the wings symbol under the Saracens name on the jerseys and on Mark McCall's t-shirt represents? Anything to do with the Paras?

It’s the clothing brand Castore, they do a few football teams as well like Newcastle United.

As in their logo.

Yeah, well done. Sarries looked like they were gonna try and steamroll yiz, but Leicester weren't having any of it. Very impressive.

We can learn from both Bulls & Tigers short penalty tries. Both effective and inventive.

Thanks guys, yeh maybe not quite "Harlem Globetrotters" chuckin' it about style, clearly a game plan to play them at their own game and win, which worked. Some of the early season games showed we can win using the backs for more than defence, but Borthwick is the guy for minute detail plans it would seem, plan to do a job and win, at least it worked this time, clearly went wrong against your lads.

England 21 - Barbarians 52 with Skelton (Barbarians) dismissed on 36th minute. Clearly England minus Sarries & Leicester is not as dominant as Jones predicted. Couldn't watch it but match reports say Ba-Bas pack devoured England, even with Curry & Underwood in their back-row.
