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

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
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.

Well we won it, not pretty, but I'll take a 3-0 win over 33-34 loss any day.

Congrats. Anyone but Saracens is good obviously, if I could have picked anyone it would have been Leicester.Dave Cahill wrote: ↑June 18th, 2022, 5:33 pmCongrats TB!tigerburnie wrote: ↑June 18th, 2022, 5:27 pm Well we won it, not pretty, but I'll take a 3-0 win over 33-34 loss any day.

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
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.riocard911 wrote: ↑June 18th, 2022, 5:56 pm 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?
As in their logo.

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
Yeah, well done. Sarries looked like they were gonna try and steamroll yiz, but Leicester weren't having any of it. Very impressive.Oldschoolsocks wrote: ↑June 18th, 2022, 6:14 pmEnjoy the win TB,tigerburnie wrote: ↑June 18th, 2022, 5:27 pm Well we won it, not pretty, but I'll take a 3-0 win over 33-34 loss any day.

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
We can learn from both Bulls & Tigers short penalty tries. Both effective and inventive.

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
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.
Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
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.
