The Official English Rugby Thread

[ASMO]

This demonstrates why Bristol wont win the premiership, even if they manage to win this, whoever they meet in the final will beat them. As mentally fragile a team as you will see.

[sockwithaticket]

Jesus, ducked out for 15 minutes to run an errand look at the score I come back to!

[JM2K6]

Great try. Real shame Quins were gunshy at that ruck having been whistled to death by Barnes in the first half.

[JM2K6]

Oh, that's forward

[sockwithaticket]

There can't be any debate over that surely? Looks obviously forward.

[JM2K6]

61 minutes - Barnes penalises Bristol at the breakdown.

Gosh.

[Oxbow]

Dallaglio still wanted to give it.

[JM2K6]

Haha, that scrum, holy shit

[JM2K6]

Probably forward?

[sockwithaticket]

Looks forward out of the hands from Green.

[Oxbow]

Yeah, that looks forward.

[sockwithaticket]

Crucial tackle from Lynagh there, if it goes wrong then Bristol were in.

[sockwithaticket]

Not entirely convinced Lynagh was supporting his weight for the duration of that turnover, but that's so randomly enforced you can;t take issue.

[sockwithaticket]

Nice.

[JM2K6]

Not entirely convinced Lynagh was supporting his weight for the duration of that turnover, but that's so randomly enforced you can;t take issue.

Agreed. Barnes giving Randall 7 seconds at every ruck deserved this anyway

[sockwithaticket]

Extra time!!

[JM2K6]

Extra time

We looked good at the end there! Amazing hands at times

[sockwithaticket]

Extra time

Yep, I thought you were going to engineer another last gasp score.

[JM2K6]

Yeah was reasonably confident tbh, seemed almost inevitable. Bristol must be very glad for the chance to regroup now!

[JM2K6]

Goddamnit Lang you had to throw the pass there

[sockwithaticket]

Do Quins know they only need extra time to end in a draw?

[JM2K6]

Do Quins know they only need extra time to end in a draw?

Probably not!

[duke]

Probably not!

Commentator mentioned tries then a penalty kick comp

[SaintK]

3 cons and a penalty missed by Sheedy! Could be costly

[sockwithaticket]

How've they not stopped the game? PLay has gone close to that injury a few times and it's grossly unfair to ask Quins to play with 14 during extra time through no fault of their own.

[sockwithaticket]

Clock well in the red on extra time. There are going to be some absolutely ruined players at the end of this.

[sockwithaticket]

Thought Green had fucked it there, huge score.

[JM2K6]

Thought Green had fucked it there, huge score.

Ah I knew was a try as soon as Smith nailed the pass. Amazing stepper.

[sockwithaticket]

17 minutes of extra time in just the first period. Marler still going and still punishing the Bris scrum is entering superman territory.

[sockwithaticket]

Thought Green had fucked it there, huge score.

Ah I knew was a try as soon as Smith nailed the pass. Amazing stepper.

I thought he had just a little bit too far to go if he ended up with someone hanging off him., but fair play.

[Kawazaki]

Right, what's happened?

Been to the gym.

[sockwithaticket]

One of the most incredible second halves in Prem history depending on when you went.

[Hal Jordan]

Everyone looks utterly funked.

[Kawazaki]

Malins hat-trick. Not too shabby.

[sockwithaticket]

Llloyd has yet to convince me he's the wunderkind so many seem to claim.

[sockwithaticket]

Green stepping half the Bristol team there.

[JM2K6]

Malins hat-trick. Not too shabby.

He's been good, and in a mad game you can forgive him shitting the bed under the high ball to give Quins their first try and being carried over the line by Green for Quins last try. Handy player though, great feet on him.

[Kawazaki]

He's real quality. A proper fullback.

[JM2K6]

That's high, sadly

[Tichtheid]

Proper cup rugby this
