Top Job

[Ali Cadoo]

Marler making a mess out of the Sale scrum.

Edit - my bad, that was the tight head doing damage.

[Jim Lahey]

Jeez there is some amount of rust on show here.

[RodneyRegis]

WTF is this crowd noise

[sockwithaticket]

Enjoying the speed of reffing at the breakdown.

Yes, very interesting

Dull as fuck so far though

[Ali Cadoo]

Well, hopefully this puts paid to the ‘easy rugby’ myth, they’re making this look incredibly difficult.

[Margin__Walker]

See the zero tolerance approach still doesn't seem to apply to the ref's 'use it' call

[RodneyRegis]

9 pens in 20 mins - warning?

[Margin__Walker]

9 pens in 20 mins - warning?

Unlikely for a little bit, given the ref will be a bit sheepish about being conned on the last one.

[Ali Cadoo]

9 pens in 20 mins - warning?

I think warnings go for deliberate offences. You can’t really card for being shit.

[fishfoodie]

9 pens in 20 mins - warning?

Nah; Ref is exercising a little discretion for the 1st game back, & some new laws.

If it's the same in 3-4 games time I'd be cross.

Conned he was, but given we had a 3-man overlap when he blew up perhaps justice was done.

It'll take a couple of games to blow the rust out I reckon (not that shit games are impossible even at the best of times). Start of the season can be pretty bad and that's usually with the benefit of a few warm up games which is understandably not the case here.

[fishfoodie]

A few players blowing already; is it scorching in London tonight ?

[Margin__Walker]

Tough watch so far

[RodneyRegis]

This is dross

[Margin__Walker]

Ball retention is really tough

Dunno about London conditions, though I'm within 40 miles and things are significantly cooler than they have been, but it's the first proper run out in ages. Training doesn't really compare with matches.

Mike Brown Can he actually pass? Not sure I’ve ever seen one

Rancid JMK bait.

Marchant picking up bad habits from SR.

MAgic from Earle.

Lovely from Earle.

In this match, I’ll take what I can get.

[Nols]

Was it Earle who did the crap kick into the goal area to waste the break?

Ref doing well here I think

[RodneyRegis]

Was it Earle who did the crap kick into the goal area to waste the break?

I believe so. Shame.

[Ali Cadoo]

My eyes.... :(

[Nols]

Ref doing well here I think

I like his demeanor with the players so far.

[RodneyRegis]

[Hal Jordan]

I'll take 9-0 after that...display.

(Read in the voice of the Imperial officer confronted with a handcuffed Chewbacca in Star Wars).

[Margin__Walker]

Oh dear. Fitting end to the half from Sale

[Kawazaki]

I know it's raining but this doesn't compare well with Rugby Aotearoa does it.

We poach only the finest South African beef. Keep that flashy stuff.
