Appears Daly’s new years resolution was to stop tackling

Plenty for the Farrell-haters to ignore in this match.

Looks good after 20 weeks off.

Owen Farrell with a no arms tackle?

I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you.

And him getting away with no card for it, I'm even more shocked. Stunned even.

If it's no arms, it doesn't have to be to the head to be yellow.

Regular listeners of Andy Goode on his podcast will know that he hates Saracens and Farrell.

Crap attitude and likely he was overweight. Nicky Little was first choice as well.

Some good individuals in the Sarries squad in 2002 but most of the star names were right at the scrag end of their careers fluffing up their pension pots. Quite a French flavour as well;

Castaignede, Horan, Califano, Benazzi.

RFU all but confirm the next Head Coach will be English. BBC headline includes a picture of Cockers, no Faz or Edwards. Yuck

Exeter might have changed their social media badge but the logo above the door the players come out from, the badge on their shirts, and the 'Red Indian' music that accompanies them is exactly the same!

I’m surprised they didn’t phase out the entry music with immediate effect.

Dull game so far

I watched the London Irish Saints game. Pretty entertaining. I've no idea though, in an age when we're sending players off for accidental head clashes, Simmons got away with a yellow card for his reckless attempt at a clear out. Head contact, with force - why is a ruck offence exempt from the same protocols as a tackle?

Was at the game and thought he'd get a red for that. Think Barnes was wanting to be lenient as he knew he'd screwed up the non call for the not ten that should have seen a Saints player binned and possible PT a few minutes before.

Justifies by saying it was the bicep not the shoulder and low force. But it looked a red to me.

Edit - Either way it was brain dead from Simmons. No need to do it and it resulted in the floodgates opening.

Cassius Cleaves set for his senior debut for Quins in the PRC. Journos must be praying he is a successful player with a surname like that 🤣

He's gonna score a bucket load of tries in his career. We'll see if the rest of his game can keep pace.

Can you imagine him and Arundel, in a few years time, in the ENgland back 3 :crazy: Just have to hope that the other aspects of their game develop to an international standard.
