2022/23 Champions/Challenge Cup

[ASMO]

Antonios gut in slow mo replay is not pleasant

[Torquemada 1420]

Both sides playing non regulars on the flank. I get Botia but what's Sarries' thinking on Isiekwe?

[Paddington Bear]

Sarries playing with decent ambition and pace but lacking the final pass. Clear attempt to wear them out

[Torquemada 1420]

Antonios gut in slow mo replay is not pleasant

I'll have you know his gut is the fastest moving part of his physique

[Torquemada 1420]

Dulin is no Ramos.

[C69]

Antonio really is fecking huge.

[Torquemada 1420]

FFS Brace, just let the teams play.

[Paddington Bear]

‘Leave it!’
Doesn’t leave it
Scrum

Christie is injured (broken arm)

[C69]

Yellow soon surely

[Torquemada 1420]

Yellow soon surely

Agree. 4 pens in a row against Sarries.

[C69]

Sarries backrow is utter gash.
Wray brings nothing at all

[Paddington Bear]

Think we’ve got to kick out our own half with the breakdown situation

[Torquemada 1420]

Sarries retarded running into Botia and Danty. They'll kill you at the breakdown.

[ASMO]

Sarries getting decimated at the breakdown

[C69]

Some borderline high and late tackles from the French

[Torquemada 1420]

So far this is dodgy chip van after yesterday's Michelin * fare.

[Torquemada 1420]

And Sarries run into Botia yet again with the same result

[Paddington Bear]

That was a huge chance ffs

[JM2K6]

Stop baiting Torq, C69.

Austin should shut the fuck up already, three times he's bayed for a penalty or a card and it's been absolutely nothing. He just makes shit up.

Saracens attack is just too predictable, LaR able to rush the real targets with no hassle. With no threat closer to the breakdown there's just no danger outside of a turnover counter attack.

Oh good Austin screaming again about an early tackle, on replay it's absolutely nothing again

[C69]

That shot on Farrell looked dodgy

[Torquemada 1420]

Perfect conditions and both sides with hands like tits.

[Oxbow]

That was nicely done.

[C69]

Lovely try

[ASMO]

Too easy, LaR decide to play a bit of rugby, score an easy try

[Paddington Bear]

Sarries have had 3/4 try scoring opportunities and blown them all. LR have one and smash it out the park

[Torquemada 1420]

Finally some decent rugby.

[ASMO]

Saracens attack utterly predictable.......wonder why?

[Torquemada 1420]

Rubbish by Itoje running sideways. Made that far too easy.

[Torquemada 1420]

Bourgarit is never going to challenge for Fra again unless he fixes his pie throwing.

[fishfoodie]

Saracens attack utterly predictable.......wonder why?

The lack of leadership on the field is staggering !

They should have recognised the problem after 15-20 mins, & come up with a plan B, but instead they need someone to tell them at HT

[Paddington Bear]

Tough watch. Hard to argue with any of the breakdown penalties, if you can’t retain possession for more than four phases it will be hard to attack, which makes it all the more impressive we have actually had chances to score.

There’s a clear aim of tiring LR out, not sure it has worked so far but hopefully there’ll be a bit more space opening up. In the meantime I wouldn’t mind a DG attempt or two to try and hang in there.

[JM2K6]

Bourgarit is never going to challenge for Fra again unless he fixes his pie throwing.

Nothing wrong with that throw, superb work by Isiekwe to get fingertips to it.

Out of interest what is the plan B you’d cook up on the fly here? Were it not for cymbals hands and Billy deciding to throw a miss pass Sarries would probably have a couple of tries on the board here, not sure what you do about that

[JM2K6]

Not sure that any of those were proper try scoring opportunities. The Itoje knock on probably the best chance.

[Torquemada 1420]

FM, the handling in this game is an embarrassment.

[JM2K6]

Bad start for Saracens. Dreadful penalty given away by Mako then Tompkins throws a pass straight into touch.

Wray has already done more good than Billy, though.

[ASMO]

FM, the handling in this game is an embarrassment.

Allegedly being paid to play. Itoje complaining about not being paid enough, well maybe learn how to catch a ball first

[JM2K6]

SHUT UP AUSTIN

[Torquemada 1420]

More dumb by Sarries but don't think Botia was supporting his weight there.

{EDIT} No. He was!
