Q for Saints or English fans, is Rory Hutchinson injured or just not selected?
Not sure right now but generally he's out of favour.

And another q
Is Tom Pearson injured?
Pearson is injured. Hutchinson I would guess is not selected because of Saints' 6-2 bench.

Lovely. Though I think maybe dial down the Lawes love - "one of the greatest ever to play the game" is seriously over egging it.

Sleightholme takes the piss sometimes. So good.

Sleightholme can't be far from an England call up. He might be better than Daly. The Saints coaching team is doing some fine player development work particularly in attack.

I fucking hate that from Mitchell. Your winger is in the ruck and you kick it.

Love that from Fin Smith though!
We had a Fin Smith game from Marcus earlier... Would be fun to get the reverse here

Looking like it could turn into Saints vs. the clock.

Very funny. This scoreline is extremely flattering to the Bulls. Dingwall really had to get that away though.

This obsession with miss passes when there is no need is infuriating, every team does it. A simple pop to Freeman who was outside him and it was trytime.

That's a really poor decision. Still, fun half, but Saints need to take this seriously.

"Maybe I'm wrong. We can make a mistake maybe" in a French accent is particularly disarming.

I was clearly insufficiently specific. 50+ more than the Bulls.

Should be a red. Dingwall doesn't land on his neck because he's actively trying not to, nothing to do with Hanekom.
