He's surely the oldest outside back to have played Premiership rugby in the pro era at this point?SaintK wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 10:36 am Good on him!

Now lets get him capped. And Dingwall too.
He's also doubled the number of clubs whose fans don't think he's an aggressive maniac.sockwithaticket wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 11:59 amHe's surely the oldest outside back to have played Premiership rugby in the pro era at this point?SaintK wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 10:36 am Good on him!

And yet he looks like he could keep going for a while yet.
Come now, surely Quins and Tigers fans still think he's an aggressive maniac? They've just come around to it being a good thing.Hal Jordan wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 4:09 pmHe's also doubled the number of clubs whose fans don't think he's an aggressive maniac.sockwithaticket wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 11:59 amHe's surely the oldest outside back to have played Premiership rugby in the pro era at this point?SaintK wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 10:36 am Good on him!

Yep, Denying he's signed. Not denying talks etc. I think this is happening, but we'll see.sockwithaticket wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 5:33 pm Racing denying it

Lovely pass from Farrell for that try.Paddington Bear wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 3:01 pm Big game kicking off at Welford Road in both clubs’ seasons
That finish from the exeter winger was very good.sockwithaticket wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 3:22 pm Saints with a nightmare opening quarter down at Sandy Park. 19 - 0 to Chiefs.

And so it proves! 2 in 2 minutes for Saints. The sort of score rate you need if you're going to claw back from 26 - 0sockwithaticket wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 3:36 pm Bit of sustained pressure from Saints finally. Could definitely do with at least a second try before half time.
It's been a really good contest so far. Leicester's power started to tale hold of the game in the 2nd 1/4 - if it comes down to an arm wrestle, Sarries will be up against it , especially at scrum time - they need to open it up a bit - they've looked dangerous when they've had attacking ball.Paddington Bear wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 3:48 pm Good half of rugby.

Any crowd will boo Saracens like they would boo a drug cheat, A key difference being the drug cheat doesn't tend to keep their gold medals.Paddington Bear wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 3:48 pm Good half of rugby.

While not quite as filth as Chelski, Man City and Newcastle United I have very little tolerance of this type of shit in sport. I feel sorry that it contaminates McCall's achievements as a coach because he is excellent.
EDIT i would rather still have London Irish and Worcester.
Tigers even made that hard for themselves.Paddington Bear wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 4:23 pm Sarries clinging on - combination of desperate defence, poor handling and Ben Youngs
