Ridiculous that that carries the same penalty as Underhill yesterday.

You should get on the same coaching teams as Hollie.

It should be, but, as we all know, there's clearly some undisclosed directive to basically only issue yellows. :problem:

Absolutely no attempt to drop his tackle height even though he had time to set himself.

Clown show from the officials. All sorts being missed and ignored on top of inconsistent interpretations.

What. I really don't know what you expect of a 10 if that was no great shakes. There was no big moments but it was absolutely what his team needed.

I thought Russell was excellent, lots of hard flat passes across the defence, he made his kicks at goal and managed the clock perfectly to take his team out of sight in the last quarter

So sloppy from Northampton for that try.

Maybe because that clearly wasn't deliberate?

2 teams renowned for shipping a mass of points quickly. Could go either way. B-B to FB is a big mistake. Retiere has played there.

Cracking try. Wonderful conversion. Going in at the break level given how this half has played out is huge for Saints.

And it's a fast flowing great game, over refereeing ruins every spectacle. Light touch is best.

Remember which side tends to go to sleep from these 2.
