Don’t think Saints can get back from here but they’ve done bloody well with a young team and those early injuries.

FFS, just scrum straight and make Northampton play out the hard way.

It's a shame they couldn't produce more of their semi final form. UBB were there for the taking.Lady P wrote: Sat May 24, 2025 3:33 pm Don’t think Saints can get back from here but they’ve done bloody well with a young team and those early injuries.

Agreed, they should have been 20 points or more further ahead

You could substitute that the other way round. It's a final. Both teams lacking experience and not surprisingly making errors.

I fear they're falling into "the semi-final was their final" territory.

This has haunted UBB for 2 seasons now. Discipline is terrible.

No disrespect to the lad because he's done his best in trying circumstances, but Litchfield does not have top end winger pace and it's hurt Northampton's attack. If they'd been able to have one of Furbank, Ramm or Hendy out there, I think they'd have been just incisive enough to make a difference.

UBB giving a textbook example of how not to close out a game when you're two scores up.

That's as straight a line out throw as we will ever see penalised.

I’m not disputing that there have been lots of UBB mistakes, to be clear. They’ve probably dropped 20 points.

Too many Saints players were ordinary slash poor, I can only think of Coles who played well. Freeman tried hard but couldn't do it all in his own. Ref rode us hard but no way did we deserve to win, congratulations BB.
