Surprised at Lawday continuing to keep his spot ahead of Chisholm. Must be based on discipline, Chisholm seems the superior player in all other aspects. Hope Walker improves
I think there's a strong element of 'don't change a winning lineup' Lawday is reliable, if unspectacular.
Considering how many years we had with a disastrous lineout, even with plenty of time together, I think Walker has made a good start.
Shit first throw. I think he's terrible.
That does not look forward ffs.

Against the run of play but great try. Has the makings of a cracker

Bristol score the first try, against the run of play. Have to say that was definitely a turnover penalty to Quins given Marler was on his feet over the ball, and the guy held on a for several seconds ffs, but whatever

Barnes riding Quins hard and there's too much chat from us. Just shut up, lads.

Yip, can't afford to give them easy possession, and defensively we're panicking too early. Sigh.

All down to bad decision making by Quins. Doesn't matter who you are playing, you can't afford to make those defensive errors and give away those penalties.

He wasn’t offered a contract by the SRU, he wanted one but it didn’t happen, so he became Italian

I'm not sure he's quick enough for wing internationally, fullback perhaps.

Great knack of scoring tries, but I think he might be more of a Cueto than a Lewsey...

Nice to see Barnes giving 10m for petulance. Said it before but if we don’t cut it out at club level England will end up pinged for it defending a 2 point lead.

Genuinely comical that you can drive forward five yards in a counter ruck but the opposing players can drag the guy with the ball back with them so they don't lose it

As long as it's early Cueto and not picked for years after his prime Cueto.

He scores very different kinds of tries, too. He's a unit.

Dombrandt with two very big plays in quick succession. He should be playing international rugby in a game plan that aims to get the best out of him.
