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.

Not in this game.

Offside by miles, but who cares.

Young lad playing out of position, trying too hard.

Gazzotti has a lot of learning to do too.

Jeez, some sense at last.

Oh for fuck's sake. Ah, changed his mind after TMO intervention.

That looked like it came off his foot but hey ho.

Outstanding defence.

Under pressure he is folding like a cheap pack of cards.

Ah fuck off, very few Saints players are playing well, not just Pollock. It's really weird how everyone is singling him out.

C'mon it comes with the territory he finds himself in. Biggest name in rugby at the moment. People will ...

Big turnover from Pollock.

That's not a try you daft twats.

Sorry how the hell do you get that nonsense. I've pointed out the obvious. He seems completely at sea in this game and has been utterly ineffective. How that translates to "don't like" seems a bizarre comment and unusually stupid from you.

Not sure he’s at sea but not as prominent as usual ...

I think you'd need to decapitate somebody to get a red these days.

Ah shit.

Pollock is getting stick because he's so visible, Kemeney is pretty anonymous too but nobody has mentioned that.

Not yet.

Smith playing himself out of the Lions test 23

Finn Russell was no great shakes yesterday. Marcus to start then.

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 ...

Ridiculous that that carries the same penalty as Underhill yesterday.

Apart from the first couple of minutes Saints haven't got going at all.

Looks like the ref is going to ride us pretty hard today. Went backwards for them yet Fin knocked it on.

And that went forwards.

That went backwards mate.

Ah fuck's sake.

Shit, that's not good, Sleightholme on so early.

Haven't been this nervous about a game for years.

Coles and Langdon should be too.

As an aside, are they likely to be fit for Saturday?

Not sounding good! UBB will be at full strength with Penaud back.
Northampton are anxious over the fitness of a quartet of key players before the Champions Cup final against Bordeaux-Bègles in Cardiff ...

Coles and Langdon should be too.

You could make a decent side out of the players Saints have got injured at the moment. I really hope Augustus is back next week, that would be a huge blow.

I had two letters from HMRC this morning, one telling me I need to do my tax return, another thanking me for doing my tax return. Definitely not a waste of resources and money that.

Charlie Savala to Warriors

Scottish-qualified utility back Charlie Savala has become the second new addition to the Glasgow Warriors squad ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, after the 25-year-old agreed to make the switch to Scotstoun from English champions Northampton Saints.

Looks like a ...

Hopefully taking Austin Healy's job as the chippy ex-scrummie commentator.

The fact that we ended up with a 9 that can play wing but was playing fullback today at 10 about sums that game up. Exeter were pretty poor, a few tries at the end against a tired, depleted side puts a bit of gloss on it for them. Garside always looks good when I've seen him despite only being 4' 9".

The way the pundits and commentators were talking yesterday Saints are out but looking at the table they have a mathematical chance. Am I missing something?

It's a very faint mathematical chance, possible yet highly improbable. They've put the B team out for today's game, so I doubt they'll ...

Some interesting selections from Bristol today.

Just seen it, it's a ridiculously callow team but to be fair Saints have a shit ton of injuries which is why we're down to Academy lads for this one with the top lads rested.
