Stop baiting Torq, C69.

Austin should shut the fuck up already, three times he's bayed for a penalty or a card and it's been absolutely nothing. He just makes shit up.

Saracens attack is just too predictable, LaR able to rush the real targets with no hassle. With no threat closer to the breakdown there's just no danger outside of a turnover counter attack.

Oh good Austin screaming again about an early tackle, on replay it's absolutely nothing again

Sarries have had 3/4 try scoring opportunities and blown them all. LR have one and smash it out the park

Rubbish by Itoje running sideways. Made that far too easy.

Bourgarit is never going to challenge for Fra again unless he fixes his pie throwing.

The lack of leadership on the field is staggering !

They should have recognised the problem after 15-20 mins, & come up with a plan B, but instead they need someone to tell them at HT

Tough watch. Hard to argue with any of the breakdown penalties, if you can’t retain possession for more than four phases it will be hard to attack, which makes it all the more impressive we have actually had chances to score.

There’s a clear aim of tiring LR out, not sure it has worked so far but hopefully there’ll be a bit more space opening up. In the meantime I wouldn’t mind a DG attempt or two to try and hang in there.

Nothing wrong with that throw, superb work by Isiekwe to get fingertips to it.

Out of interest what is the plan B you’d cook up on the fly here? Were it not for cymbals hands and Billy deciding to throw a miss pass Sarries would probably have a couple of tries on the board here, not sure what you do about that

Not sure that any of those were proper try scoring opportunities. The Itoje knock on probably the best chance.

Bad start for Saracens. Dreadful penalty given away by Mako then Tompkins throws a pass straight into touch.

Wray has already done more good than Billy, though.

Allegedly being paid to play. Itoje complaining about not being paid enough, well maybe learn how to catch a ball first

More dumb by Sarries but don't think Botia was supporting his weight there.

{EDIT} No. He was!

HIA Torq.

Someone needs to tell Saracens the pull back play is not the only attacking tactic. Looking like England at the moment.

LaR really finding no way to get Danty into the game again unlike when he is in a Fre jersey. The whole point of picking Seutenin was to run off him but if he's not getting the ball.

Bottia was brain dead cutting back inside there. Been too easy for him up till now.

Saracens unlucky 5m out, twice Skelton got away with penalty offences.

Yeah. I've never rated him playing in the backs. If he's not getting red carded (and costing HEC finals), he's going crash-bang happy with no vision for what's on around him.

More brain dead. Turnover and ball needed to go immediately right but trucks up alone into traffic and turns it back over. :evil:

It's officially a cripple fight now. Didn't think LaR could play as badly as last week again but its worse.

The scrum feeds are ridiculous and there is not a brake foot in sight. Total joke.

Botia not passing actually pays off

Not sure what Farrell was doing there
