2024/2025 Not Heineken Cup

[sockwithaticket]

Furbank and Ramm gone already is certainly not ideal for Saints.

Also incredibly bad luck for Furbank. Second comeback this season that's ended in injury.

[Oxbow]

Ah fuck's sake.

[SaintK]

Saints fucked now

[Kawazaki]

That's shocking luck for Saints.

We might see Pollock in the backs at this rate.

[Tichtheid]

Moefana in tractor mode

[Blackmac]

Poor there from Freeman.

[Oxbow]

That went backwards mate.

[sockwithaticket]

That's a Nigel Owens type 'knock on'. Absolute field position gift to Bordeaux from the ref.

Forward pass from Bip-bip to Penaud?

[Oxbow]

And that went forwards.

[SaintK]

wtf
AR has his flag up and the ref says play on

[Blackmac]

That went backwards mate.

It did and it's pathetic how often the refs give them just because they see a fumble.

[Blackmac]

That's forward.

[Kawazaki]

Saint's fans know a forward pass when they see one don't they.

[Lady P]

I thought that was flat tbh….but I’ve been watching a lot of passes against Saracens

[Tichtheid]

Hopefully Hutch will get a run in a Scotland jersey in the summer

[Lady P]

Also not a knock on

[SaintK]

Shoulder to Locketts head
Where’s the TMO

In the discussion about last night's Underhill incident I was tempted to say that we will almost certainly see a similar one today.

[Blackmac]

BB is a niggly wee Cnut.

[Tichtheid]

That was rather tasty from Jailibert

[Oxbow]

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

Yep
Every 50/50 so far

[Lady P]

I fear the back three injuries are really going to hurt Saints which is a big shame.

[PCPhil]

Northampton just missing too many 1st man there tackles.

Apart from the choke there

[Blackmac]

Surely that gets reversed. A choke is okay as long as you don't twist. WTF.

[Lady P]

Penaud drops the ball and an alarm goes off on Torq’s computer.

[sockwithaticket]

I have no idea what's meant to be a knock on/forward or not in this game.

[Blackmac]

"Pollock half joining in" absolutely sums up his game so far.

[Lady P]

I have no idea what's meant to be a knock on/forward or not in this game.

If you drop it, it went forward. It’s like watching league!

[ASMO]

Smith, Freeman and Mitchell all having poor games, Pollock anonymous so far

[Blackmac]

Smith, Freeman and Mitchell sll having poor games, Pollock anonymous so far

Freeman's desperately looking for work to be fair.

[Oxbow]

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

[Torquemada 1420]

The French ref you're thinking of is Aurélie Groizeleau, who is very good. She is very much still around and was the ref for the Ireland England match in the Women's 6N. She will be one of the main referees for the Women's World Cup this year.

Thanks.

[Tichtheid]

Here we go

[SaintK]

There is a TMO

[Tichtheid]

Yup.

[Hal Jordan]

Just found the S4C feed on YouTube!

[Blackmac]

Ooops. That's red.
