And it's a fast flowing great game, over refereeing ruins every spectacle. Light touch is best.
You make a good point.

None more so than Pollock. Incredibly off the pace.

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.

Jalibert needs to stick to what he does best. RUNNING. Leave the kicking to Lucu.

Ah, that's a shame.

Still, can you lads slag Pollock off some more? I seem to recall a lot of "Pollock's having a quiet game" before he scored against Leinster.

I think the French defender just got stuck there, BS did Coles stop him. But it’s all fictional in this match anyway.

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

Would have been brought back for the forward pass even if Coles didn't get pinged.

I sincerely hope he has a great game. Absolute breath of fresh air and great prospect. How ever, in this particular game, he is not yet performing.

It's almost as if the forwards are all trying for the 'dominant' tackle again. They all going high.

Oh cmon. If that was red then 2 UBB players should already be off.

There is a lot on his shoulders, which is why there is expectation. How often has he played 8, because I don't see him as one.

15 v 13 and kick the ball away? You deserve to lose when you do that.

Occasionally. There by necessity, he's not an 8.

That was a poor clearance kick from Smith.

Big turnover from Pollock.

Great turnover from Pollock but then he clearly should be pinged for rolling twice on the ball.

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

He's having a poor game by his standards, but we've seen him stand up under pressure before.

Definitely. I haven't paid attention to the team. Why is he playing 8 as opposed to Coles who seems more suited.
