Great rugby right up to the moment lock went all greedy.

[Torquemada 1420]

Well, that has to be yellow.

They’re shameless

Dickson

[Tichtheid]

I think the ref bottled that

Maybe Dickson is tuning into them

Bath boo boys

[Torquemada 1420]

Bath go one eyed again and again it fails to succeed.

[dkm57]

Leicester getting away with murder.

[Torquemada 1420]

Eng's best side having a horror show in handling.

[topofthemoon]

A player on the ground must not play the ball. It doesn't say anything about 'but it's ok if he's just trying to get away from the tackle'.

If they are letting him off because he's accidentally stripped it back then how is it a knock on and they don't then look at Bath touching the ball down?

Suggest you do a wiki on Karl Dickson for the answer. Again, how is a dreadful ref awarded a key game like this?

[Torquemada 1420]

How many more pens by Leicester before Dickson speaks with them?

Given that you are wrong about everything, all the time, what are the glaring errors he has made so far?

I’d suggest TOTM knows more about refs, and players for that matter, than just about anyone else.
You want info or stats on anyone in rugby, ask him.

JVG will be chucking a few oranges in the changing room about the stupid errors

Big Joe will likely drop them.

Torq is such a loser, he’d come second in Loser of the Year.

[sockwithaticket]

Didn't realise Russell was that quick tbh.

[I like neeps]

If rugby wants to be more entertaining how about less tmo involvements. Didn't need to check the pass or the tackle there.

Given that you are a one-eyed, nationalistic FRISP, I don't think it merits an answer

BTW, I was watching a show by Baddiel a week or so ago, and he made the point that the Scots are the most one eyed lot around. He is spot on.

[Oxbow]

JVP not doing his England chances any good today. Borthwick will still pick him, mind.

[Torquemada 1420]

Steward. World class FB apparently.

[Slick]

Does Ted Hill get a look in for England?

I reckon Dunn is close to MotM today

Ditto Steward.

[Oxbow]

Youngs looks like he's already eaten his retirement party cake.

He ought to. Mystifies me that there's so much chat about moving locks to 6 (mainly Chessum) or playing Hill at lock rather than just giving him a proper go. It would seem to balance our back row better too if we're picking 2 of Curry (either one), Earl and Underhill. The greatest balance of all, again on the face of it, would be 6. Hill 7. Curry/Earl/Underhill 8. T. Willis.

[Torquemada 1420]

And it's good night from them.

[Tichtheid]

Good strength from Pepper there

[I like neeps]

That will be ruled out as Muir knocked on but Radwan dearie me.

[Oxbow]

Quality from Pepper. That's the game.

[Slick]

Knock on, sadly

[fishfoodie]

Tigers making Bath look much better than they actually are

[Tichtheid]

Pretty sure the Leicester player knocked it on before that

[sockwithaticket]

That will be ruled out as Muir knocked on but Radwan dearie me.

Yeah, that was ugly from him. Admittedly none of his team mates did much to help.

[Oxbow]

Austin seems to be getting increasingly frustrated and angry. Shame.

[sockwithaticket]

When did Pollard last have a genuinely good game?

[Slick]

Come on Bath, don’t blow this
