La Rochelle are annoying enough to stay in any game. Wouldn't be ruling them out but favourites have to be as you say.

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:29 pm**

You don’t stop the game because the crowd are grumpy, absolute clown stuff from the TJ. Embarrassing

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:29 pm**

Nothing in that. Vunipola stood his ground.

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:29 pm**

Tbf to La Rochelle, they've been far more expansive and creative than last week. Saracens have been as bad as last week, with an added dash of seemingly letting the occasion get to them.

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:30 pm**

Sarries most penalties conceded, most handling errors, most tackles missed. At least they are winning something

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:31 pm**

Jesus H Kerrrist, that passing by Sarries.

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:33 pm**

Sclavi should be yellowed for that. Cynical.

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:36 pm**

Come on, string four passes together, score again and make them sweat. Please…

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:36 pm**

Not a huge lead given how long is left. Saracens not out of it still.

However long it is, it will feel twice as long. ST/Sharks game flew by yesterday. This has already felt like 3 hours.

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:44 pm**

Berjon will at least get the ball away quicker than TKB.

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:46 pm**

Thomas showing why he'll never get another intl cap. Turnstile defending which results in a Dulin's card.

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:46 pm**

Finally, a good pass in the midfield actually sets someone free. First time today for Saracens.

Clear yellow but Austin had to go one step further and scream for a penalty try despite the cover. Shut the fuck up you twat.

Earl fails to ground over the line and LaR kick the drop out dead, bizarre rugby

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:47 pm**

Can BT please do the humaitarian thing, & take Healy out behind the barn & put him out of our misery ?

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:47 pm**

Utter clownshow stuff. Not even close to not being direct

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:48 pm**

So, so dumb by Sarries. 14 men you thickos. Look for the space.

It's okay, Farrells miss pass removed the overlap neatly

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:50 pm**

So that's a red then.

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:50 pm**

IVZ was there with the ball available as well to spin it.
Unfortunate that this will be a pen and game over, but that’s two times held up

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:50 pm**

Well, that's a red.

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:51 pm**

Lots of potential mitigation here but comical from Austin to try and make out it can't possibly be reckless because the player isn't looking at the target.

Yes Austin you can actually clear out a ruck without smashing someone in the head.

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:51 pm**

Poor old Brace desperately wanting someone else to make the decision for him

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:52 pm**

"He makes a genuine attempt to clean. What else can you do?"

Not hit someone flush in the head, Austin. This isn't complicated.

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:52 pm**

Healey is beyond parody now.

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:53 pm**

Brace needs to step away from officiating along with that TMO.

Keep quiet fella, your type of selective eyesight is not required.

Yeah it's funny how when there's multiple clear replays of direct head contact I'm confident in saying there's direct head contact

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:56 pm**

Sums this game up. Shambolic throw results in a try.

Gearing up for another massive bleat are we? Go for it, should add the cherry on top

That will be upgraded to red in the week.

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:58 pm**

Whoever is doing the timekeeping has just been ignoring Brace this whole second half, probably had 4 or 5 mins drained off after he’s called time off

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:59 pm**

Congrats La Rochelle, dominated Saracens mentally and physically for most of that match and had far better discipline as a result. Their inability to ram home the advantage is probably a concern though. Didn't see Exeter's demolition job on the Saffas so not sure what happened there but it should be a titanic physical contest at least.

Spared Sarries and, more importantly us, more torture.

You can watch the Chisholm tackle again as often at you like, I posted it for you in this thread.

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2023 4:00 pm**

Handling poor, breakdown non existent and defence was always going backwards. A minor miracle we got as close as we did.

Botia with a career day the biggest difference
