Really like that from Atkinson, hunted down his opposite number and gave Cardall the opportunity for the turnover. Shame about Gopperth's kick.

Quality game this. Why are Pests hoofing the ball away v 14 men? Esp MH who are the laziest and least fit side in T14.

It's damp and greasy out there. if they get a bit of a lead I reckon we'll see them be less afraid of keeping the ball in hand.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Fri Dec 18, 2020 8:22 pm Quality game this. Why are Pests hoofing the ball away v 14 men? Esp MH who are the laziest and least fit side in T14.

Porter's keeping things very zippy, really liking it.
Cruse is having a really good game, too.

Look at Picamoles now cw with when he was at Saints. MH is the rugby equivalent of the elephant's graveyard.

I view Barbeary a bit like I view Jack Willis - as a neutral (even though all Wasps are cunts, along with every single fan of theirs) I find myself willing them to do well. Can he hook and chuck is the big question though.

Matching each other error for error at the moment. By 36 Bismark shouldn't be throwing two crooked on the trot.

Ben Morris. Reasonable squad player, but nothing more. Certainly nowhere near the calibre of Willis and Shields.notfatcat wrote: Fri Dec 18, 2020 9:17 pm Faptastic.

A very nice way for Atkinson to finish off an assured performance.
