Fantastic performance

What a brilliant performance. So much aggression from the
forwards and lasike, real flair and Guile from Smith.
It does show how much better we are as a group when the forwards
secure quick ball.
Danny back to his best, focusing on the ball, rather than
wafting his hands around as he has for a season or two.
Also important to recognise the impact of Lewies and Symmons.
Reminds me of Kohn and Robson - one offering grunt and
aggression, one a line out specialist.
Lasike has grown so much this year. I feel we have to give him
another year. He pulls defenders towards him and has begun to
mix between the big bosh ball carrier role and some softer
hands. I hate to hark back again to our championship team, but
he’s got shades of Jordan turner hall.
Ellia is a revaluation this year. Long may it continue and
hopefully his injury not too bad.
Been a tough season - but real hope offered today. Good job
boys.

The only negative for me today was the injury to Elia. Hero
status to his for trying to play on through it. Hopefully, not
too bad

A really pleasing all round performance with good showings from
1-15. I don’t want to read too much more in to it that at this
stage. We’re always up for it against Saracens and we need to
keep it in mind that we beat a weakened side who must be
affected by all the off-field distractions.
That said, I wonder whether Gustard has come to realise that we
play better with a bit less structure and a bit more license to
go for it. Losing the fear of relegation means we can really go
for it and that suits us so much better than trying to implement
a Saracens-lite style which hasn’t really worked.
As bad as the injuries have been, I suspect the likes of Lasike
would have had less chance to shine.
I agree with Zandini that Symons and Lewies are developing in to
a good pairing.

Can't think of any poor performances from this game, everyone
seemed to step up.
In a selfish way I hope EJ doesnt bring our best players into
the England 6N squad if they can carry this form forwards.

The shackles are off now we know we can’t be relegated. I think
before that is the case the squad were “scared” to play the more
expansive style of games we’ve seen in the last few games.
I suspect Dombrandt will still get a chance this 6n as you can’t
ignore his form and I imagine if there’s any injuries in the
back row he will be called up. Even if EJ thinks he’s “not fit”
for test rugby which I think I nonsense he will still be great
coming off the bench.
Apologies for the outburst of nice comments

One of the best games for 10 years, incredible atmosphere and
the first two tries were best of the season. Unbelievable COYQ

It was a great spectacle and we took most of the chances we made
from broken field play and really played how you want to see us
play.
But. Salaries didn’t look up for it from the 5th minute onwards.
Their body language was illuminating. It may have been the side
that were playing very well at the beginning of the season, but
they didn’t seem to want to be here.
I loved our endeavour and the slick handling in very wet
conditions. Glad for 5 points, but unless we can back that up in
next Premiership game (LI?), then it won’t be as good as
hopefully it will prove to be. LI will be a handful, but I hope
we’ll have the same vim next time out. All to play for.
Next up, Exe in the B team cup. Hopefully, they can keep the
momentum going.
COYQ!

Thoroughly enjoyed being at Stoop today, what an all round team
performance.
Surprised to see so few Sarries supporters, also disappointed to
hear boos at both Sarries scores.
