Forgot to add, was worried when Laskie went off (not just for
him, he was clean out) but I thought Alofa and Marchant were
excellent in the centres. Esp as both are normally 13s. Saying
that everyone played well. Also dont think it is a coincidence
that Horwill is back and we are looking better. Care had a good
game. Our England boys done themselves no harm at all

Argh that was so frustrating! So close. The fight is back, a bit
of pride is back and on another day we’d have won it. Immensely
frustrated by Pearce, felt he made the easy decisions but
bottled everything a bit more controversial for both sides.

Great game. Shame Dave Ward is rubbish at throwing and that
Bothma absolutely bombed that try. I'm usually pretty sanguine
about refs but he gave us basically nothing at the breakdown -
there was one moment where Robshaw was on the ball for about 5
seconds and he still wouldn't give the penalty - and the Sarries
offsides in the first half bordered on the comical. Guess that's
what you get when you start the match after the ref's bedtime.
He was stupidly pedantic about the lineout gap and the chat as
well - who cares if someone's having a word with the opposition,
honestly? - and not particularly even-handed with it either. Joe
having a word = penalty, Sarries player dunking someone in the
back of the head on the floor = absolutely fine apparently.
Couldn't fault the approach taken by either side and aside from
a couple of poor performances on our side (Visser was awful!) I
think that game did both teams justice.
A word for Nathan Earle, who was fantastic today. Great to see.

Good summary Jammy.
I really like Dave Ward as a tryer who wears his heart on his
sleeve but his throwing is horrendous. Momentum shiftingly bad
at times.

Thought we were great and beaten by a team who’ve got a bonus
point win out of every other team they’ve played.
So close, so proud, so different from last two years.

Yes, I'm not a fan of criticising refs but another day and
another ref and we could have won that. Still, we did
wonderfully well, moral victory in that Sarries didn't get a
bonus point and we did!

I thought Bothma was brutal. Robshaw was phenomenal. In fact
nearly everyone played brilliantly.
Ref was fairly OK until the end. But how many times did Sarries
fly into rucks from the side, or just flop on top of a ruck and
leave no way to compete for the ball?

Hi guys,
Sarries fan here, thought I'd come have a look round your new
shiny forum. Seems pretty active, which is a nice change from
the downwards trend occurring board-wise at SportsNetwork
Great game from you guys (though I concede I may have been less
than polite during a certain failed penalty kick) - amazing
tryline defence, better than we've had this season.
:)

Marchant and Chisholm were everywhere amazing. If only Bothma
had got the ball away in the first half. Really great game
everyone up for it. That try from Marchant will go into Quins
folklore!

Agreed. Joe's try will be a crazy 'what happened next' moment!
If they still do that on Question of Sport!
Great game. Really proud of the boys. Thought we would do it in
the last two minutes. My Sarries mate said we threw it away. He
might be right. I do believe we were the better team and played
the best rugby. Penalties killed us in the end. Real shame.
Chisholm gets better and better. Crumpton is quality.
Horwill....so good to have him back. Congratulations Mike and
Danny. Hard luck boys.
