Salarycens going pretty much full bore with their line-up away to Bath tomorrow night. A bit of ground to make up on Leicester might have something to do with it.

Saracens win 25-12 away to Bath.
20pts for that young lad, what's his name, son of the Ireland head coach.

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
Not a chance Saracens finish bottom. Can see them ring fencing the premiership this season anyway, especially if Leicester come bottom, or turning it into 13 team league.
Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
What is happening to that once great team, Leicester Tigers, one of the pillars of European Rugby. Back to back European Champions, won the Premiership 8 times in the last 20 years but not since 2011.
Now they are the worst team in the English top flight, lost 5 of their 6 games so far.
It's not like they don't have good players, I mean Dan Cole, George Ford, Ellis Genge, Jonny May, Manu Tuilagi, Ben Youngs were stars out in Japan, and of course they now have Noel "the wall" Reid.
Is Leinster old boy and Leicester ledge Murphy up to the job? Obviously not.
This Newbridge lad wont be getting any silverware any time soon.

I'd say the championship teams are looking nervously at the bottom of the prem - with Sarries, Wasps and Tigers down there the trapdoor could well be shutLeinsterimp wrote:Not a chance Saracens finish bottom.

Exeter’s defence is strangling Asterisk RFC here. 14-0 on 71 minutes. Very impressive, especially Sam Simmonds. You can see the hatred in their tackles!

A defensive masterclass thus far. Required watching for Leinster Squad. The Chiefs crowd are great. If we are to face the Great Ogres, we must get them at home.Twist wrote:Exeter’s defence is strangling Asterisk RFC here. 14-0 on 71 minutes. Very impressive, especially Sam Simmonds.

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
enjoyed that immensely. there was an extra edge in the tackling alrighty. Salarycens mucked up a lot of chances with handling errors but the exeter defense was solid. The way the Exeter coach afterwards described them as "cheats" to the media and the impact their cheating had was priceless. They don't meet each other in the premiership again until May...that return leg will be worth watching.Twist wrote:Exeter’s defence is strangling Asterisk RFC here. 14-0 on 71 minutes.

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens
Not only did he call them cheats but he poured scorn on those claiming victimhood for The Salaries and criticising those who complained about their cheating "Sometimes the people who point out Saracens have cheated are painted as the bad guys but there are supporters of clubs who have seen coaches get sacked and players leave in part because of Saracens cheating,”
