What is Austin Healy raving about? Sarries can win the game by kicking another penallty

matthew8 · 31-05-2014 5:06pm

So Northampton win on tries if scores are level. Glad to see it won't be decided on penalties.

Davei141 · 31-05-2014 5:08pm

Sarries are getting nothing off the officials at all.

matthew8 · 31-05-2014 5:08pm

Officials were dying to call that.

eyeball kid · 31-05-2014 5:10pm

Is it gone to extra time?

Ugo Monye spacecraft experience · 31-05-2014 5:11pm

Saints will be kicking themselves if they don't win this considering Sarries had a massively physical game last week, and Vunipola and Borhtwick just aren't 100 percent on top of that

Ugo Monye spacecraft experience · 31-05-2014 5:11pm

That LH prop is having some cameo!

Davei141 · 31-05-2014 5:12pm

How was that not a penalty for holding on?

He didn't hold on, Sarries got the ball!

Ugo Monye spacecraft experience · 31-05-2014 5:16pm

Would love to know what Ashton was at there that caused Doyle to give him an earful

matthew8 · 31-05-2014 5:16pm

Big call from JP, saying it's deliberate.

Ugo Monye spacecraft experience · 31-05-2014 5:17pm

This might fall in the face of Healy's theory that Saracens need to score a try to win this game.

It took an age though! Would rather the penalty.

matthew8 · 31-05-2014 5:23pm

Northampton probably just going to play for the penalty at this scrum. Will JP have the bottle?

matthew8 · 31-05-2014 5:26pm

Saints must not know a draw is enough!

Ugo Monye spacecraft experience · 31-05-2014 5:27pm

Get into the pocket marler. I'd kick it from that position!

matthew8 · 31-05-2014 5:27pm

They think they've scored! Game of the season.

Davei141 · 31-05-2014 5:27pm

Try or double movement before that?

Ugo Monye spacecraft experience · 31-05-2014 5:27pm

He surely knows!

Micky Dolenz · 31-05-2014 5:27pm

Exciting stuff.

If try is given it's game to the Saints.

Montpellier didn't know 2 weeks ago! BT sports lads didn't know until they read up on it.

funtime93 · 31-05-2014 5:28pm

Never thought i'd be hoping Saints score.

matthew8 · 31-05-2014 5:29pm

If the tmo bottles this...

Micky Dolenz · 31-05-2014 5:29pm

That looks like a try, tough call though.

Davei141 · 31-05-2014 5:29pm

North dropped that!!!!

errlloyd · 31-05-2014 5:29pm

Holy ****

matthew8 · 31-05-2014 5:30pm

Try given! What an end!

Ugo Monye spacecraft experience · 31-05-2014 5:30pm

Yessss

KevIRL · 31-05-2014 5:30pm

Delighted.

Micky Dolenz · 31-05-2014 5:30pm

Game to Saints.

20-22 after ET.

Davei141 · 31-05-2014 5:30pm

Officials have been against Sarries the whole game, not surprising they have the final say.

matthew8 · 31-05-2014 5:31pm

I'm really happy for Northampton to have finally won something. They've been great all year, great fans and very entertaining.

Somehow Austin Healey gives Myler MOTM.

Ugo Monye spacecraft experience · 31-05-2014 5:31pm

Delighted for Saracens, all they deserve. Utterly classless club (not the players mind, i feel for them to an extent). But the crap they pulled on a few occasions over the last few years makes it very hard for me not to be happy to see them lose

The Gavin Henson stunt in particular was one of the most distasteful thing i've seen in the modern game

31-05-2014 5:31pm

Gets me pumped for the real game.. ; )

Totally correct call, ball was on the line

irishbucsfan · 31-05-2014 5:32pm

Fair play to Saints. Great to see them win one. Lawes was brilliant, my man of the match.

Sarries were definitely the best team throughout the season, but clearly didn't have enough in the tank to carry it all the way through.

What stunt would that be?

I take it you missed North drop the ball.

Worth noting that Henson was a former Sarries player. Classless

He didn't drop the ball. It was a try, glad the TMO had the balls to make that call though because he could easilly have said inconclusive.

Davei141 · 31-05-2014 5:36pm

During the replay from behind, he dropped it just before placing it then grabbed it again.

Was it even North who scored it? Not a chance he dropped the ball anyway, grounding the only thing in question, and it was clear that it was over the line by his body position from the angle behind the posts

Sorry now, but he didn't

The administration of the club is classless. But I couldn't care less about that, I don't watch rugby to cheer on the administrators. I watch it for the players and the coaches, and Sarries are a good team of good players coached by an Irishman, I would take them over Saints myself (because of Callum Clark mostly!).

Davei141 · 31-05-2014 5:37pm

Ah I am just pissed...

No, it was Waller who scored the try.

Spot on. Tired of listening to people always cheering when they lose, even against a team full of mercenaries like Toulon who just buy up all the best players. Sarries didn't need to flash the cash to be the best team in England and one of the best in Europe.
