Saracens deliberately ruining advantage with cynical play, I’d yellow that all day

Burkie1203 · 14-10-2018 4:09pm

5 penalties in 22 and no card is a shambles

razorblunt · 14-10-2018 4:12pm

Even just now, Kebble prevented from getting to the ruck to the extent he bumped into Reynal, Saracens win that ruck an Ethernet half is over.

I think Glasgow might get a bit more luck with Horne at scrum half against that red line.

It's infuriating to watch.

mangobob · 14-10-2018 4:13pm

Ref seems very reluctant to discipline Sarries. All the same, can't take away from their defense. That was a big moment and they kept Glasgow out. Big psychological blow.

It's easy to defend when the ref gives them carte blanche. They should be down to 13.

Bridge93 · 14-10-2018 4:22pm

Sarries are getting away with whatever they want. Were they not in touch in the buildup to their try too?

eagle eye · 14-10-2018 4:26pm

I'm no Saracens fan but there has been plenty of foul play on both sides. Ref is letting an awful lot go, it's been happening all weekend.

troyzer · 14-10-2018 4:27pm

I don't know why Glasgow have so much confidence in their maul, it wasn't working.

Having said that, the Saracens should have been given a yellow there. Glasgow will be pissed off they didn't get 7, but they also should have taken 3.

True enough, Glasgow are always shíthousing so I can’t say it’s not pleasant seeing it being done to them.

I'm really really not into that.

Boscoirl · 14-10-2018 4:33pm

Was there any angle of the “turnover” for the pen at the end?

Yes

prawnsambo · 14-10-2018 4:34pm

Reynal is probably the only ref in the world who seems to find all this excitement and handbags profoundly boring. At least that's how he sounds.

Burkie1203 · 14-10-2018 4:34pm

Toulon 15-23 Newcastle

Amazing.

Last time he tried that during Lions game it almost came back to bite him in the árse. He’d want to focus on his own game, he’s not done much.

Squidgy Black · 14-10-2018 4:39pm

Commentators said Billy V off with a potential injury

razorblunt · 14-10-2018 4:40pm

Swinging arm by Itoje to a prone man off the ball. Replayed shown, sharp intake of breath from one of the commentators followed by absolute silence.
Why does he get away with so many things repeatedly?
Last bad word I heard about him was on BBC during the 6 Nations.

razorblunt · 14-10-2018 4:42pm

Watch Kruis and Rhodes when they hit rucks, always swinging their arm a bit.

He's still very much the RFU's golden boy. Despite the fact he's been a passenger for the last year or so for Saracens and England.

Bridge93 · 14-10-2018 4:45pm

That offload from Rhodes was one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen. He’s a very very lucky guy

troyzer · 14-10-2018 4:45pm

This is the messiest game I've ever seen. Offside and loose balls everywhere.

It's really entertaining.

Peter File · 14-10-2018 4:45pm

Toulon 22 Newcastle 23 is an excellent game so far despite the ref

14-10-2018 4:45pm

Massive passage of defence there from Glagow. Outstanding stuff tbh. Would love them to go on and win this.

eagle eye · 14-10-2018 4:46pm

Saracens have been awful in the opposition's 22. They should be up by 20+ with all the possession they have had in the red zone.

prawnsambo · 14-10-2018 4:47pm

Glasgow are forcing it too much.

Bridge93 · 14-10-2018 4:48pm

Jackson at 15 has been really awful. Poor decisions and executions all day

razorblunt · 14-10-2018 4:49pm

Itoje penalty klaxon !!!

Gets away with murder that fella, if he wasn’t a local lad he’d have been booted long ago. He was their golden boy 10 years ago.

Squidgy Black · 14-10-2018 4:50pm

What the fúck was that coming out of itoje's nose!

It’s whitehouse isn’t it?

Akrasia · 14-10-2018 4:52pm

Poor decision to kick that away. Glasgow are really missing that killer instinct to finish off their attack

razorblunt · 14-10-2018 4:53pm

We interrupt this constant selling of a rugby documentary to bring you a rugby game.

25-23 to Toulon and a yellow for Savea for taking out the 9

Bull**** pen

Glasgow do all the hard work and then consistently polish it off with a brain-dead offload or pass

Tackling the player with out the ball, he had his a hands on it.

The lack of a replay of it reinforces my view that I am right

BT only show the ones that benefit Saracens :P

Bridge93 · 14-10-2018 5:02pm

Turner has shat the bed big time

errlloyd · 14-10-2018 5:03pm

Dunno why Glasgow havent taken points

You can't take the 9 out even if he has his hands on the ball though.

It was open play, it was the pen after The Glasgow break

14-10-2018 5:03pm

Glasgow have had more than enough chances to win this with a bit more composure and if they'd stop turning down kickable penalties.

mangobob · 14-10-2018 5:04pm

FFS Glasgow are their own worst enemy here.

Deleted the post because I thought you were referring to the Newcastle Toulon game where Savea was given a yellow for taking the 9 out.

Bridge93 · 14-10-2018 5:05pm

Another nonsense penalty
