Domestic & European Rugby 2015-16

Saints win at home to quins, some lovely tries and Harrison was imperious again, he's the best 7 in the league right now and has got to be pushing for a call up to England, controlled the breakdown today.

Given the MOM too.  Fully deserved.  He's been playing well all season in a not fully functioning Saints team. 
In fact yesterday was probably the first time I have enjoyed watching Saints for a while, much more expansive.  It was a cracking games and huge credit to Saints with their less heralded players keeping Brown, Roberts and Care particularly quiet.

Just watching the highlights from the weekend and I don't think even the harshest Saracens critic could call that display boring. According to the newspaper reports Farrell on fire in his first game at 10 for weeks.

Sarries can be a good team to watch because they've got a very good squad but it's not what they're setup to do.  It's a bit McLeish-ian get the defence right and hope that the team use that structure to make stuff happen.

Sale out but a few bits of brilliance from cipriani again today, the work for the Sam James try is a thing of beauty, fantastic offload.  On top of that he made the montpellier winger look a complete mug for the first try, I really do want to see him get some gametime for England, he's a class above any other 10 in the country.

He'll have fun next season at Wasps, they'll be great to watch.

Watching this one in the pub as I don't have BT. As an Exeter Uni boy, I have to support the visitors I'm afraid.

Slide of the century!

Brilliant chip by Robson - game on

[paul_e]

oh my, that wasps try (by Hallai) is just stunning, the breaks by Daly and Wade in the build up were brilliant.

[Dante Lavelli]

What a match!

[DaveD]

Fair play - some kick to win it.

[paul_e]

What a game, both teams deserve huge respect here.

Brilliant kick from Gopperth at the end, that's some serious pressure to kick one like that.

The try at the end was another example of why I like Daly, he 'stalled' the exeter backline by just holding on to it for that extra second, that meant Piutau could score himself rather than going out to Wade, which gave them a much easier conversion.

[paul_e]

bit of a harsh yellow against sarries there but it was a pathetic challenge.  Good game so far, Harrison is looking very good again.  Poor mistake by Elliott to miss out on the try though.

52 mins in, 1 point between them and it really wouldn't be flattering Saints if the lead was closer to 15-20 points, it always worries me when a game is like this.

Sarries playing rubbish but getting no favours from ref either
