STW 2014/15 Rugby Thread

Surfer, you at the AJ Bell tomorrow? Going to be a good game v Wasps I think.

SA beat NZ
Arg beat Aus

Wow

Here in the sunshine at the AJ Bell stadium, not many Wasps fans around so far, wanted to ask what the feeling is about the move to Coventry.

12-7 to Sale at half time. Sale looking more dangerous with ball in hand but Cips is having a bad day with the boot, must be 15 points gone missing in the first half.

Turned out OK this afternoon then, Muddy, but I was pleased we had our usual dose of squeaky bum time. It would be so dull if we just won comfortably week after week…..

Wasps looked clueless in the backs, either that or Sale had them worked out & nullified every attack.
Sale’s lineout was awful & the scrum was v.poor again – a better team than Wasps would have have scored from those attacking lineouts.
Good defence from Sale and they are going to need it next week against Saints.

I thought both sides looked like the mid table ones they are.

I chatted today to someone who went to Sarries last week- we’re a fair way below their standard.

Sale will be lucky to scrape 6th again.

Scrum looked really poor yesterday. Fortunately Haskell and Launchberry were out. That would have made the difference I think although we are missing players of our own.
I had to walk to the far corner of the North stand just before half time and saw the Wasps fumble that Cusiter capitalised on up close. Saw it was a try straight away 🙂

Wasps are going to Coventry ? Seems a bit risky in terms of the support.

I dunno, I think they may tap into the Tigers fair weather supporters after this season!

Tait also out of the tigers squad for a fair few weeks, I think that’s 20 crocked…! I believe Tait was mullared by one of his own players arriving hard to clear out a ruck. Bring back proper rucking, more blood less smashing and muscular / skeletal injuries.

Tait was certainly down for a while and did not look great when he eventually went off.

Tigers will be back – was it last season or the one before they lost their first 4 or something? Having said that they really do look awful.

@aa 🙂 I don’t know if its a mind/eye trick but he really is looking quite orange

BTW thanks for the scrum compilation

Any forward of polynesian origin backing off from a tackle on the orange dancer wants shooting.

Exclusive photo of the away crowd at the next “London” Wasps v Harlequins game in Coventry….

So, NotNots/Reading Samoans/”London” Irish in Reading, “London” Welsh in Oxford, and from what I hear, “London” Scottish are trying to squeeze in to the Pro12!

Here’s a real London club!

Fair cop guv

Just watching munster scarlets. Christ munster are a team only their mother could love. Think that gimp Mahony is going to lamp the ref soon.

Is it just me or is the ref in that game having a bit of a mare a_a?!

Rookie italian ref in Munster was always going to be the case. Seemed to give up reffing munster in the second half.
Whisper it but I wonder if 1/2p will make the wales team for autumn internationals, the braindead angry man at 15 for Scarlets is playing so well this season.

Tigers finally find some form on a wet night at Welford Rd. Not a great game but Tigers managed to shut quins out for 70 minutes.

Hopefully thats Tigers season back on track. Not sure whether Ulster next week is to early thought, could have done with an Italian team first really!

Please with tonights game though. Not pretty but a win is a win.

Agree with that ads. What a differance Ayzerca (sp) made. Another couple of players back, youngs, mulipola, Cole, 2nd row and maybe 5 or 6 backs and I reckon they’ll be competing well!

Oh, and living scully. He’s like a backs Lewis moody. Running around like a loon!

Horrible feeling Sale will get butt-**** by Saints tomorrow, Saints are the Prem Champs for a reason!

Oooops

Are we allowed to discuss the “other” code on this thread? Could be a cracking game this afternoon.

Who is playing?

Wigan and St Helens.

I was right :/

No lube no reach round for Sale

I fell asleep at half time, woke up around 70 mins and we’d conceded another 3 tries 😯

Anyway, on the subject of Sale, what options do I have for getting to the ground from Piccadily?

We go via Victoria, get on the Liverpool train & get off at Patricroft then walk up via Liverpool Rd.
Tram to Eccles from Piccadilly is also doable.

interesting start…

Oooof!

What a ****

Crikey what rattled his chain?

WTF! He needs a biiiiig ban for that. 😯

Crikey! The first punch I can understand, but the one in the floor?!?!

Worse than Hore or Clark.

Nasty, nasty stuff. Not what run and wriggle needs to see to promote it as a sport outside of the already very, very narrow market it has.

On a par with Hoare but Clark is simply unforgivable
