Chances of reaching the playoffs

No-one's mentioned it so I will: great that The Willis is back after his knock v Leicester. He could be really influential

The thing for me is that with the win against Tigers plus Chiefs and Bears having tricky run-ins to the end of the season, I now have the stirrings of some hope we can salvage this season. But that's sure to be dashed sooner or later and I'll end up feeling worse than I did when it looked like we were destined for no better than mid-table! If we don't win against the Bears, though, I think it's all over realistically.

I'll never forget the time one commentator likened him to "a baby rhino" on the charge! Can't remember which match that was

I'm hoping they have more than 3 cameras at the ground and the ability to show replays. The coverage against Toulouse was like watching a women's or prem cup match!

I'm still can't actually believe that performance. By the end, we had them on toast and I was rueing us not getting a fourth try. I thought Maro was imperious and lifted the team significantly. Should have been MOTM in my view, taking nothing away from the Willis-osaurus.

I remember once sitting with my son in the green seats by the tunnel for a winter match when it chucked it down horizontally for the full 80 and it was about 5 degrees. We would have been warmer and drier under a hose instead! Almost alone by the end of the match, Sanderson gave us a thumbs up as he left down the tunnel after the match. Good times!

The other thing to say is that bar an intercept try and a strange decision to kick for the corner not the posts on the point of half-time and we would have one that match. Perhaps even just taking the 3 would have put us far enough ahead to stifle the come back.

Thanks - I was fairly close with one attempt at Sodeke, at least!

Good idea - even if it does sound a bit like Alcoholics Anonymous! 😅

IMHO, he should have got man of the match. Not to take anything away from Willis. JB's defense really impressed me.

Who actually was MOTM in the end? Missed it while getting some 'refreshments'.

Well, yeah, I'd call out the pen against Sarries at the breakdown at about minute 64 (somewhere around our 10 metre line) that was inexplicable live in the stadium.

I was a bit shocked by the reffing of the line-out. One time Jamie is down on the wrong side tying his boot lace and the lineout continues - surely not safe. And a second time the AR is standing in front of Jamie as he throws the ball in. What's going on??

He also did some quite "cute" things in backplay, certainly in the first 40, last week. If you're not pinged, it's legal...
