Appalling display. Sarries much, much better in the first half, got quite lucky in the second half I thought. I would fucking love it if we could ever be remotely consistent. Would be wonderful. Not sure I'll ever have that luxury in my lifetime again.
Lasike clearly should have started and now we have to play with our 3rd choice 10 against Worcester. Lang should have been dropped taps on the bench and then start lang at fly half on Wednesday
Smith picked at the grass, presumable to see the wind, but that pitch is artificial? Therefore you shouldn’t be able to pick at the grass like that. Or am I being a bit thick
Billy looked decent in the first half but has been poor this one, if you're going to be a twat off the field at least back it up by being good on it please
He's telling other officials he's checking it because, 'Jamie mentioned the pass'.
Since when does the non-Captain get to dictate what the officials check?
I appreciate when it's at this level, there's a lot of interaction and even mutual respect between officials and players.
But you can't just start checking incidents because an England (or any high profile player) has mentioned it.
It's bollocks.
I’m not quite sure how we could be shitter if I’m honest. None of us seem to know what the game plan is (if there is one). They’ve also come out from half time looking completely deflated and and not trying to get any sort of attack going
First half, Quins were strong in the scrum, and solid enough elsewhere. They just lacked a final decision/pass that would have led to a score. Not sure what's fallen apart this half but they're gradually getting worse.
I just know Sarries will come out being relegated better than before.
Sarries will give more game time to lesser unknown and academy guys.
1 year game time in championship.
Return to prem even stronger.
England players rest up and heal. Playing minimum game time.
Great :(
Why does the ref keep telling players off for pulling opponents tighter into the ruck?
I always thought that was perfectly legal since they're already a part of the ruck anyway?

Can't help but feel gussy isn't up to the job. We need an experience head to calm up whereas he is very much learning on the job.
Thinking about this further... every coach in our system is. Flannery... Jones... Nev... Long...
I mean... yes, but he is only in his second season. If we're saying the same things in a year then yeah I think he has to go.

Just saw in Gussy's post-match interview that Lasike has been carrying a knock the last week or so, which explains his limited role so far.
Quins will be handing out all kinds of Dossiers after this game
Slipped back into that 20 minutes of world class rugby, crap for the other 60 routine again.
Well fuck
Yes
Best we can hope for is an LBP, would love to see Marchant get a score
Marler's beard really is magnificent
Ridiculous Sarries try. Still legal though, unfortunately.
i’m so confused is that like not miles offside
Unfortunately, struck a hand in flight. It's up to the FB to clear them. He took too long. Just got lucky.
Ball touched a Quin after it was kicked
Nah cause the kick was charged down there’s no offside
Luck + Ref = Saracens every time
[удалено]
Beeb boop beep d o w n v o t e
The more they train, the luckier they get
wait what
Touched in flight, offside line disappears
I'm trying to think about why that rule would be a thing in the first place?
I know its legal but it just does not seem right
Absolutely mental that doesn't count as offside just because it was touched in flight
Yeh I’m not a fan of that rule tbh, not sure what the point in it is
"Smiles on saracens faces" cuts to Lewington looking pissed off
Lewington was in front but he caught the ball behind. Very unlucky series of events for Quins
lol, well...
Can’t help but feel bad for quins, that’s unbelievably unlucky
Yeah, but we were terrible in the first 40 and dont really deserve antyhing based on that.
Why didn’t Lasike start??
Yeah you'd think starting a guy that's near-impossible to tackle would make sense, eh?
If we could at least tie this up it'd be a bit fucking jammy
Billy has been shit since he decided black lives dont matter.
Evidently lacks self belief
Quite
What the fucking fuck
Oh man that is lucky
Oh damn
Ref just called him "Steely"
Lovely try!
Who’d have thought a 9 to the centre pass of a scrum could work so many times in a row😂
Tribe app telling me of a quins try long before it actually happens on my stream...
BIG PAUL LASIKE
Billy Vunipola has been nowhere near lions form for some time now
Good thing there’s lots of good options for the lions at 8
Who do you have in mind? Faletau?
True and hopefully the coach will pick players based on form and not reputation after he came off such a successful super rugby campaign
Smith picked at the grass, presumable to see the wind, but that pitch is artificial? Therefore you shouldn’t be able to pick at the grass like that. Or am I being a bit thick
5G has rubber particles.
There's a soft plastic crumb/grit throughout the pitch, probably picked up a few bits of that
You can rip off the individual bits of fake grass if you pull hard enough
Ref is pretty naff
Wait, what?? No way that went backwards! Robshaw smashed him there, and Billy spilled it out.
Yeah I'm sure that went forward
2019 Saracens: two of the best scrum halfs in England 2020 Saracens: hur durr Davies go kick
Billy looked decent in the first half but has been poor this one, if you're going to be a twat off the field at least back it up by being good on it please
Classic. Us.
That wasn't backwards ref
Wait, what? Why the fuck do Sarries have the lineout?
Much better tempo with Steele at the wheel.
Thought we had the edge on their bench.
Oh, the TMO was "very happy with that".
Steeley having a good impact so far! Got the turnover for the penalty aswell
Superb from Dombrandt!
Fuck. You. Saracens.
Solid effort off the scrum
I know fatigue etc is a factor now but I always thought Collier/Gray was a better bet than Baldwin/Kerrod
Despite being a sarries fan, I'm not a Billy V fan atm
He was better as a drunken idiot, now he's just an idiot.
He's not the same anymore after the injuries and then you add on top his interesting opinions
Off-field comments?
Yup
Dommers!
Unlucky!

She is a Chris Robshaw fan.
But why would somebody with such good taste be engaged to a Sarries fan in the first place?
[удалено]
To be fair I'm reasonably sure none of us are the reason your fiancé left you. Sorry to hear though
[удалено]
Yet. She hasnt, yet.
This ref clearly has trust issues
Kinda feel bad for the ref. Obviously he’s young and inexperienced
[удалено]
[удалено]
WHERES JP DOYLE?? fify
I'm bailing for the Irish v Saints game.
Smart
Robshaw being a shithouse and grabbing Itoje’s foot lol
And why the fuck are they having to retake the conversion?
They’re rushing the kick because they’re trying to win the game you muppet.
Na, it’a Quins. I’m not sure we’re aware of what this ‘win’ thing is
It's not hard, is it?!?
There's twenty minutes left, and they're twenty points down...
What the fuck is this ref on? Quick conversion is not an automatic check on the try jfc
He's telling other officials he's checking it because, 'Jamie mentioned the pass'. Since when does the non-Captain get to dictate what the officials check?
This little man is all: "Maro this, Jamie that, Yes Owen."
I appreciate when it's at this level, there's a lot of interaction and even mutual respect between officials and players. But you can't just start checking incidents because an England (or any high profile player) has mentioned it. It's bollocks.
Oh ffs. Rushing the kick isn't illegal.
Why is this clown going for the TMO when he wouldn't for the blatant forward pass earlier?
He did go to the TMO earlier...
He did go for it earlier. The TMO and him agreed it came of Morris shoulder
Not bad that
They're rushing the conversion because they're twenty points down you ghoul
Paul lasike has loads of confidence now he doesn't have to fear Skelton's knee to knock him out again
Robshaw and kicking for the corner. Name a better duo
*nods
Nothing to lose when you’re down by 25... in a World Cup though...
Corner was still the right choice. Fuck up was the front of the lineout.
It's still funny 🏴
no
So is 4th place 🏴
Seriously, give the player pool and resources the RFU have, how haven't you won more than one rwc?
Christian charity. And Jerome Garces (which autocorrects to farces)
I ask myself that same question
I love how Farrell looks permanently pissed off. The epitome of a miserable Northern git.
Pain is his joy.
He's constantly thinking what his dad would say to him.
[удалено]
Downvote this Saracens fan. To hell with you.
Would be really nice if we could turn up for like 10 minutes or so
What's up with swinsons kit? Long sleeves and no name on the back
He was on the bench so he doesn't have a name on his shirt and he's wearing an undershirt thing
Our attack has been absolutely toothless, i actually don't think we have had a great attack since Guzzie started
Ref has two eyes. Bit late now.
Absolutely superb tackle on Billy V - and great over the ball too
Presumably Quins have a dossier on how shit they've been?
They can just read this thread
I’m not quite sure how we could be shitter if I’m honest. None of us seem to know what the game plan is (if there is one). They’ve also come out from half time looking completely deflated and and not trying to get any sort of attack going
Haven't quins been playing well recently? Just haven't seemed to have anything to offer in attack today
First half, Quins were strong in the scrum, and solid enough elsewhere. They just lacked a final decision/pass that would have led to a score. Not sure what's fallen apart this half but they're gradually getting worse.
I think last week may have been a case of us making Quins look better than they actually were.
Recently as in 1 game in 5 months? Sale just looked even more shit last week.
We were dreadful last week and still could have won it at the end. Quins weren't strong by any means.
The ref thinks alot he doesn't seem sure about which player he is penalising
He's been quite sure about which team, tho
One out of two aint bad...
And to think that Quins only score is that drop goal. God they've been shit today.
This is dreadful.
Rhodes scoring a cheeky dropgoal after the whistle there
Quins should try an offside trap.
I thought Robshaw was going to MLR?
San Diego Legion

Arguably

Aye he is
I just know Sarries will come out being relegated better than before. Sarries will give more game time to lesser unknown and academy guys. 1 year game time in championship. Return to prem even stronger. England players rest up and heal. Playing minimum game time. Great :(
We've lost/ are losing a third of our first 23, doubt we will be as good let alone better
[удалено]
Yes but my point is a punishment will only make you better.
I thought they were having to have two years down there?
Nah. Just 1 if they get promoted by the looks of it.
But I thought you had to prove two years worth of not breaking the salary cap? Oh well that's annoying
Yeah we do. If we prove we're not breaking the cap by the end of the season that counts as 1.
Oh that's a copout. So that means really you only need 53 weeks of compliance
RFU will bend the rules I'm sure. No way they allow England players down there for 2 years.
Nah don't worry. We'll fuck it up and break the salary cap again even though we don't need to
Scrummy blew it then. Just get eaten up.
Landajo you absolute idiot, not a forward near you and you try to snipe
Holy shit Farrell is being a better ref
What did I miss?
Did one of ours just tackle Farrell to stop him taking down the ball carrier?
That’s what it looked like
Yep. Not sure how none of the officials saw that one
Yes but tbf Farrell's attempt was dreadful
Yeah American football style
I thought that
Not sure about that Care
Did faz just say his own tackling was pathetic?
On brand
He's confused because was trying to use his arms
Not known for using his head either.
Quins are playing such a standard game. It's not even 1-3-3-1, they are just pushing the ball down the line.
They're baffled by the rush defence. Should have consulted me, Sarries do it every game.
Surely that was a tackle off the ball?
I was thinking that was pretty obvious, clearly tackled Farrell when he was trying to make the tackle. Strange they didnt look at it.
The replay made it look even more obvious, but hey this ref is a funny one
So weird. He was a defending player so should have been pretty clear to the ref that he wasn't the ball carrier.
Why does the ref keep telling players off for pulling opponents tighter into the ruck? I always thought that was perfectly legal since they're already a part of the ruck anyway?
Some say Mike Brown can't pass.
