So is the data allowance on my work phone from watching extra time whilst parked waiting for my daughter on the BT Sport app. I suspect I may be getting a snotty email from someone in Bratislava on Monday morning, and they're unlikely to understand why it was important!

Worth it though.

I nearly felt sorry for Borthwick.

Nearly.

Still talking about it here.

So did I, but not enough to overcome my dislike of Chris Ashton.

I was rather hoping, when the scores were tied, that he'd take the ball in his own goal area, run it past seven Saints players, break tackles from the other eight, then do his stupid, ttty fking dive beneath the posts and then drop the ball forwards in mid air. If nothing else, it would've stopped our under eights trying to emulate the silly tosser.

Watched in pub...great game. Actually chuffed for Saints, might be a Tigers boy but Im buggered if Im cheering for Sarries. Lawes is back to his best monster form and Burrel seems to get better every time I see him. Dome monster hits going in during the game!

Know what you mean.

When the forward pass - the one of the disallowed try - happened, us four jumped up from our chairs in unison (not the union) and the dog ran out of the room. It refused to come back in despite some half-hearted coaxing. Then two blokes changed their minds and there were all sorts of arguments. Tremendous fun.

For the final try, one bloke grabbed hold of the remote and pressed freeze. There was this sudden silence and no one moved. We all looked at one another trying to figure out who had the controller. Then there was a plaintive 'Don't hit me' as the youngest bloke put it on the table. There was a childish scrabble for it and then it went of fart forward. But still no decision.

We all reckoned it would not be given.

Once everyone left I had to change my shirt 'cause it was all sweaty.
