Anyone else watching Rugby Tonight on BT Sport? Loving it, the banter is good and the analysis is superb too.

Nick Wood gets 8 weeks - free to play November 13th.

I am surprised by the length of the ban. I was expecting more

[Matt172]

That's a pretty poor ban length for a blatant stamp, be interesting to read the report

[XCP]

More than Healy got for stamping on Cole. That was far more cynical in my view.

Healy didn't stamp on someone's face though, I'd guess that's probably a big factor in the difference in ban length

But then we all know how consistent the citing committees are with handing out bans

[XCP]

You are far more likely to inflict career threatening injury ( or at least remove them from the field of play) by stamping on someone's ankle.

Well then, Glos V Saints. I think that match had everything and more didn't it?

How did the officials not see all of the glos players infront of the kicker at the last restart? Or the made up penalty at the end when the ball was out of the back of the scrum and then taken back in. Robbed of a win by the ineptitude of the officials.

Try supporting Worcester, youy get used to it (three official apologies from the RFU last year).

Not this weekend though. Quins way too good.

Is there anywhere online that you can watch highlights from club games? Specifically for the Saints.

Thanks for that.

It's the big one this weekend and there hasn't been much in the way of build up. Saints seem to be playing well and Tigers seem to be alright. I wonder if Wayne Barnes is going to ref?

[Vocal Minority]

Anotehr big one at the other end of the table

On the basis we all but scored London Irishes tries for them...

wouldnt supprise me if it was. Assuming both teams are firing on all cylinders this is going to be a cracking game.

Funny that you say it's the big one this weekend, according to BT sport bath v tigers is the game that you all look forward to the most

There is more in the way of history with bath but I would say more niggle with Saints.

There was some great work by Lamb the other night breaking his hand punching somebody, can we send him back?

[Matt172]

Nope more than happy for you to keep him Smyler seems to be flourishing now he knows he's number 1 no 10

[Matt172]

Bloody hell that was a bit of a bottom twitcher!! Thought we were going to lose that one considering the lead we'd made


Good win for falcons too
