Semi-Finals
« on: June 19, 2021, 02:16:54 PM »
Enjoying the way Bristol are dominating Quins. Charles Piatau is such a weapon.

Someone said on the site that Bristol had 'kicked on' after the SF last season, but it is essentially the same Bristol team that we put to the sword in the autumn 2020.

My rather hopeful money was put on Sale a couple of months ago. Currently it looks like a Bristol Exeter final.

Really enjoying Bristol’s play. Great tempo to everything and great skills to pull it all off.
Handy also being able to bring Malins and Earl in on loan
Hope this kind of rugby is still on show in the final against one of the more physical sides.

It’s an entertaining game and hard to see how Quins come back but as we know it’s a game of 2 halves.

Tempo and power has been the ethos of what Pat Lam wants his team to exhibit. The owner merely provides the blank cheques to enable him!!

Yes, interesting how the salary cap drop doesn't really seem to have affected the richer teams.

I am sure Quins will now be 'balls out' for this half.

What a game, this is some comeback from Quins. Charles Piutau off after failing HIA, could be very telling.

Surprised there was no second look at the Piutau head knock, looked like he’d taken an elbow/forearm to the face at a ruck just before the Green try - commentators missed it too

All square. Unbelievable. Good job Brown was suspended. His replacement has speed and can pass.

It's like someone has put something in my drink....Quins' attacking flair is quite something when it clicks....liking the FB and Lynagh and Marchant really showing why he ought to be in an England shirt, ditto Dombrandt

Lynagh one for the future, or will he follow his brother to Queensland?

Plenty of time for him to decide. Might like living in SW London - I know I used to...... (in the distant past!)

Just a great game, and such great tries.
