How many no arm tackles does Barnes allow including those to the throat.

Too many - flying in recklessly

+1

And they are incredibly clear - not sure how it’s being missed.

Given we have no hookers, why can't lineout throws that aren't straight be ignored given our circumstances? It's not necessarily our fault about lineouts not being straight now surely?

[Shugs]

Carnage. We've got them on toast at the breakdown. Would have really fancied us to win without the injuries. After 10 we've dominated. No line out will hurt us second half. Real credit to them already.

I normally rate Barnes.

But he’s let things go to the detriment of both the game and to the players health and safety.


And hooker is a specialist position, so how come line outs still continue ‘as is’?
It’s a farce and makes a mockery of the game.

When I was playing it was the winger who threw the ball in - some games it was the only times he touched it

Bath will play us off the park second half...keep kicking for touch, get the ball back..game over..
Its not even an uphill battle now and Barnes isn't helping the situation.
Looks like we'll be seeing a fair bit of Barberry now..

[Hymenoptera]

So holding the man not the ball is now allowed in a ruck??

[DGP Wasp]

Monye unable to differentiate between a big kiwi prop and an Italian fly half, referring to JTA as Tomasso Allan.

[13thWarrior]

Got to say our defence on the line has been phenomenal

[Neils]

Our non hooker scores

[13thWarrior]

Holy shit that was an unreal passage of play. Bath must be sick

[JF]

That was almost surreal.

[Neils]

JTA high why does he miss on our players

[hopwood]

JTA is a penalty machine.

[Neils]

Barnes been speaking to his lapdog CMK?
