Can't believe he went for the drop from so far out. Surely should have attempted to get further at least.
Just truck it 10, 15 metres further up. I know they had a strong wind behind them but terrible decision making
Wasps run the Jimmys close then. Corbs on the bench too, which can only be a good thing for England and Saints.
11 changes for yer Wasps, apparently. Guessing they had one eye on the Euro-thingy play-off with (IIRC) Stade Francais.
Team of the season 1. Joe Marler 2. Dave Ward 3. Logo Mulipola 4. Samu Manoa 5. Michael Paterson 6. Dan Braid 7. Jacques Burger 8. Billy Vunipola 9. Danny Care 10. Stephen Myler 11. Vereniki Goneva 12. Kyle Eastmond 13. Luther Burrell 14. Semesa Rokoduguni 15. Mike Brown Reckon Slater and Ford are stiff there. Saracens strangely under-represented but I guess that's descriptive of how they have relied so much on their defensive line as a whole, which is hard to take into account for individual awards.
Interesting to see Roko get the nod. Suspect he'll be in the squad for NZ when the Bath players join up. Wing's not an area of strength for us just now and he played for the Saxons earlier this year.
Ford gets top points scorer and misses out. Not seen much of either in the Premiership tbf but that seems harsh. Though I guess there is more to a 10 than scoring obv
Ford's been playing well enough to get a 6N call up (ahead of Myler) in his first season as a starter, he won a Player of the Month award at one point, and he's been basically making the Bath backline look better all season. Really harsh to miss out afaic.
