[Irish Saint]

Thank you for the updates will enjoying watching at some stage as also have Glastonbury this weekend as well as the three remaining Challenge Cup quarter-finals

[Graham]

Don't think I missedmuch did I? NOT!!!

[Vichyssoise]

Cody Walker? I can't keep up with who's named at FB for Bunnies these days.

Must be him. I wasn't too sure either.

[Vichyssoise]

Don't think I missedmuch did I? NOT!!!

 

It was rather entertaining, especially the 2nd half.

C9's commentary was absolutely terrible as always. Rabbs kept calling Gray Burgess. Oh, and they kept discussing some obscure boarding house related thingy for a good 5 minutes. Appalling.

[Graham]

Ch 9 has gone off. Ray Warren seems to have passed his sell by date. I can take Sterlo, but Fittler on the sideline wants derailing! I've got the game recorded so can always watch the climax of the game which I apparently missed.

1:35 try to Faifai Loa. Took the Dragons 4 tackles to score but, kicking into a strong wind, Widdop missed the sideline conversion. 4-0

[Farmduck]

8min: try to Jacob Host for the red and white team. Good to see they are wearing the standard St George strip and not an unnecessary away strip. Widdop adjusts for the wind. 10-0

[Farmduck]

14min: try to Euan Aitken. kick to come. Widdop overallows for the wind and misses. 14-0

[Irish Saint]

Morning all the flying Ross over in corner. Commentator states goin to Rio for high jump.

[Farmduck]

29min: Nathan Ross scores probably the best corner-diving try this year. Knights 14-4

[Farmduck]

Morning Irish.  You leaving Europe too?

 

Hodkinson converts. Knights 6-14

[Farmduck]

36min: try to Lafai. Widdop misses. 18-6

[Irish Saint]

That's why I'm up early today to make sure the sun was still there and the birds were still singing. Life goes on.

[Farmduck]

39min: Benji try. The way Benji's playing today I would guess his agent's phone hasn't been ringing.

[Farmduck]

HT: St George 22 - 6

[Irish Saint]

Nasty knee to Lafai's head there.Marshall over as siren sounds 22-6

[Irish Saint]

Second half under way . Sadly I have to leave in a few mins to furnish and stock up the bunker. :-)

[Irish Saint]

Handbags between Thompson and Elliot

[Irish Saint]

Thompson over. Dragons routing the Knights Widdup converts 28-6.

Enjoy rest of games.

[ElStuart]

Sharks gonna finally get nobbled today?

[Sports Prophet]

Sharks haven't started too well. Two poor last tackle grabbers gone dead. Warriors started worse though

[Sports Prophet]

0-6 Warriors with a simple back line move with extra numbers to break the line. Nice no look pass at the end to get past Barba. Warriors will have their tails up at this point. Sharks got to lift

[Sports Prophet]

And immediately, Barba touches down. Decision to come

[Sports Prophet]

No try, booo
