[Blazing Saddles]

Dear me, there is no more negative a side in the league than Sale. Great defensive display but beyond the first five minutes, they offered zero in attack. Ironically, they almost stole the game through Ford’s trademark drop goal, but thankfully justice was served with a narrow Gloucester win.

It was some drop goal mind!

That it was. Sale’s highlight of the match.

Could be some game at Welford Road.
First 30 man scrap afterv 4 minutes.
Saints yellow after 8
Both sides and the crowd really up for it

Tigers properly beating up Saints

Double edge, we can go top tomorrow, but the top 3 becomes very, very tight

Leicester completely destroyed Saints platform. Their forwards seemed passive compared to the Leicester pack.
Not the cleanest of games either.

Saints were awful.

Bristol v Sarries is a decent game. Hartley starting again, he’s a relative of my brother-in-law.

Nice break from him to set up Earl's try.
Bristol back to their pathetic defence of last season - could do with a Salaries win here

Bristol’s defence just got worse. An absolute shambles.

Both defences are a bit slack.

Bristol player got very lucky there. I don’t agree with the commentator that it should have been red (he was driving straight and from a very low position) but should surely have been yellow.

In that respect the second half has been the opposite.
Bristol finally breach Sarries defence, but the missed conversion means it’s still a 2 score game.

Instead it’s Itoje who wins a yellow ticket.
