Six tries scored, six conceded. Two points earned, three left behind. Tigers’ 38–40 defeat to Saracens was a frustrating start to the season, partly due to key players missing — but there was plenty…
Did you watch any rugby other than the games?
Yes, I caught up on a couple of the other Prem games.
I like to watch as many as I can when available, just to see how the other sides are faring and what we're going to be coming up against in the future.
So I caught the Northampton Red Bulls game.
I don't think anyone's massively surprised by the result of a Northampton win, but it was a good game.
It was a very good watch as a neutral as well.
Good.
Yeah, and I watched the Red Roses game on iPlayer on Saturday afternoon, which I enjoyed.
And it looked at one point like they were going to have their second draw in two consecutive weekends.
And then suddenly, right near the end, Zoe Harrison got a penalty kick from just, I think, inside their half.
So it was quite a long kick and she kicked it and it would have won the game because it was, like I said, 30 seconds to go or even less.
And it dropped a little short.
But from the resulting restart, the Black Ferns threw a bit of a careless pass and Zoe Harrison herself, who just missed that kick, intercepted the ball and ran it in from just a few yards out, took the conversion.
So they won 26-19, which against one of their big rivals was...
And from what I saw, I haven't seen the official attendance, but from what I saw, the bottom two tiers look pretty full.
And they're now only 39 games away from a new win record.
Absolutely, yeah.
So they're not only unbeaten, for all those games, but they've started a new winning run,
absolutely, yeah.
Not a lot, because I didn't have time to watch all of it.
But yeah, there's some interesting games going on.
