  • Looking at the games this weekend in more detail I think we are looking at home wins Leicester, Exeter, Quins, Sarries, Connacht & Scarlets.
    And the Connacht gaming being the closest run match.
    We will see............

  • @61
    How many tries did they score? i made it the Hamilton try plus a penalty try as mentioned in the post? Shows your lack of knowledge if you thought there was more. It just shows sour grapes on your part that Leicester failed to take advantage of 13 men, and you blame the ref.Leicestr are far from innocent, and the scrum domination finished when Glos bought subs on

  • @37 this really has turned quite dirty hasnt it...lol.

  • "...being inside him"

    Steady on old boy lets keep this clean shall we.

  • @7 r u sure u mean spunk???

  • @5 Can see Newcastle walking away with the league then losing the playoff final to Bedford :))))))

  • @71we can turn this into whatever we want.I am sure Jerry Guscott wont mind.
    @72 you are spot on.Not the best game to watch though,but what you expect from a game that contains the local derby

  • Have that Jerry! Scoreline flattered Gloucester- Mr Barnes up to his usual tricks coyq

  • Leicester fans on here are utterly delusional. You lost fair and square.

  • I think that although Worcester have "4 losses" two of those would have been wins if the referees had played a stright bat. Having two letters of apology about the refereeing in these two matches simply proves that the established clubs get the shout over the "minnows". Rather than apologies after the event, be better if the refereeing quality was higher. Add a column in the table for 'Apologies'

  • @70 Think it will be a tight match, but with Salvi back in the side and Ford at 10 there should be more creativity. Saints will miss lawes, Dickson, wood and Hartley, and the home crowd should see tigers home.

  • I thought this thread was for comments on Jerry's predictions - not a review of last weeks matches!! Ga and os99 - just agree to differ!

  • @69 Probably right they wont get away with playing like that often.Leicester had enough ball and territory to win the game.The ref wasnt the best, but i think you should have won despite the ref if you took the chances.Gloucester were good in defence though
    So what are your thoughts on the saints match?

  • @68 Gloucester deserved to win the game despite being fortunate with decisions, I was pointing out that Harlequins will punish Gloucester for their weaknesses shown last week

  • @67 In that case i was sure Cook jumped as high as he could and only managed to unluckily get his fingertips to it.Just bad luck really.Cowan just standing there and it hit his foot as it came out of the scrum and went back in. Leicester were unlucky sinbad ducked and won a penalty.Ask Worcester about bad luck and stop moaning

  • @65 High tackle on Simpson Daniel wasn't even a penalty, he ducked into the tackle

  • @64 you were the one who said the tigers are in trouble, a losing bonus point away against an improving Gloucester side is not the end of the world

  • @64 Lol you sound very bitter and a racist dig at the ref as well.A high tackle on Simpson Daniel should have reduced you to 14 men near the start when Glos were dominant.Leicester are no angels and never have been.They know how to play the blindside of the ref better than most teams.Sometimes you just gotta get on with it.

  • @61
    And no one is writing Leicester off, it is only you because you seem to think they cant adapt to the ref, and you have injuries.Lots of teams have injuries and thier share of decisions against them. Just get on with it and stop moaning after a great game of rugby the 2 teams have produced over the last few seasons

  • The ref didn't notice the ball pop straight out the side of the scrum and Cowan hooking it back and also should have given a penalty try when the full back cynically slapped the ball out of play preventing Goneva from scoring. Should have seen it coming from a team with a Welshman in charge
