    Face it if ITV got live rugby premiership coverage Guscott would be the first person to join their pundit team so the BBC should stop sucking up to him!

    Christian Wade's try was awesome in those conditions.

    comfortable win for Wasps, if they keep all their youngsters together they have a bright future

    @nick.. Because he knows its 7 points for a try and 3 for a penalty and he's seen who's at the bottom of the try scored list is my guess.....

    sarries seemed to have played Bath and Gloucester on the same day according to the bbc...

    Considering the conditions, a couple of good games there. Entertaining.

    Why does Geremy Guscott alway's misjudge saracens so much? Always were going to beat Bath by alot more than 7 points

    Impressive win for Quins as I felt they had stuttered to a few prem results recently and had two very easy games in the Heineken, so to be honest I agreed with Jerry. Funny feeling the mighty one's may yet make the Heineken final! I'm also in Darkest Somerset so Anglophone I hope the rain stops soon!!

    Sitting here in darkest Somerset with the water lapping at the backdoor step I have to sympathise with anyone trying to play rugby. It's awful...we've lost the past two weeks of local club games for fear of players drowning on pitches with standing water.

    The Rec is only about 5 feet above the River Avon and it must be like a pudding. The monstrous Sarries pack were bound to come out on top!

    What a waste of a fiver at Christmas...

    @10 Oh dear. Bye bye fiver.

  • Comment posted by Wolfhunter, at 11:14 22 Dec 2012

    You're right of course.I've still got a fiver on Bath by 6-10 points.Fingers crossed.

    Would love to see a Bath win but in the wet think the Sarries pack might be too much. Wolfhunter Banners isn't playing its Williams and Eastmond at 12 and 13.

    Bath are still capable of strong one off performances and will win.Matt B hard up the middle,Donald with ice in his veins.Sarries to be downed.

    Find it hard to agree with the Saints prediction - Hartley suspended and the pack may well have an Ulster reaction. Agree with the rest though, paticularly the Tigers-Irish match. Just look at the quality of the Tigers bench, never mind the starting XV. And yes I am biased - C'mon Tigers!

    Welsh for the win!

    @ 2

    Hopefully not against Wasps.

    Wasps should have this one, they are not the team they were last season!

    Onwards an upwards Boys!!!!!!!!!

    Quins to extend their lead at the top of the table with Sarries and Saints suffering Heineken Cup hangovers
