@tl127 @LFC Watched him at Skem.

@RJDhowzat @JonnyBFordham @premrugby @BathRugby @LeicesterTigers @SaintsRugby @Harlequins Someone's got to fill the stadium up if Chiefs get there again.

@CrootMatt @BathBytes Have you watched the England rugby team recently ?

[David Rowlands @DjRowlands]

@RucksSake Not a chance. Losing some key players this year that will be difficult to replace.

[David Rowlands @DjRowlands]

@Matt5cott Didn't we both watch on TV?

[David Rowlands @DjRowlands]

@RJDhowzat Could be a citing😀

[David Rowlands @DjRowlands]

@RJDhowzat No divine right to win back to back. All teams strengthened. Been average for months. Champions cup this year added problems they didn't have last year. Losing Stuart key too. Saints head and shoulders above all EP teams as you'll probably find out Saturday.

[David Rowlands @DjRowlands]

@RJDhowzat He took TDT off last week
with 3 minutes remaining and Tigers scrummaging on Bath line. Got away with it. Why take your captain off with 3 minutes left and having to go length of the field. Madness

[David Rowlands @DjRowlands]

@RJDhowzat @CharlieFelix Don't think they did anything. Got a lucky bounce for a try and a penalty. Other than that can't remember them getting anywhere near Bath 22. Said to guy next to me that Chiefs have done nothing and have 10pts. So presumably Bath not poor 2nd half?

[David Rowlands @DjRowlands]

@RJDhowzat @CharlieFelix Thought Chiefs Ist half as poor as Bath 2nd. Difference was allowing Chiefs 10pts when they hardly threatened.

[David Rowlands @DjRowlands]

@thebathbadger Taking Spencer off on 77 minutes was a crucial error by JVG.

[David Rowlands @DjRowlands]

@RJDhowzat @jonboy_avfc Also Exeter poor 1st half but given 10pts. Bath poor 2nd half and got nothing. Too many times this season gave easy points away when on top. Well done Chiefs. I have 2 tkts now for final going!!

[David Rowlands @DjRowlands]

@RJDhowzat @jonboy_avfc A few observations Bob. JVG massive error taking off Spencer on 77. Why? He would have masterminded the try without doubt. 42 phases but no offsides-unlikely. Ref didn't want to make such a crucial intervention, but he should. Pinged Bath for it all over the pitch.

[David Rowlands @DjRowlands]

@paulbreenturner Not sure that would be in most people’s top England weaknesses. Other issues likely be more influential. Probably not really good enough compared to some of the top nations.

[David Rowlands @DjRowlands]

@RJDhowzat @SomersetCCC @antgib Very disappointing evening Bob. Made even worse sitting amongst the Glos fans! Never looked up for it never mind the skill set.

[David Rowlands @DjRowlands]

@SomersetCCC Pitiful

[David Rowlands @DjRowlands]

@RJDhowzat Somerset now batting in full sun. Good toss to win.

[David Rowlands @DjRowlands]

Taunton. Overcast, lights on. Root and Bairstow batting v Somerset.
