Chis missed far too many tackles and Lawday is probably our most consistently excellent back rower.

Chis had a great game last night. Does so much stuff that we miss, like Robshaw. Got two key turnover penalties and carried well.

Unlike Dom or Semi he does not do the spectacular, but very consistent. I have said this before, but at moment both Semi and Dom don’t offer enough of the basic stuff.

To be fair, reading through the whole of that Saunders piece, it appears he's now got the condition under control & his platelet count into the "normal" range, so I'd guess it's more a case of monitoring his condition & adjusting his workload in the same way that Slade has to manage his diabetes. There's no reason that while Saunders' platelet count stays at a nominally typical number that he can't play a typical workload of rugby games for a Scrum Half.
@ff - I don't think that it is the sort of condition that you can get under control.
I am not a medical person, but my understanding is that you can't get your blood to clot with this condition.
so, hats off to him for going for it. And, I hope he does well, cause , I think he is a decent player.

What happened to Robshaw? And why did the ref only review the tackle that clearly didn't injure him?

Banged his head on the hip of the player he tackled.

Robshaw was then kicked in the head as the guy he tackled was trying to get free. The ref didn't seem too bothered. Not sure if he even looked; the replays were just for the TV.

That's what I thought. The bang on the hip didn't seem damaging. As for the kick, was it a lash out kind of kick, like when players are held on to? If do, I've seen red cards given for that, such as when Itoje did it to a Wasps player.

Article on why Quins appeared to select an overly strong side last Friday......too many injuries and unable to play more than 2 "non-Europeans" apparently...

Why Quins picked such a strong team to face Bath in Champions Cup dead rubber
The London side have named a starting line-up featuring over 1000 club appearances for a game which now has no impact on their season.

He wasn't kicked in the head. He was pushed off with a boot on the shoulder.

It wasn't a full screen presentation. It was only shown in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. The commentators referred to it too, I think.  Although, as I said, the ref didn't look at it or seem that bothered by it.  But it did look to me like he was caught in the head. Maybe it was the impact of the tackle that led to the HIA rather than the boot to the head.

In any case, I hope he is okay for the Sarries game. I am sure he will be given a rest next Saturday, with Kuanatani joining Chisholm and Dombrandt in the back row.

Should have been a penalty then.

Nope, it was shown in full screen later on. The commentators, who had up to that point been claiming it was a boot to the head, then admitted it was nothing.

And it really was nothing. Pushing someone away in a non-dangerous manner on their shoulder with your foot when they're holding on to you is not a penalty. Robshaw banged his head in the tackle, that's all.

He missed 6 tackles. That does not equal a great game. He carried alright, he's always willing but didn't have his usual impact there (imo because of body height, he was too upright most of the time and got knockled back). He made 18m from 8 carries - Semi made 53 from 5, Dombrandt 85 from 11.

Don't disagree that he's ahead of them in the nuts and bolts stuff, mostly his cleanout work, but he was some way off having a great game and both the others had a much bigger impact on us winning that match.

Quite. Chis was OK but we've seen him play far, far better.

According to Gustard in the rugby paper "we he had 27 to choose from and we now look set to lose Crumpton so we are really short of hookers. we will only have two or three players back for Clermont next week . it is a real challenge in adversity and can make or break you ".
