The UAFC

Cap'n - if he'd made his decision straight away I'd agree about being influenced by the players reaction but he had all of what, 5-6 minutes, to think about it, and all the player ruckus was long gone by then.

Jackie - don't know about Goode yet. Botha was out sparko for a short time in a game about a month ago and was allowed to play the following week so I've got no idea what goes on. Might well be rested for Northampton this weekend anyway.

Hooking king - don't you think that's the regulation behaviour by players from every team when someone is taken out in the air like that? I'm sure it was accidental but that doesn't change how seriously injured Goode could have been by what was at the least a brainless challenge.

Expected a bit more than that, Jackie, but I'm sure it'll arrive in due course!

Ok - some of you think booing is fine while a place kick is being taken. For those people what would your reaction have been if the Saracens supporters had booed during a kick by Pienaar or Jackson? Meltdown, I imagine, and that's the hypocrisy of SOME posters here, and in their reaction to the send...

Waited until things calmed down a tad before posting. Firstly, you should be very proud of your team - herculean effort to still be competitive after 80 mins, although Sarries ill discipline and lack of composure helped you. Anyone who thinks Goode was faking his injury needs a poker up the Crozier ...

He's not Rolland so I'm happy. I think the top French refs are probably the best now, perhaps bar Owens.

rorybestsbigbald.... Saracens have an excellent academy programme Short, Powell, Cato, Fraser, Saull, Wray, Mako Vunipola (after we pinched him from Bristol aged 19), Ransom, Auterac, Farrell, George, Goode, Kruis, Spencer, Earle, Saunders all came through it. You may not recognise all of the names ...

Afternoon all To clear up some vicious rumours being circulated on this thread 1) I'm not Mark McCall 2) I'm English, not a member of the taliban or a saffer. Baggy - having supported Sarries since 1998 I can assure you we are a far better club in every way from the days of Johns, Wallace, Sella , L...

Is that before the match for Ashton and Farrell? Or will you let them on the pitch first?

You'll need your incontinence pants by the time sarries have finished with you.

Great time for match - really hoping I'll get over. Few wheels to grease and arses to kiss.

The only thing pinned on the Saracens wall, Baggy, will be your 'substantial crozier' after we have flayed you and your fellow Ulster men alive in early April.

Downtrodden of Barnet can't afford 2 matches in 2 days. Playing Newcastle tomorrow.

Playing tomorrow as well against Newcastle - saving my beer money for that.

My testicles are in fine fettle, thank you, Baggy, as are the Saracens team at half time against the Natal Sharks. Woody, no MK is not in Hertfordshire, and as a mere novice I'd keep your head down until your betters have attempted to soften me up. Saracens like to spread the gospel of fine English ...
