Gopperth and Cusiter equal parts, maybe, but as for Rob Miller’s squandering, most of the blame surely has to go to Miller himself for not recognising that a dive and slide from five metres out (or more) would have made the tackle much more difficult and taking Jimmy’s daft assist out of the equation?

It’s been a very happy new year in Wales – bumper crowds for the derbies, excellent signings announced and increased commercial activity in the clubs. There is a definite sense of optimism around Welsh pro rugby right now after years of depressing malaise. I was at the Car v Llan game, sitting right amongst a bunch of Llan fans :-)

Leicester shot themselves in the foot by trying to stop us running the ball and playing some rugby. By making a nuisance of themselves at the breakdown in the first half, they just helped the Sarries coaches and players to change the game plan and simply stick it up the jumper so to speak. Didn’t do Leicester much good wither way did it.
I guess if they had let Sarries run the ball a bit more there could’ve been more tries scored, but either way they got out played and well beaten!

Pretty accurate there on the write ups and yes Saracens forward dominance was amazing. Big Billy is a worthy star man, but special mention should go to his brother Maku but especially the underrated but totally awesome Petrus de Plessis. What a monster.
