MichaelRobartes Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 They have the wind second half. Plenty of time too. Surprised they chose to play at home first though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glynriley Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 They have the wind second half. Plenty of time too. Surprised they chose to play at home first though. Sure I read somewhere they had the choice of being home for the second leg of either the semi or the final, so chose it this way to have the advantage if they get through.

It's the bent system of the rugby playoffs. Why doesn't the team who finished first get home advantage x2.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 It's the bent system of the rugby playoffs. Why doesn't the team who finished first get home advantage x2.. Because the RU wants to get the maximum take from the pray-offs. If it was too easy for the top team it wouldn't happen. It's absurd for the top team not to be promoted anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Come on Bristol, got their noses in front now. Got to keep playing their game and now have the advantage of the wind. I'm screaming at my tv (missing football) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelRobartes Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Beans at HT? Not nice for the second row PS They've done it the other way round and cocked it - maybe they're trying to change their luck? Frankly I'd have welcomed the hot air if I'd been playing. Indeed, I think I'd have been in from the wing doing plenty of ruck inspecting with the weather today. Sure I read somewhere they had the choice of being home for the second leg of either the semi or the final, so chose it this way to have the advantage if they get through. Thanks Glyn, that's mental. Surely the final at least should be a one-off game at the ground of the team who finished highest in the table. So it is in the Rabo, although the semi finals aren't over two legs there either. Have to give credit to Bristol, they always try and put it through the hands rather than kicking the skin off it. The conditions didn't really suit them but they didn't play well today, they should have been kicking to the corner from open play more in the second half. The defence at the end was comical. Hope they make it but a long way to go in this tie yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Just got back and my my what a load of balls from Bristol. Rotherham defended really well but offered nothing in attack and shouldn't have made a dent. Bristol failed to take opportunities and were way too predictable.

Welcome To The Jungle Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Andy Robinson, good or bad coach? A question for you that go. He's set Bristol up well this season, but as these play offs can be won or lost in a moment it is crucial that every point is taken. Bristol cannot be naive and always run with ball in hand and kick for the corner. Time to take our points when offered them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is poor, but he's a very good 10 in other respects as an organiser and playmaker. If Bristol go up however the first thing we need is a good kicker, because it is the boot that just keeps the scoreboard ticking over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol cannot be naive and always run with ball in hand and kick for the corner. Time to take our points when offered them I guess you could say Bristol way of playing has taken them to the top of he table and they tried to stick to what had been successful. I was urging them just to kick to get some points on the board though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were doing a drop kick competition at half time and the balls were just not reaching the posts from the 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
