Notbarrymanc Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Sarries next week will be tricky but it’s definitely doable. If we can then undo Bristanbul on the last day of the season then the play offs are genuinely ours for the taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Not sure how I'll cope if it's all riding on the last day against Quins. I still come out in a cold sweat every time I think about that game 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounded like a incredible game. They were 19-0 with just 10 minutes to go, 3 tries in 10 mins the last coming with literally seconds on the clock. Unbelievable comeback, With Thacker now fit again they should be able to play their first choice team for Saracens and hopefully Quins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched the highlights CR and even tho I knew the result it was still thrilling to watch. Thackers break leading to the third try was terrific. My buddy is a die hard Bears fan and watched the game on TNT 5 which is the equivalent to the red button I believe. He was obviously well chuffed!

Kid in the Riot Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 The permutations are a nightmare, but I'm saying a Bears win over Sarries next weekend, and Exeter do us a favour by beating Quins, and we're all but there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends on bonus points. We could get 4 for the win and Quins get a losing bonus points which leave them only 3 behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get a bonus point win over sarries we’ll go ahead of them and into 3rd, potentially even into 2nd if bath lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bears are on a roll having hammered Northampton and Newcastle. Wonderful comeback at Leicester ever since Pat Lam was ‘advised’ by SL to go back to playing ‘the Bears way’. The pep talk certainly worked! I quite fancy the Bears to win at the Stoop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Piers O'Conor leaving for Connacht in the summer. No great surprise, he was excellent in the season we finished top but struggled to recapture that form since and has fallen out of favour in the last few months.

Once a Bear, always a Bear. “As we have done for the last 7 seasons, we will be honouring these players in-house this week as a team and there will be an opportunity for supporters to show their appreciation at Ashton Gate following the conclusion of the Saracens game on Saturday, May 11th.” Director of Rugby, Pat Lam Confirmed departing Senior players: Callum Sheedy (164 apps) – Cardiff Rugby Dan Thomas (144 apps) Piers O’Conor (131 apps) – Connacht Ed Holmes (102 apps) Kyle Sinckler (59 apps) – RC Toulon Magnus Bradbury (43 apps) – Edinburgh Charlie Powell (17 apps) Jono Benz-Salomon (14 apps) Fred Davies (13 apps) Jay Tyack (12 apps) Harry Ascherl (9 apps) Oscar Lennon (9 apps) Aristot Benz-Salomon (3 apps) Confirmed departing Academy players: Macenzzie Duncan (9 apps) Charlie Rice (6 apps) Tom Sims (4 apps) Matty Jones (3 apps) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
