No shit, Bob.

The Rugby Pod
#38 RFU Back Borthwick, URC Play-Off Race Heats up, Leicester Smash Saints

Yeah, exactly.

The Rugby Pod
#38 RFU Back Borthwick, URC Play-Off Race Heats up, Leicester Smash Saints

Exactly.

The Rugby Pod
#38 RFU Back Borthwick, URC Play-Off Race Heats up, Leicester Smash Saints

So, like, I understand there needs to be some kind of...

The Rugby Pod
#38 RFU Back Borthwick, URC Play-Off Race Heats up, Leicester Smash Saints

Disclosure around keeping it under wraps a bit, but you might as well have not done it.

The Rugby Pod
#38 RFU Back Borthwick, URC Play-Off Race Heats up, Leicester Smash Saints

You might as well have come out after the Six Nations and just gone, whatever anyone thinks or says, we're keeping Steve because we can't afford to pay him out or we're not going to go look in and change everything now because what we've read and what we've seen in the statement doesn't give us any information, does it?

The Rugby Pod

Basically said there's loads of issues, but Steve's the man.

I think Sarri's have now beaten Bristol.

on seven or eight consecutive occasions.

The Rugby Pod
#38 RFU Back Borthwick, URC Play-Off Race Heats up, Leicester Smash Saints

So it's been a while since Bristol have beaten Saracens.

The Rugby Pod
#38 RFU Back Borthwick, URC Play-Off Race Heats up, Leicester Smash Saints

And ultimately, I think a lot of people probably looked, and we'll come on to the game on Sunday in a bit, but a lot of people looked at the Exeter Bath game

The Rugby Pod

and they were on the extra arm, expecting Bath to go to extra and win.

The Rugby Pod
#38 RFU Back Borthwick, URC Play-Off Race Heats up, Leicester Smash Saints

So that was a massive game on Saturday night between Bristol and Sarri's in terms of that top four.

The Rugby Pod
#38 RFU Back Borthwick, URC Play-Off Race Heats up, Leicester Smash Saints

And it was do or die for Sarri's, right?

The Rugby Pod
#38 RFU Back Borthwick, URC Play-Off Race Heats up, Leicester Smash Saints

And they've been saying it themselves, it's knockout rugby, it has been for a while.

The Rugby Pod
#38 RFU Back Borthwick, URC Play-Off Race Heats up, Leicester Smash Saints

but ultimately, you know, with the win for Exeter on Sunday, I think there's now a seven point gap between Saris and Exeter, and it could boil down to the last game of the season when Saracens go down to Exeter.

The Rugby Pod
#38 RFU Back Borthwick, URC Play-Off Race Heats up, Leicester Smash Saints

But just on the game, I was listening to what Jamie George was saying afterwards, and he was saying there, they've got clarity now on how they're playing.

The Rugby Pod
#38 RFU Back Borthwick, URC Play-Off Race Heats up, Leicester Smash Saints

They're enjoying their rugby.

The Rugby Pod
#38 RFU Back Borthwick, URC Play-Off Race Heats up, Leicester Smash Saints

You can see they're trying to attack, um,

The Rugby Pod
#38 RFU Back Borthwick, URC Play-Off Race Heats up, Leicester Smash Saints

you know from everywhere and play an offloading game and they've got their physicality and their defence sorted as well which you can't say about Bristol because Bristol were playing touch Bristol were so disorganised defensively and Sarri's took advantage of it and I think we spoke about it the other week didn't we around the fact that Ollie Hartley's being picked at 12 how good is he he's an absolute unit and I said it the other week about his selection obviously Faz being on the bench but when you go in with Fergus Burke at 10 and who looks very good by the way
