Social Media Round-up 2018-19 Season: Week Five

Another incredible Sinoti Sinoti sidestep Well it’s happened again. There were as many big discussion points as there were scintillating moments of rugby this weekend. But before we wade into all of the debate, here are a few sublime incidents. Like this – yet another jack-hammer sidestep from Newcastle Falcons wing, Sinoti Sinoti. You may remember his mind-bending step against Exeter last season? Well he did the business again, this time against Wasps… ? The step? The power? The offload Take a bow, Sinoti Sinoti ? A try to remember from @FalconsRugby… pic.twitter.com/IGOu3xc0mn — Rugby on BT Sport (@btsportrugby) September 28, 2018 His wasn’t the only moment of brilliance over the weekend. How about this: good hands for a big man, Courtney Lawes. That offload from @Courtney_Lawes ??@LewisLudlam goes under the posts for @SaintsRugby in their victory over @BristolBears ? Don't forget to tune into all the highlights from this weekend's #GallagherPrem on @channel5_tv at 7pm on Monday ? pic.twitter.com/tI1bfgOC2O — Premiership Rugby (@premrugby) September 30, 2018 Then there was this American Football-style throw from Munster’s Alby Mathewson… Go Long!!! Welcome to the Guinness PRO14 @AlbyMathewson ? pic.twitter.com/IUSB7OdUdr — PRO14 RUGBY (@PRO14Official) October 1, 2018 There were also some big all-round performances. Chiefly amongst them was that of Saracen’s playmaker Alex Goode. After his role in Sarries’ crushing of Bath, many were calling for the full-back to be called back into Eddie Jones’s England squad. Hat-trick Liam Williams. Two of them laid on by Alex Goode who has been, as ever, outstanding. 38-20. — Chris Jones BBC (@chjones9) September 29, 2018 How is Alex Goode not in the @RugbyEng squad?! Just caught up on Sarries weekend game & I’d have him 1st choice 15 for country. Alex, if Eng don’t want you, fancy a stint on the Med. We like our FBs to be English (ala Delon, Ashy) ? — #RugbyToulon (@rugbytoulon_) October 1, 2018 Alex Goode is in the form of his life best 15 in England by a mile! — Matt Hoade??????????????????⭐️⭐️ (@matthoade) September 29, 2018 Also if someone would like to tell me what else Alex Goode has to do to be in the england team please let me know #EddieRUOkay #Goodey — Ted Mathers (@TedMathers) September 29, 2018 Of course, not everything was super-positive over the weekend. No less after a Leicester-Sale match-up that disappointed a lot of neutrals. The Tigers won 19-15, but, well, it left a lot to be desired. Things I’m hoping to get better today quickly… 1️⃣ My hangover 2️⃣ The Leicester V sale Match — ugo monye (@ugomonye) September 30, 2018 FT Leicester 19-15 Sale. Don't ask. Dreadful. Ford kicked all his goals, Sale missed all theirs. — Alex Spink (@alexspinkmirror) September 30, 2018 9 missed points from Sale ?Poor handling ? Austin Healey breaks down where it went wrong for Sale at Leicester today.#GallagherPrem pic.twitter.com/COelOfPDs7 — Rugby on BT Sport (@btsportrugby) September 30, 2018 As if a club's official Twitter account just singled out one of their own players as … Continue reading Social Media Round-up 2018-19 Season: Week Five
