Gloucester-Hartpury vs Leicester Tigers 51–14
🏴 #PWR Round 16
Leicester defeats the Circus (only the first 10 minutes where counted)
No, seriously, they played ok. Sadly, they chose the wrong rival to do it. Even with a rotated squad Glospury just had to slightly step on the gas for a few moment to score before relaxing again.
Trailfinders vs Loughborough Lightning 39–26
🏴 #PWR Round 16
Trailfinders get into the top 4.
Down at HT despite their massive control of territory, their impressive defence on the 2nd half plus a few bangers allowed them to take the game back.
Loughborough staying on the game thank to some great individual plays just gets a single bonus point
Saracens vs Sale Sharks 54–0
🏴 #PWR Round 16
Good start by the Sharks, almost scoring on the first minutes, just before all hell got loose.
Sarries brutal and oppressive, amazing to watch and a nightmare if you have to stop them.
Sale waaaay better on the 2nd half, keeping Saracens on their back feet, but sadly unable to score.
Bristol Bears vs Harlequins 17–14
🏴 #PWR Round 16
6th defeat in a row for Harlequins, that can say goodbye to playoffs.
Really effective on the 1st half, with 2 converted tries in 3 entries to 22, but 0 points after HT.
Bristol with a lot of messy passes and poor lineouts, and yet even when behind looking in charge of the game.
There's a women's #pwr game being played in the Principality Stadium in. Wales today. God, how I wish the turnout was just half as good as for the men's game. These are quality players that deserve an audience. Just 220 odd of us watching on YouTube!
Come on world, wake up!
That's enough work for today. Now for YouTube and Bristol Bears v Harlequins women's rugby!
#PWR
Heading back to Cardiff (yet again!)
Happy Big Day Out to all those that celebrate!

A strong lineup for tomorrow’s fight for a place in the #PWR top 4. #TrailfindersWomen are understandably missing Kate Zackary due to her awful eye injury. Hopefully the vast amount of publicity work the internationals have been doing this week hasn’t stopped them training!

Last 🏴 #PWR round before the 6N
Big Day Out with Bristol desperate for a win & Quins wanting to return to the top 4.
Sarries come back from their bye to end Sale historic winning streak.
Trailfinders & Loughborough still dreaming with playoffs.
And Tigers will be grinded down by Gloucester-Hartpury.

🏴 #PWR Round 15
Harlequins fall short on the last minutes and drop 2 positions.
An easy win for Exeter against a non-atrocious Tigers.
A real belter where Lboro just had to hold on a few more minutes to get the biggest upset of the season.
And another win for Sale while Bristol keeps losing players.
Holy Cow, what a second half! Gutsy, chaotic, brutal. And the final minutes were jaw dropping!
Thank you to everyone at #pwr who makes it possible for us outside the UK to watch. ❤️

Awesome game by Queen Venner - not just a great attacking runner, but her work rate and the way she goes looking to get involved everywhere on the pitch when the game is on the line.
Also another great game by Tatyana Heard. She's been an absolute power house at center this season. #PWR
Outstanding game by Loughborough Lightning against Gloucester-Hartpury, very unlucky not to win. G-H need tough games like this to remind them they have to work for it, not just rest on their laurels. They still find a way to win, but will need to be better in the playoffs. #PWR
Sale Sharks vs Bristol Bears 25–7
🏴 #PWR Round 15
Not so one-sided as the score might suggest, but certainly the Bears attack had issues today.
That's 5 wins in a row for Sale but they miss the try bonus. They do get into the top 4, although given their schedule, they're not gonna keep it.
Loughborough Lightning vs Gloucester-Hartpury 38–43
🏴 #PWR Round 15
I almost had a heart attack 😂
Didn't look good with GH scoring in 30 seconds, but what a reaction from Loughborough. Putting the champs against the ropes with some of the most beautiful tries of the season, but looks like not even 19 points is a big enough advantage to resist them.
Well, dang. Sale Sharks are on a run. Good to see. Those 3rd and 4th spots are there for the taking #PWR
Sure but this men's rugby's a bit boring. Playing for 3 minutes and not scored a try yet.
#Glospury #Lightning #PWR
Leicester Tigers vs Exeter Chiefs 0–43
🏴 #PWR Round 15
Some good Tigers attacking attempts at the start.
Then Exeter got 5 tries in 30 minutes.
The 2nd half not so one sided. Of course the Chiefs weren't trying so hard, but still Leicester managed to keep the ball enough to almost make me believe they knew what they where doing.
Harlequins vs Trailfinders 17–21
🏴 #PWR Round 15
NGL I honestly thought Quins had it.
A close game with Ealing maybe a bit better, but Harlequins always in the fight.
Trailfinders survive losing two heavy hitters as the game started and keep the playoffs dream alive, although it still feels pretty difficult given their schedule.

Another Friday with 🏴 #PWR
Critical game for Harlequins & Trailfinders in their attempt to make playoffs.
Exeter will surely grind down Tigers.
Loughborough receiving the leader.
And another banger in sight as Sale are nearing the top 4 while Bristol have been improving on the last rounds.
Loughborough Lightning vs Harlequins 43–33 Exeter Chiefs vs Trailfinders 47–14 Leicester Tigers vs Sale Sharks 3–62 Saracens vs Gloucester-Hartpury 17–22

🏴 #PWR Round 14
Loughborough win with an amazing performance.
Trailfinders waste an opportunity to get into playoffs and let the Chiefs entrench on 3rd position.
Sale have no trouble against a really poor Tigers.
And GH manages to barely win the fight at the top and already secures a home semi-final
Glos-Hartpury managed the win at Sarries, not by much. Dominated the scrum, but seemed more concerned with trying to turn it in to yellow card rather than points. Wingers barely saw a clean pass to run on to all game. Sarries looked better in attack (esp. w/ Apps), but had too little ball. #PWR
Saracens vs Gloucester-Hartpury 17–22
🏴 #PWR Round 14
Sarries attack being extremely effective, the 2 minutes they had the ball.
The Circus with an absurd 85% territory and their scrum destroying the hosts, but Saracens defence resisting. GH struggling to convert the million penalties into points & barely scraping by with the win.
Leicester Tigers vs Sale Sharks 3–62
🏴 #PWR Round 14
Leicester wins a game (only the 1st 15 minutes where counted)
Not the most brilliant 1st half from Sale, but the difference in strength enough for a 3–17 at HT.
Much better execution after the stop made the score mindboggling and gave then the first 4-win streak in their history.
Exeter Chiefs vs Trailfinders 47–14
🏴 #PWR Round 14
A messy start with both teams looking nervous and sloppy. Exeter got over it, Trailfinders did not.
The visitors handling hindering their attack, and their discipline condemning them. Too many opportunities given away, that the Chiefs, deadly when in enemy 22, where happy to take.
Loughborough Lightning vs Harlequins 43–33
🏴 #PWR Round 14
A jittery start by the home team, with Quins seeming to get the best of them.
Once Loughborough got over their nerves, they where so great.
A good attempt by the visitors to get back into the game was cut short by another Lightning charge scoring twice to seal the deal.
