Blood & Mud

SHIT/GOOD™ Ratings - 26 October

SHIT

Harry Ellis - Outplayed by Jason Spice at the Arms Park and has lost his mojo this season. Ordinarily this would not be a problem for him, but this year his average form has coincided with Danny Care playing like a superman.

Bristol - All of them are in this category for not managing to muster a single point as they were hammered by the Scarlets. Now, we all knew that they were scripted to lose at the farewell to Stradey Park match, but there was no obligation to shred their own dignity at the same time.

Dylan Hartley - Ran around like a Tasmanian Devil with road rage for most of the game against Saracens before then attempting to decapitate Moses Rauluni. Bearing in mind he already has a six-month ban behind him in his short career his attitude is beyond stupid.

GOOD

Nicky Robinson - An outstanding win by the Blues at home to Leicester was down to many factors; Blair's kicks, Jamie Roberts' power up the middle to name a couple. But the main performance of note was that of Nicky Robinson, who marshalled the Cardiff side with aplomb. Could it be that at 26 he is finally fulfilling the great promise he has shown since debuting as a teenager?

Timoci Nagusa - Ulster beat Munster. Let's write that again - ULSTER BEAT MUNSTER - and no-one was more instrumental than the Fijian winger who crossed twice and Ravenhill to secure the shock victory.

Lesley Vainikolo - Two tries from the Tonglish Torpedo meant that Glaws rescued a win and their dignity from the jaws of defeat at home to Gwent Dragons. He seems to be slowly finding his feet now that the England spotlight has been pointed elsewhere
