Aviva Premiership 17/18 - Round 7

[TRF_Olyy]

Really hate seeing seatbelt tackles penalised.
I understand why they are, but most of them are safer than regular tackles really.

Underhill being used on the ball a lot more today.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Took a shot straight to the chin.

Not good, hopefully hasn't rebroken his jaw.

Seems he's back on for the second half - phew... Underhill's off, doesn't look serious though. Might just be precautionary.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

So many players in this game that have played for both clubs, think it's 7?



Also Wayne Barnes is quickly becoming my favourite referee, He communicates so clearly with the players at the breakdown/maul so he doesn't have to be on the whistle all the time

Standard West Country behaviour, ennid?

Standard West Country behaviour, ennid?

Tigers/Newcastle I'm on about
East Midlands/North East, they're probably all related
God knows they talk funny

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Think there is Goneva, Flood, Green, Young, Mermoz, Tait, Barrow,
Coaches Deano and Wells,

 

[ratsapprentice]

I cannot stand it when teams lose sight of the ball at the back of a maul, Fotuali'i should have got that ball away.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

WHAT A TRY BY MAY

Lovely cross field kick by Ford.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Obano's been fantastic for Bath this season.

 

[ncurd]

How did no one tackle Roko there?

 

[ratsapprentice]

Fantastic work from Watson. A very good, if understated, game from Tony.

Bit of Faletau magic to create it.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Tigers remain the only club in the league not to have a try BP this season

 

[ncurd]

No try.....cant see it in the whitewash.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Agree.

Probably goes over, but you can't actually see it; which you need to in order to give it.

 

[ncurd]

.....not convinced by that at all.....

 

[ncurd]

I mean I've seen far clearer evidence not be given.

so annoying we have had 5 games finish on 3 tries.

3rd though so happy enough.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

First game I go to watch and they throw it away. Really disappointed with how lethargic our forwards are to the breakdown and the lack of any ideas in attack.

Tigers have done exactly what they needed to after the first 2 defeats. My worry is the lack of try BP's. At the end of the season if could well make the difference between definitely having a play off spot and competing for 4th again.
