[QUOTE="stormmaster1, post: 118225"] tigers lost it at the breakdown. A few times Tigers did get through the magnificent first line of defence, but then either knocked on or turned the ball over. worsleys performance was good because he always has been a world class tackler, and all he was asked to do was tackle tackle tackle. The wasps performance was very well thought out. They didn't try and play their natural game, but play the best game to beat Tigers. They got 2 soft tries, probably the result of much video analysis and their game plan was always a winner once they got ahead. the fact that Wasps nicked so much ball and rarely got penalised at the breakdown untill the last 10 mins showed just how dominant they were. I could criticise them for not playing much rugby ball in hand, but that would be pointless, as why would they want to change a gameplan that's working flawlessly? they did a real good job of getting into Tigers' faces, which probably helped lead to Tigers being unable to hold the ball whenever they had half a chance. At the end of the day the better team won. Tigers are still a quality side but just didn't perform today. Wasps didn't look unbeatable, but Tigers' execution let them down whenever they hinted at getting back in the game. And much as it pains me to say it, Dallaglio was very gracious in victory.
