Leicester Tigers

No question Tigers showed spirit and determination, and an increasing number of excellent plays. However they still fail to execute basics for 80 mins. Things like first up tackles, passes that the receiver can take without breaking stride, don't give away needless penalties....

Do they actually practice passing the ball?

Tigers look like a scratch side.

Despite an early red card and a yellow later in the game the Red Roses thumped Italy 0-48.

30 missed tackles.

Tigers look really lethargic.

Will England continue to play Chessum at 6? I thought he looked a little lighter than in the past, more in the Lawes/Croft style, a 6 who can cover lock. If so do Tigers need another lock?

The second-row Junior Kpoku looks out-standing, currently playing for Racing, let's hope an English club entices him to play in England.

Attitude wonderful, even when getting hammered in the first half they kept fighting to stay in the game.
Gradually fought their way into the game and moved away in the second half.

Need to pull Furbank off, just not international quality.

All the backs were poor, they look like they are a scratch side. I think Wiggleworth is the backs coach? Needs to be moved out ASAP.

Does Shilcock actually think before he kicks?

Shilcock is having a very poor game. Kicking from hand is awful.

Still not convinced Dingwall is what England need at 12. Other than the try I only noticed him missing tackles.

I thought Steward had his best game for a while, needs longer studs though.

Pack fronted up well, but probably need a brute like Martin in there.
