Leicester Tigers

Well this has got really rather rubbish rather quickly.

2 yellows, 1 red. A litany of mistakes and penalties. No idea how it's still a 1 point game. Doubt it will be come full time.

That looked to me like the ball was thrown into Shilcock's hand.
Yellow card. Penalty try.

Butchering tries, conceding penalties. Doing our absolute best to chuck this away.
Thankfully they've just butchered one as well.

Go 5 ahead with 5 minutes to play. Still lose.
Rubbish.

No! Shhh

Yes.
Always yes.
Practically every time.

Is this game going to be filed in the extremely crowded 'late defeat' drawer?

When I'm not watching I invariably raise an eyebrow at the forum referee complaints. I then watch a game and raise the other eyebrow. I can almost hear my late father - who refereed a high standard of Leicestershire rugby - saying 'in my day that would've been a penalty the other way'. And other suc...

Great start. TMO points out that Glos knocked on meaning the player who picked the ball up was offside.
The ref's reply? 'Too late'.

Have we thrown it away?
Or are we blaming the officials again?
Either way - no surprise.

That line out sums it up beautifully.

Another red zone opportunity butchered. Dubious officiating aside we really aren't good enough in too many facets.

Chessum goes off. Leinster score. I think that's this one done.

Missed touch with a penalty, seconds later we've a man in the bin.
Refereeing aside we really, REALLY don't help ourselves.

And their opening penalty should've been given our way.
