Leicester Tigers

Good to see Phil C backing himself and driving to the line.

Also taking their points.
Experienced cohesive team vs Tigers!

Scrum not going well. We have underpowered this.

He had a very good first half, like most of the Gloucester team but they all found it harder to compete in the second half. Mercer was man of the match first half but not convinced he was second half.

Build a score and then the pressure mounts.

Exactly. I hope Tigers learn that for tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Good to see Tommy carrying in attack. Freddie S also had s good run early on. Both have been criticised for their attacking in the past but really stepped up. Can Tommy not do it against England though please.

Ref letting a lot go at the breakdown. Welsh player entered from England side to seal off. No one stays on their feet (since about 2012 actually!).

By “made” I mean that he did not need to stop the welsh player. Underhills tackle was sufficient. There actually would have been a turnover opportunity.

Tackle already made so Chessum needs to pull out. Dominant should in too. Big hit mentality will get cards if not times right. Like it or not.

Freddie took all the high balls he could today and some with a lot of traffic around. He made many meters after catching them too. After todays performance I cannot see him moving from 15 or any coach wanting him to.

For those who do not recall the incident.

Hodge had a mare against Sarries. Freddie has one or two misfortunes, if not mistakes, as bounce of ball etc can get you. Hodge was targeted by Sarries, they dont do that with Freddie! Have 3 Freddies in the back 3 would be wrong. Need a balance of skills, speed and power in the back three. He contr...

Can we have an away section in The Shed? That would really :censored: some of them off

I recall that Alltrad were interested in investing in Gloucester but could not have a controlling interest in two clubs in the same competition. So how would investing in 4 clubs work from an open and dair competition perspective?

Illione was also England U20 captain and kept Cunningham South on the bench. I appreciate there may be study issues but also opportunity issues. Sometimes I think Tigers do not play those deemed to be youth enough whilst we do conversely have many young players who have broken through and are now em...
