Live from the Western Force friendly
It's half time, 22-0 to the mighty Tigers and I thought I'd post a topic on the free wi-fi from my iPhone to say it's good to see the lads playing at Welford Road again. I'm particularly impressed with Herring, Flood and Mauger so far. Herring is everywhere and making a real nuisance of himself.

Not many lineouts due to the new ELVs. Lots more space for the backs to run into. Blaze and Wentzel were pretty good, a few steals. Croft was really good - should be a centre. Alex T was his usual 'lets run over everybody' self. Blaze took a bad knock and had to go off but he walked/jogged off. Flood made a big difference at 10 giving Mauger space but so did the ELVs. The only player IMO that didnt spark as the rest was Danny Hipkiss. Tom Youngs was as strong as ever and Geordian Murphy was his usual cool self especially under the high ball. The WF defended well despite the score line but really had no attack to speak of. All-in-all a good run out ready for the Glaws. A good all-round performance.No6_Flanker wrote:I'm just wondering (because I missed the match) did our 2nd row partnerships compliment each other - how was our line-out? Was our Back-row balanced?

Standout performances from anyone? Who put their hands up?

I actually thought Western Force were very poor and wonder whether it was more of a run out than a genuine pointer for the season.
However, having said that the amount of their ball we turned over was impressive, but I did worry at the speed with we were recycling our own ball.
In terms of Flood I thought the Flood/Mauger combination looked good but once Mauger went off I thought Flood and the centres looked a bit out of sync.
But hey it was a pre-season friendly and that's the time to iron out issues.
