Just watch the game on TV again... Maybe you will see some faults (obstructions) on your firts try, maybe konck on on the second one...

It was swimming pool time for your player... Leicester scrum never punished...

Poor refereing today... and not fair

Great to see the win. Obviously need to win at Ravenhill now.

To be fair, I think there is home refereeing in every HC game - not least last week!

I can't believe Tigers could play that badly yet still win!. Only Waldrom, Deacon and Youngs can take any credit from that game.

Why was 12T left on the bench? What's happened to Scotty? Smith and Agulla were largely AWOL. Stanko poor in the scrum. Murphs only useful as a blocker. Flood terrible first half it goes on and on.

Sorry but this is not a team that is going to achieve anything this season! Glad we won though to at least keep the season interesting.

We need to improve and quickly. I have never seen so many errors from us at home.
Morris has to come into the team as Hamilton was absolutely dreadful how he did not score that try i dont know.

A win is a win and 2 more will put us through. Hopefully Allen will help the backs out when he comes back.

I thought Hamilton did ok for the break. It was a difficult ball to gather with Clermont players around him. Instead he recycled the ball for surely a simple score, but Manu and Youngs messed it up.

You must be mistaken. Apparently this is impossible as Italian teams are no longer a pushover.

Agreed! Watched it in 3D at a mates today. An interesting prspective on the game (+ some old peculiar!) either floody's got slow, Clermont are very fast or the offside line was prematurely breached a few times. Absolute rhubarb from the backs and Thomas showed Scotty how to deal with a loose kick in yer own 22.......I tell you I'm VERY frustrarted!

Very poor 1st half, lucky to be only 9 down, much better 2nd and deserved win against a top french side who were held to only 3 points in 2nd half. Ravenhill will be very hard but a win there and I think Tigers will make it through.

One thing I couldn't understand, Clermont down by 4 and only 5 mins on the clock and they kick for goal? Pretty sure Tigers would have kicked for touch in same circumstances
