Worcester v Tigers

Honestly, with Harrison at 9 and Williams at 10 I think we'll kick ass whatever the rest of the team is.

As an ass is a donkey, do you mean that we will kick their forwards?

(Remind me, are you a Yank?)

Another windy encounter. I expect the kicking from hand to go better with the change of 10.

I'm going tomorrow, glad that Worcester are in this league now so I have another game that I can get to relatively easily, along with Glos. Slightly disappointed that I won't see Fitz or O'Connor in action…such is life. Our game and intent has moved on to such an extent, that as good as Croft, Crane, Kitchener etc are, they need to move up to the level of Williams, O'Connor and Fitz, who have the shirt at the moment, particularly in the bigger games. We should have enough to beat Worcester, but they'll be looking at getting back on track after a heavy defeat last week. We need to keep the momentum going into the crucial 2 Munster games.

Excellent squad usage by the coaches fancy we are in a good place with this evolving team. Ideal opportunity for all to stake a claim for the Munster games, think this could be a great game for us.

COME ON YOU TIGERRRRRrrrrrsssss

I am surprised we are rotating so much against Worcester. I mean they have so far been good this season. They beat Saints and Newcastle. Think we should still win, but a risk.

We were always going to have to rotate more this year given the post rwc fixture pileup. What's good is that you look at the teams selected and the combinations make sense with the team staying balanced. Think we have to approach on the basis that you'll win nothing this year without 30-35 players who you're happy to see in the starting team without a notable fall off in quality. Is a good philosophy.

17-0. Williams (Mike) off injured. Sounds like we are getting ripped to shreds.

Well this is dire, although it is what happens when you have nobody to slow their ball down

And a bit of a reality check on route Welford Road...we look shocking!

Too many changes?

Need to score next to have any chance.

[Tigerbeat]

Apparently playing into a strong wind

Too many changes?

Need to score next to have any chance.

The lack of a number 7 is whats hurting us so far, their ball has been as fast as they want it

Now Bateman is off injured too

[Tigerbeat]

Yellow card for Worcester 6

Yellow card for Worcester 6

We must take advantage. Too many heads already at Thomond Park?

[kpj tiger]

This is appalling so far, Crane just butchers a good opportunity by running to a pod of 3 Worcester forwards on his own
