Actually Tigers are so woeful they could be beaten by the skin off a rice pudding.

Tigers. You are not team you once were. The playing pool is not deep enough nor does it have the class or cussedness of yesteryear. Surely. Change must come now. They sacked Deano for less.

I'm glad I didn't waste money crossing the water to watch that garbage! Having said that, all credit to Munster. They thoroughly deserved it.

Leicester were lucky to get nil!

Munster were very good - congratulations.

Hamilton the best Tigers player on view

Only things worse than Tigers Healey's commentary and Poite's refereeing

Well impressed with CJ O'Stander's Irish accent!!

Usually when we play badly we drop the ball a lot or have poor defense. This time we were totally dominated in every way possible way on a rugby pitch. There is less domination in bdsm dungeon porn. That was truly the worst performance I have ever seen by Tigers. They all deserve to have their wages cut for a month.

That sums it all up for me, Hamilton looked to the physical when we really needed it. Harrison put his body on the line, which many didn't.

Munster were well on top of their game, we looked slow in all departments.

It's going to be a long week......

Yes it's hard to remember such a poor performance from a Tigers team in such an important fixture. Basics terrible, skills lacking, heart sadly lacking with one or two exceptions (McCaffrey/Worth/Hamilton), and confidence again shattered.

I predict a narrow win next week (yes really!), but that will just be papering over the cracks unfortunately.

Not one of our players would get close to being picked for Munster .A truly dispiriting performance in every way .Only Hamilton had any go forward .

Leicester were poor, painful to watch - but Poite's referring was absolutely dreadful - he missed truck and trailers in mauls, sent Tualagi off without referring to the video (which showed there wasn't much in it) and granted a penalty try that stretch Armstrong wouldn't have scored even with 10 metre arms.

Munster were far better at the breakdown, and in the kicking game, but often fine margins were made worse by poor referring in my view.

Let's hope Tigers show up and turn things around at Welford Road.....

Not just lack of heart but speed of thought way behind Munster.. Can you coach heart and speed of thought? Has the Munster heart been rekindled by the sad loss of Foley?

Average team, very average management. We are steadily descending into also-rans in every area.

Corkers is not a bad DOR but that's the problem - he's not particularly good either.

Many on here ridiculed Saints' performance last night, suggesting Mallinder and White will lose their jobs. Well words can come back and haunt you. We were no better, in fact far worse. Sackings must come either sooner or later, but certainly by the end of the season. Feel very very sorry for those supporters who paid good money to watch this dross.

Oh and by the way I am not a Saint's troll, but as a Tigers supporter for many a year I expect better than this.
