We made it very hard for ourselves with our defense in the first half.
I've been critical of Ben Youngs playing better for England than Leicester for years, but today i thought he was great.

We had them in the scrum, topped up by a great display from tee by Freddie and Owen.
Miler missed, by his standards, two certs.

Silly mistakes nearly cost us the game , Williams kicking nerveless, great to see Coley and yby put in 80 minute shifts.

Second week running Genge was huge both in the loose and getting 5 scrum penalties, Lions outside bet anyone and for me motm

I would say we were more of a team and Stains performance dropped dramatically with the removal of Groome and especially Picamoles.

Let's kick on now under Matt O'Connor, it's not his fault he got the job, and get that top 4

Committed, honest and selfless display, a tigers team that leaves everything on the pitch has now been seen for 2 weeks running, outstanding performance, under Mauger tigers have come so far from the early season shambles, why let him go, only time will tell if it was a good decision!!

Game of the season for me, mage may have presided over some shocking results but he is a fighter and the results from the last month or so have really spoken for his quality as a coach and as a bloke, I really hope the board know what they are doing appointing MOC

Great Win, players did it for Mage, clearly he does not want to leave, why oh why didn't players do it earlier for him, guess injuries will be the answer, really think he has been wrongly done by! Hope he finds a good club soon.

It'll be great to welcome him back to Welford Road when he brings his Saints team over next season! [...really wish I hadn't thought that, never mind said it!]

Never say die Tigers through to the last of the 80 minutes, what an effort from all, Ellis you are a star amoung a Tigers team that has shown everyone what we are made of.
To Aaron l say thank you for all that you have done for our & your team of Tigers we will remember you with fondness for your obvious commitment to the team & we wish you well in where ever your next job takes you.
Maybe one day not to long away we will get the chance at Welford road to show our thanks for those efforts & obvious passion for this great club.
Thank you Aaron. :smt038 :smt038 :smt038 :smt039

I loved the way he appeared, to me anyway, to be asking how Tigers reject Brookes had become an England player. I know he had a bad reputation but today his behaviour was impeccable, impose himself, tell his oppo just how useless he is, let him boil up and stood his ground without being aggressive, other than verbally.

Just what I expect from a Tigers prop!

It's all well and good doing that now, but where was that 3 weeks ago v Exeter? If they had the coach they all like might still be with us.
