Tigers v Chiefs

[HantsTiger]

The ref is having an absolute nightmare. That's as polite as I can be.....

I thought he was against us until he binned Salvi and now he seems to have turned on them. At least he's poor for both!

[HantsTiger]

Well it's not pretty but it's a win!

[Big Dai]

Well played again lads. Thought the back row and centres tackled really well. Mat T is as good in defence as in attack. Smithy just gives his all. Heads up rugby for the two tries. Only down side is the old man's had the last of the
Remy.

Kraken time. Take what you can, give nothing back.

Lashing down with rain against the league champions. What more do you want there's some on here reckoned we would loose by 20 points

Despite some iffy calls, it was a good win. Well done to the lads. Have to say, I am seriously impressed with May...
Hopefully Welford Rd is becoming a fortress again.

Gutsy win.

A few injuries though

[Spicer]

Well played. Best performance against one of the best teams. Although we were lucky, Malouf should of had a yellow and we road our luck at times.

[Mark62]

Anyone know why MOC was so animated at the end on the touch line. Appeared to have something to do with the HIAs

[TheRock]

Harry wells has been our best second row this season.
Says a lot about how well he has played and how bad Kitchener and Barrow have been.

My bottle of Rémy is also empty so a bottle of Buzet is awaiting!!

After a lively start by the Chiefs, Tigers stuck to their guns with a solid defence that didn't fail them all match.
The only worrying point was the number of penalties conceded.
'Tis building nicely for Castres in three weeks - can't wait (providing Ryanair don't cancel my flight )

It was more tongue in cheek than a complaint, believe me! I meant not pretty from the point of view that in the first half we were quite loose.

Once the rain set in we looked more settled and with Chiefs chasing the game we were able to rely on our defence (How often have we said that in the last 2 years?!)

Superb win. Errors on both sides and some dodgy refereeing. Physicality right up there, led by Hamilton who was superb, along with Kalamafoni and Wells. Lineout much much better. Toomua again pivotal, his tackle in the first half was brilliant...on Yeandle ? We took our chances, they didn't.

Have to go foraging in the cellar. I have a feeling there's some Gaillac in there still!

Yes it was Yeandle and it was a hell of a hit, as was Fords on Slade towards the end.

Delighted ! . We have a terrific combination at 9,10,12 and if the forwards play like that on a regular basis we will be fine . Sure , Exeter missed some chances but our defence was excellent - Kalamafoni really doing well .
