Isn't it reassuring to know that Sarries are human after all!

The sad thing is it gives Tigers supporters a crumb of hope that the Christmas Eve game is winnable....

It would be, but it will require a sea change in the way Tigers are playing.

Sarries no tackling, could it be that players were afraid to go down on the artificial surface knowing it was possibly rock hard underneath, whereas Clermont plays knew no better as they generally only play on grass?
Incidentally, I thought Farrell was pretty anonymous last night, except for 1 beautifully delayed pass, he looked like he didn't want to know the ball, shipping it on at every possible opportunity.

Agreed. How integral is Toomua to suring up our porous defence?

I can just see Sarries losing heavily again to CA then arresting their slump at our place,nailed on imo. Welford Road is just another ground now.

Wrong. Its just another ground with very poor catering facilities.
