cheer ourselves up - Racing v Tigers

[markharbtiger]

If it wasn’t for the yellow card, both teams look well matched. I’m being positive and anticipating the win!

[Big Dai]

Fast game. Manu catches that and he's a hero.
Plucky stuff from us with some good hands.

I hope we don't run out of puff!

Doing better than I anticipated but need to score next to have a chance of taking anything from this game.

Good hands from Toomua in particular.

Good hands from Toomua in particular. But I suspect you may be right about running out of puff...

[HantsTiger]

Not too bad at HT, Manu suspect in defence against a lot of runners as he either shoots out of the line or turns to face the sideline and gets isolated. But going forward he's exactly what we need!

Toomua passing nice and flat, just hope we can put May into a gap or 2

[Ian Cant]

Some positive signs apart from the line out woes and not kicking for 3 points knowing how our lineout is inconsistent. Try to win the second half now!
We have shown how good the backs are but hope Holmes is ok. Last thing we need is to get injuries.

Looks a nice stadium despite the plastic pitch. French crowd seem a bit subdued...

Interesting how many players have skinned knees after the 1st half. It looks a tough 4G surface for contact, I'm sure it's great for grip underfoot

[HantsTiger]

What a couple of moves to put Manu in the corner!

[voice of the crumbie]

Back in this now! Just keep it going Tigers!

[HantsTiger]

Nigel making sure the game is all about him Poor decision for Genges yellow

[Ian Cant]

Harsh on Genge as Owens never told him he couldn’t play the ball.
Just get the bonus point try then who knows!
Owens again awful- touch judge’ “ No need to check this it’s a forward pass.”
Owens,” We will check it.” No wonder Genge was about to say something when carded till Fordy did well to stop him.

Nigel has been making poor decisions for a number of seasons now. One of my highlights was when he said we pulled our own driving maul down 5m out from their try line....

[HantsTiger]

Mine was telling their 2 to leave the ball and then letting them play it anyway which lead to a try!
