Don't forget who is officiating. Never known to give Tigers a break.
A life long Tiger
Re: cheer ourselves up - Racing v Tigers
Ma’afu? Maybe both Gigena and Bateman have taken hits. Apart from that no gripes

Re: cheer ourselves up - Racing v Tigers
Hi all, I’m a long time lurker of this forum and felt no better time for my first post than this weekend against the French galacticos! This is a game that we can win. A lot of the discussion this season has revolved around big time players in key positions not showing up, I believe Sunday could be the game that they do. We have good options in the back row (the area I believe has been our biggest weakness positionally) and a front row ready to take on the big boys of Paris. For one weekend I hope this forum can forget about GG, SC, MF, the hotel, the carpark etc. and get behind the team... I look forward to celebrating GM’s first European away victory as head coach!
Re: cheer ourselves up - Racing v Tigers
To all those venturing to Paris this weekend especially Johnthegriffs party may you all have a safe trip and cheer on a team that really needs your noise now. Keep warm with cognac and remember -

Re: cheer ourselves up - Racing v Tigers
Don't get too excited about tomorrows game. Racing are the inform team and although they made hard work of it against the Scarlets away they absolutely hammered Ulster at home. I hope for a win but I would be satisfied with a good performance and a point or two. However, as we saw last week it only takes a red card, a moment of madness to destroy a game plan. Lets hope if there's a red its for Racing

Cab someone please sneak them out of the dressing room at half time and on the coach and up to the airport to save further embarresment.
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.

Re: cheer ourselves up - Racing v Tigers
Shame Holmes is injured. Halfway to a bonus point. I’ll happily lose this half 4-2 on the tries front and take a point.
Re: cheer ourselves up - Racing v Tigers
Not overly impressed with Racing, a couple of defensive errors and a referee that isn’t up to speed with modern rugby have cost us. If we can cut the errors we will be there or thereabouts at 80.
