Another big Manu hit, Glaws trying to run it out of their 22.

SH kicks and Wells blocks and Tigers have the ball back just inside Glaws 10m line.

Tigers weak at the breakddown and Glaws counter-ruck but a forward pass (It was clearly forward Austin :smt002 ) results in a scrum for Tigers around halfway.

Need to keep our heads and the ball here.

Tigers penalty from the scrum again, Joe Heyes (that not good enough guy) having Glaws loosehead all ends up the last 2 scrums.

Ford kicks to corner. Lineout caught and phase play going on.

Olowofela with a fantastic finish (being checked) in the corner despite a pass from Eastmond that stops him a bit.

TMO rules it out, that is a complete :censored: call from the TMO - 1 job to do and failed (unbiased view)

Absolutely.

Can genuinely say we were robbed there, fantastic finish IMO.

Honestly think the TMO should never get that role again. Absolutely unreal. Needs sacking before he decides a result with his ineptitude.

Tigers penalised for no release, Glaws clear their lines to touch.

Evans made a difference IMO especially at the breakdown always making a mess of it for Gloucester.

Great showing by the back 3
May 131 meters 5 defenders beaten 2 tries.
Holmes 103 meters 8 defenders beaten 1 try.
Olowofela 87 meters 4 defenders beaten Robbed of a try.

Hoping that's the game Olowofela suddenly clicks with senior rugby, looked very good.

Remy time!

But disappointed in the TMO and referee again. Two of our tries should not have been. Forward pass for one and a Jonny May knock on in the tackle before Ford's try. Olewofellas should have stood.

I'm disappointed in the system.

That said. Cole, Evans and Holmes stood out for me. I would have gone with either of these three as mom. Really really pleased with the result.

As I said.....Remy time......and that is always nice when posh Richard is buying. Cheers old chap. Mine's a double..

Fantastic result! I'm just glad for the lads and for my nerves that we had the BP before that absolute travesty of a TMO decision! When even Austin agrees it's a try you know something's gone badly wrong.

much much better, senior players took more ingame leadership and decided the outcome, too often they are too passive, Olewofella was solid if not as spectacular as May and Holmes, Evans superb and Kerr the same
