Only 4 points away from 3rd.

TV, why do you dislike the wage cap from a Tigers point of view.
Just interested.

I’m not convinced it’s governed properly and certain clubs have cheated it without being sanctioned properly.

I fully concur.

I always thought our inability to secure bonus points last season was a material part of not making the top 4. We seemed to win small and lose big compared to other teams. So it is interesting to note that, at the halfway stage and despite our concerns this season, we are already only one point behind our total BP tally for last season.

Note: I have searched and found 2 different figures in tables for last year. One gives us 10 BP and one 11 BP with both tables showing 22 games played so not sure which is right. I took the lower figure because it makes the story better !!

Sorry to spoil things. Looked at the Aviva Premiership site and Thikipedia and both have us with 63 pts total (and 11 BP). As there are 4 pts for a win and 2 for a draw, the only way you can have an odd points total is to have an odd number of BPs, so definitely not 10 whichever way you look at it.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I was talking specifically about bonus points on their own rather than the total e.g.1 bp for 4 tries

You were clear, but I guess that I wasn't. The only way to get an odd number of total points is to have an odd number of bonus points, so it can't be 10 bonus points.

Ah yes I see what you mean now; well spotted! I still think 9 at the halfway point is a big improvement

Wouldn’t a four try draw yield 3 points (with 2 bonus points)? Therefore an odd points total without an odd number of BPs....

Why is that 2 BP's? 2 for the draw plus 1 TBP. No LBP as there is no loss. Am I missing something?

Gloucester starting to lose all their momentum.

Yep. Given a lesson by Munster tonight and quite frankly I can't see them getting anything away at Castres next week.

That was some defence from Munster!! I hope GM and Phil Blake was watching and can instil that into the Tigers minus the few offsides on the line of course?
