The Derby Round v Northampton - Premiership Rugby Cup

[BigDan50]

Agree, Thackers been superb.

[Mark62]

And of course his lack of size has nothing to do with the penalty try they’ve just conceded at scrum time.

He is a very dynamic player who suits the way Pat Lam wants to play but not aware he is playing for either Leicester or Northampton

[Scott1]

He wasn't our hooker in the Saracens scrum penalty try destruction. Just saying...

[longlivethecrumbie]

Harry Thacker is, rightly or wrongly, no longer a Tigers player. Get over it and please support the players we do have wearing the shirt.

[WhitecapTiger]

If people want to talk about an Ex-Tiger who left us (Yes, I mean Thacker) could they please possibly start a separate thread so those who have heard enough about it can avoid the repetition rather than steer/drag this one down the inevitable road of criticising anything and everything that Tigers do.

How's our match going?

Joe Ford has scored a try, 15 points for him so far today, and it's 26-20 according to the BBC website, Saint have a TBP, for some reason I've lost my BBC RL coverage online.

Well said sir

[Scott1]

I apologize wholeheartedly,I will flay myself later! sounds like J.Ford is having a blinder!

Yes he was!
Not having a great weekend commenting are you, first the Tigers pack will be dismantled today, and then big up Thacker for Bristol and then they crumble at the set piece to concede s penalty try!
Just to top it off Joe Ford has scored!
Should possibly learn to go a bit longer, control the excitement and not be so premature!

[Scott1]

Late try ,wasn't far off the 20 point loss then. Oh well another plucky loss ...

[fleabane]

47 - 20

[JP14]

Went away from us at the end, looks as though young Fred played well, try and try-assist (chargedown)

[BigDan50]

Doesn't matter if it's a plucky loss, a loss is a loss, how many more are we going to suffer this season

[kpj tiger]

47 - 20

Saints did score 3 tries in the last 5 mins, from what I've read it sounds like it was a lot closer than the scoreline suggests
