Calvisano v Tigers - return fixture next week

[OakhamTiger32]

Excellent maul! Cancelled out nicely by an average kick and a high tackle

Yep.. just about sums it up sadly!

[Tiglon]

Anyone got a clue what that red card was for? Game over, I predict 3/4 more tries for Tigers to paper over the cracks and disguise the performance.

Nope.
Couldn't tell by the animations of the officials either.

Maybe hands around the face? maybe

If it is game over it’ll put an end to a woeful display

Do Tigers actually practice line outs? I've lost count how many they have messed up.

10 min to get 2 tries to at least leave with a half respectable result.. performance has been dire and the result won’t mask that but 5 points is really what’s required

Having never played a game of rugby myself, can someone that has tell me what the technical bit of the line out is that we struggle with. Can’t you just throw the ball to each other 8 hours a day until it becomes second nature?

Difference between practice and match time though

On a positive note Taufua looks a class act. Different team since he came on.

You have to believe that every Tigers player is capable of much better than what we're seeing on match day. On paper, I think the current squad is the best we've had for years, but the performances just don't reflect it.

Taufua and Leatigaga have both had a very positive impact, looking forward to seeing more of them.

Shame Lavanini just picked up that yellow...and yet the player jumps up like a spring chicken from the magic spray

Davide Zanetti had been given a yellow card earlier in the match. This may have been a second yellow and a subsequent red rather than a straight red.

Ah thank you.

I think the yellow was perhaps more for Tigers giving away a penalty every single time Calvisano got to within 5 metres, rather than any kind of violent play.

Not a great game but 4 out of the last 5 in all comps.

[OakhamTiger32]

Can’t think of many Tigers wins I’ve enjoyed less than that. With the exception of the points made above about Taufua and Leatigaga which I completely agree with, that was an absolutely diabolical performance. Yes we won, yes we are top of the group but to scrape a 20-13 win against a side like that is pathetic. Especially after the red card!
