That would certainly be a great outcome. Let’s hope the lads can get the job done todayMark62 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 12, 2020 10:28 am Been trying to work out what we need from the next 2 games to get a home quarter.
Toulon and Bristol have already qualified and with Toulon at home and Bristol at Zebre, they will likely qualify as top 2 seeds.
Bordeaux have also qualified and are on 22 points, but they have a trip to the Ricoh next weekend so should be a tough fixture for them.
Castres top the other group on 18 points but are away to Worcester next weekend, and if Worcester win and deny Castres anything, they will top that group on 19/20 points.
So a win today of any sort means we top the group, a bonus point win puts on 23 points and Possible 3rd seeds but depending on Bordeaux 4th seed as their points difference is better than ours.
Pau are also still in the hunt to qualify as one of the best group runners up.
If I had to put 50 p on it I think the qualifiers in seeding order will be:
Toulon, Bristol, Bordeaux, Tigers, Worcester, Pau, Castres and Edinburgh, with the quarters being
Toulon v Edinburgh
Bristol v Castres
Bordeaux v Pau
Tigers v Worcester

At this stage a home quarter is priority but it’s good to see so much positivity about potential opponents.
I suppose we could ask when did we last beat Bristol before last week

Re: Tigers vs Cardiff - 12th January 2020
Tom great break but you had a back to your right, why did you only look for Bateman?
Try Lewis as I type

Re: Tigers vs Cardiff - 12th January 2020
Can't get to the game and watching it on TV - you have never heard me really have a go at the ref cos he should be the same for both sides but does he understand the scrum laws or is he just guessing?
Hehehehehehehehe
Re: Tigers vs Cardiff - 12th January 2020
Looks like he's guessing. Or he left his guide dog at home.

Great response after some self induced early pressure. Nice support line from the ever mobile Lewis

Re: Tigers vs Cardiff - 12th January 2020
yet again - scrum - we get penalised for an early push - they push early - re-set

Bit lacklustre at the minute, no real tempo or urgency from Tigers. Need to up the intensity for the second half.

Blue's handling is very good and quick and leads to their second try.

White is back to his pedantic best. Slow, slow and even slower.

Re: Tigers vs Cardiff - 12th January 2020
Not good from the young 9 there. Clancy is letting the tacklers roll away about 30 seconds after the tackle but he's got to be looking at what's on and trying to bring some tempo to the attack we have no momentum.
