Yes, forgot the in touch incident. My bad. Home QF definitely then?

Scratch side and a LBP away from home. Not bad. We should have fine better with some of our attacking chances. The free kick for early push really was a costly error.

Hardwick looked decent at flyhalf, some rough edges that still need polishing but appears to be developing well and should be starting during the 6N. Little cameo again off the bench for Costelow just to give him another taste of rugby at this level.

I hope Manu is in that line busting form against Bath next weekend. If he is we have every chance of winning that game.

It has to be! Bristol Toulon and Bordeaux-Begles likely you be top 3, then it’s us and Castres level. We have the better PD so we get the home QF

Wouldn’t like to be the bloke after the game that grabbed JT’s nuts. He didn’t sound pleased! :smt018

Bordeaux could overtake Tigers with a Try bonus point win against Wasps as they have a far superior points difference if they also finish on 23 points.....2 points would have guaranteed a home quarter.

A loss...... But a gutsy performance in hostile territory. Ref was........No! The reffing TEAM was poor.

Home QF worth a Remy? Technically cheating my own standards..... But why not!

Yes they could, and will undoubtedly do so but either way we finish 3rd or 4th, thus securing a home QF
