Clearly the worse two teams in the league!! Tigers are woeful in all areas, the only positive is Taufaus head down carries, the new car park will be half empty at this rate, awful people are having to pay for that dross!!
Youngs has to take the blame for these lineout losses. I know sometimes it’s an issue of timing when the ball sails on over, but these are underthrown, they are not reaching the man, being picked off ahead of the target, and often lower down.
We look so errorstrewn. And there’s still a lack of structure to my eye, it’s all very reactive and quite slow. Lacks any dynamism. Coaching is dire.
I refuse to accept its having our internationals away, because other teams seem to cope ok.
On the plus side there is still another 40 minutes to try and turn things round.

Looks to me they've worked out Tigers line out, which wouldn't be hard as it's so poor. Forwards holding their own otherwise but mid field play very poor as usual, The table doesn't lie and Tigers are bottom by 5 points for a reason (ignoring Saffas). Can't see it improving until Murphs is shown the door.
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.
Irrespective of the excuses around conditions, 6 nations, injuries - the first half was embarrassing for a professional rugby team. Simply awful. Surely the second half can’t be worse - or can it.....?
Lineout a shocker once again, Hardwick been poor. White, Taufua and Liebenberg been good and scrum has been solid. Otherwise it’s been pretty average so far. I’m glad Sarries are being relegated that’s for sure! Especially as Irish are 17-3 up at Quins.
Let’s hope we can turn it around second half but their half backs have certainly been dictating the game so far
Oakham lad born and bred, Tigers season ticket holder who is enjoying steady progression back towards the good old days!

not to take the points is poor captaincy
Absolutely agree with this 200%. Yet murphs on the radio pregame was lamenting how we have to take the threes as in these conditions it’s almost as important as tries.
Hardwick has had a shocker - hopefully he comes out and rights the wrongs
