Gloucester vs. Tigers - Sun 30 Aug 20 (1630)

[Scott1]

How long did we last?!

[POSTIGER]

Final pass was forward but I get the feeling it's not going to have a huge bearing on which teams wins this game.

In goes the second try, easy as you like.

[Andy W]

Early signs are that Tigers intend to kick to the (extremely dangerous) Gloucs back 3, and with an inconsistent chase.

A couple of tries down after 8 mins.

Other than that the team have done ok.

Could be 40 on the first half. Glaws are running rings round us. Bower and Clare look so ponderous they are never there in defence so the backs are having to step in only only to be done out wide by the Glaws midfield.

Men Vs boys.

Oh wow talk about compounding our own errors.......

[Andy W]

.. it looked like two forward passed in the first try but TMO checked, so...what can you do.

Long afternoon likely, but if Tigers can keep the margin of defeat to less than 20-25 that will be a decent effort.

[Leicestertinytiger]

Zach Henry does have something special about him ball in hand.......

[sam16111986]

On the upside the scrum looked half decent. Nice spell of pressure bringing another three pointer. Would have liked us to go for a scrum there and try and rank up the pressure. At least try and take some of the legs out of the more mobile Glaws pack.

Been doing it for the last 2 seasons and yet we still persist with it

Jonny May doesn't drop many so I would have thought that's a pretty forlorn sort of tactic. My word Olowofela's tackling needs some work.

[Scott1]

Oh well ,I expect the youngsters will learn a lot from another tonking anyway so it doesnt matter

[Greenwhiteandred]

Defence is very poor today - incredibly passive allowing Gloucester to make easy yards and create the space wide. Line speed needs to improve

[Scott1]

Another TBP against us before HT?

It doesn't help we have a half decent chase that don't want to go up and compete for the ball. You've got to get airborne and get stuck into the guy receiving it.

I've defended him a lot on here but Owolfela doesn't look like he wants to be there. He's got to show more hunger.

We are defending too narrow and are getting picked off outside.

[chewbacca]

Would be a success if there wasn't
