Toulon v Tigers - Challenge Cup Semi

[POSTIGER]

Well we aren't great but its really galling when officiating mistakes lead to two tries against you.

The first try shouldn't have stood but I can forgive them missing that. The second is so blatantly in at the side, there is no explaining that one.

Gengey asking the ref something as they went off, started to hear the chat clearly until commentators felt they had to fill the air with their voices instead of listening to something that may have been of interest.

Not a great half but Toulon have had all the ball

Mainly because we've kicked it to them

[POSTIGER]

Our tackling is :censored:. Who is our defence coach again?

[TigerMac3]

Tin hat on. Don’t think the ref himself has had that bad a half. Lack of any TMO intervention on the other hand...

Problem once again is the lack of any go forward game plan. Oh. And the 47 missed tackles

[LE18]

Not a great half but Toulon have had all the ball and most of the decisions and haven't ran away with it, if we're within 10 going into the last 20 our match conditioning should come into play. Wouldn't put money on it mind but the games not gone yet.

They've had all the ball because we kicked it to them, here you are, its your Christmas present.

[POSTIGER]

If your tactic is to play for territory, make sure your kicks aren't absolutely rubbish.

Our lineout is literally the only functional part of this team.

Toulon deserve the lead, better team; however... their 2 tries should have been penalties to us which is hard to take! Ref has been very poor and pitch not much better! That said too many unforced errors, poor kicks, missed touches, missed tackles and kicks going dead.. need to step up second half and we’ll be right back in this. Carry on with the dire kicking and they’ll be out of sight by 60 min!

Lack of any TMO intervention on the other hand...

TMO is there, as evidenced when George tried to steal a metre in front of the posts.....

[WhitecapTiger]

Our lineout is literally the only functional part of this team.

making progress then as previously it was absolute pony a lot of the time

[POSTIGER]

We've lost this one already. I know this makes me a terrible fan but I just can't watch us play when we're just so, so bad. I'm not watching the inevitable.

Have a good weekend all. Roll on next season.

[Jimmy Skitz]

for where we are as a side right now George Ford simply isn't worth the money, he needs to lead and impose himself on the game and make something happen instead it seems that he is the one wanting the kicking game, Henry doesn't do it nearly as much for example.

If he won't implement what ever attacking plans we are working on then simply put he shouldn't be in the squad.

[LE18]

We are going to come out this half and murder them! I hope!!!!

[RagingBull]

When Blackadder left Bath for me that was Tigers with Mauger.
They treaded water but didn't hit the rock bottom.
BUT Tigers had a season with MOC which took them too that rock bottom.

[Systonite]

We're in this. Few decisions have not gone our way and we've made some bad mistakes, but there's not much between us and them.

[Robespierre]

The Toulon groundsman must be on furlough or else he’s incompetent!
