Covid excuses re linesman and tmo .should be neutral as too refused to look at gouges. European rugby are silly. The French officials will bias their team and its been do obvious its embarrassing.
Tigers are a mess. Sadly kept my money in the club for what, no progress at all. What do they do in training

You're having a laugh aren't you? We were only in this as we ran onto the pitch at the start.

The Toulon players on the pitch are not the 'Galacticos' of years past and this is very much up there with the worst we've played.

This was supposed to be THE focal point of the restart and 'pointless' end of season.

Completely inept in decisions and execution - on, and seemingly off, the field.

We are only in SF because Castres couldn’t play us.

We have a long way to go to be competitive I’m afraid. This is our strongest team right now and it’s pretty poor stuff especially when experienced internationals are playing so poorly

Taking quick tap penalties when you have advantage...but the penalty hasn't been given :smt018 amateurish.

I wished Poite was ref then I could have said "What has the Romain ever done for us"

We seem to have gone from a team hoping Manu can bosh his way through to a team hoping Nadolo can bosh his way through.

TMO sounded very disappointed he had no clear evidence to overrule the ref
