That’s because we hardly win 😂

Refs need to stop assuming an incident is foul play from the off, that last penalty Barnes went into it thinking it was foul play, judge it on its merits not on the fact the TMO wants to look at it, if he does that's not foul play

lol no.
Of course you are,they’ve got 2 points they shouldn’t have. We’ve missed out on a TBP win and gave the team we could’ve gone level with 2 points so yes you are considering the circumstances

Go have a look at their messageboard if you think they will be happy

Didn't think Heyes was more than a penalty. Though there were a number of dull penalties by Tigers that gave LI field position.

Ruined an excellent 70 mins with 10 mins of headless chicken madness. Cannot believe we did our best to lose that match at the end and blew the penalty kick to touch for a bonus point try. Relieved and pleased we managed to win but we must not go to pieces like that again .
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

This season played 14 won 8 so maybe you are proving my point.

Agreed - they’re harrying quite well in the defensive line and besides the first try the midfield defence has been fairly strong.
yet some on here seem desperate to replace Scott ...
Only just seen this but in my view they will only grow as a partnership. Both new players, different languages and I can’t imagine the Scottish accent is easy for Moroni to understand! But with time they are looking better. Why change?!

The last line out drive we messed up should have been a penalty to us as well - fair game to them playing quick and getting up the field but they should have still been on the 5m line defending another line out

Didn’t someone used to say “it’s a funny old game”

Rugby is definatley a funny game to watch at the moment, I’m not sure I enjoy it as much as I used to but that’s a conversation for another thread

Nice to see some backs scoring as a change from the maul (which I think suffered without Montoya). We need to stop thinking 3 tries are enough though...

Be important to have Liebenberg back next week - and I hope Montoya is back.

Just hope van Wyk isn’t suffering from a few head knocks as he impressed me today. Moroni again is a quality player.

McPhillips and JVP for a start anyone?👀
The league leaders and best side in the premiership went from 31-13 up to draw 34-34. Harlequins were 14 points up and drew with Irish 27-27 yet we hung on and beat them. Come on let’s try and enjoy this one! Yes we left a point out there, yes they got 2 points perhaps they might not have got or deserved but we won!
