Tigers @ Gloucester - Friday 24th September 2021 - 1945

[Big Dai]

Madiran... The tannic monster of the south west!

[kk20gb30]

Any away victory is worth noting - especially considering where we were not too long ago.We may have traveled a distance but are not there yet - have to stay grounded and focused and keep looking to improve.....

[Downsouth]

10 points from 2 games and still plenty to work on. Isn't that a great position to be in! I felt our tempo dipped in the 2nd half, bringing on someone like Saumaki could have changed that. We must also have the best 4th choice hooker in the world, yes I know he is an England International .....

[Robespierre]

Madiran... The tannic monster of the south west!

Clearly a man of taste (and Welsh too?)

[TigerFeetSteve]

Does anyone know when the match will be up on the Premiership Rugby website?

Sarries can't be looking forward to Saturday now!

It's now there

4. Henderson
5. Green
6. Brink

8. Wiese
9. Youngs

That, RB, is a very very good point.

Just watched the full recording - but I think I got the wrong match. Having read some of the comments here I was looking for evidence of GF having “a shocker”/“an embarrassment”.

Those fans who label anything less than a 10/10 stellar performance “a shocker” must exist in an almost permanent state of outrage and disappointment! It wasn’t a perfect day for him - he’ll probably be disappointed at his success rate from the tee - but there were still enough moments of class to keep me happy (the pinpoint kick to the corner, the quick set up for Genge’s try, a couple of lethal spiral bombs). Does this mean my expectations are too low?!

Absolutely they are

We happy clappers may be deluded - but we probably keep our blood pressure at a healthier level….!

This reveals the squad depth we now have. Competition for places is healthy and no doubt that we'll need them all before the season is over!

There is a lot more to a 10 than kicking at the posts...

[Dangerous4]

A splended win, and what a difference S B has made. Whilst not the perfect game, last night we were winners.

It's good to see the less experienced players make an impact. Both B Y and particularly G F were not at their best last night, and that was the only down side that I could see, but I'm sure they will bounce back quickly, knowing there are other good choices, waiting to seize their opportunities. Dolly had another stand out game.

Keep up the good work chaps, and step up a couple of gears for the Sarries match.

[RagingBull]

I wonder if having Nadolo defend at 12 and Scott defend on the wing would make sense.

Given how well he reads the game and can outmuscle most forwards.

I concur
