Yep, I’m waiting to see if there is any sort of clamp down before cancelling by BT sport subscription but it seems a bit daft to keep paying it.

Thanks for the links, speedski! In between Sunday morning gardening, I've just watched the highlights and was impressed!

Sale will be several notches up from Worcester, but on the evidence of what I've seen this season, Tigers should maintain their unbeaten run.

Having now watched the match in full, it feels like I’m allowed to make comment…

Matt Scott had a superb all round game yesterday. Defence, support lines, breakdown work, line breaks. My MoM

For those of us more IT challenged, please can you explain how this works?

:smt003 According to some you can only have an opinion if you’ve watched the game!

We did indeed play ‘ok’. So ‘ok’ that I’m considering watching it again!!!

Having watched the game well we dominated every facet of the game. Even when Worcester had us camped on our try line our defence looked strong.

We were however, inaccurate and undisciplined on occasion. It's scary to think how much we could still tighten up and improve compared to where we currently are. If we'd tightened up today we could easily have had another three tries maybe more.

What I liked was how the starting 15 played well and then the bench came on firing. Some of the guys who haven't had much of a look in like Burns, Henderson and Murimurivalu really came out looking to make a point. The squad competition is really coming along brilliantly.

I hope the lads had a couple of beers together on the bus on the way home they definitely earned them. Five wins from five and only two TBP dropped is a world away from where we were last season. We don't have to keep this up all season but getting so many points on the board early doors should hopefully give us more opportunities to rest key players later and help us weather the international periods.

Basically a VPN is a "Virtual Private Network"

So if you use one you don't connect to the Internet you connect to the VPN "network" sort of like a work network and then that connects to the Internet. Only difference is that VPN is worldwide, so if you have one in say Australia, youu technically are on a network with a place in Australia and then that connects to the Internet there, so as far as your Internet connection knows you are online in Australia.

Most reputable VPNs are subscription (certainly if used for much data)

So if you were to then buy a sports subscription package in Australia that gives live access to UK sport which as far as your internet access thinks you're in Aus you can get it cheaper even with a VPN subscription on top.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

It’s dead easy.

Buy access to a VPN
Log in to VPN and connect to a server in Australia.
Sign up to a Stan Sports package

Company’s can block VPN access though, once it’s obvious too many connections come from the same server.

The defence in the early second half was crazy, don't think I have seen us his and tackle with so much power and aggression in a while.
Helped that Worcester was lightweight in that regards.

Also why Worcester let Weir go is beyond me apparently wanted a 3 year contract and was offered 1 year, crazy.

I don't like going in on other clubs to hard but they appear to be such a poorly run club

They have some good players, but seem to be less that the sum of the parts. I'd wait a few more games before judging them too harshly I'm not sure many teams could have lived with that Tigers performance yesterday.

I was there with my son and every part of the visit showed we were in total control. From the way, the travelling 32 (yes there were 32) began to warm up to the end of the game we oozed confidence in what we were doing. It was a class performance against a not very good Warriors team. As others have said, this needs to be continued over the next few weeks. Wins against Sale, Saints, and Bath and I will begin to believe that we are in with a real chance of winning some silverware this year. 25 - 1 on betfair seems a ridiculous bet as the next I can find is 15/2 via oddschecker.
