O’flaherty is a heck of a player both sides of the ball

[Rugbygramps]

Nasty incident but brilliantly handled by the officials totally unavoidable

[Rugbygramps]

Exeter blown that only get 4 points but up to 4th now

[Ian Cant]

Thought Exeter would easily get the try bonus point. Well done Sale.
Makes our bonus point even better now.
Just got to get a win v Irish.

Exeter looking very good: lots of pace in their backs!
Really feel we have to find some attacking threats from the backs soon!
The Premiership is building to be the most exciting fight for top 4 and then 5th and 6th for a long time!!

They have very good hands in their backs, I love the way they ran, passed etc to 2 very quick jinky wingers, sadly Nandolo and Kini are big guys, very strong, but I feel they are not quick enough, and if thy do break through we don't seem to have fast men following, Potter and Porter are faster and better at that.

Agreed we still lack an effective attack and serious pace. Our forward play has developed nicely but we now need to hone our attack because against the best teams who have we have been found wanting. We can no longer continue to rely on tries via the forwards.

I haven’t got the figures, but I get the distinct impression that the likes of Potter, Porter, Nadolo, Kelly , Burns etc have all scored multiple times this season. It has been well documented that the attack was the last thing to be worked on and is a work in progress. I really don’t get all this negativity about how we score points, we are 12 points ahead at the top of the table and with the wind in the right direction will have qualified for the play offs after the next 2 matches, or is this all a lovely dream.

No doubt Tigers progress this year has been epic. I guess its all about expectation as to if we can get any silverware. I believe we can.

If we get a home semi final would back us against anyone .

I worked out that if all the other teams currently in the top 4 won the rest of their matches with a try bonus point Tigers would need 18 points from their remaining 6 matches to ensure 2nd place and a home semi.

Excellent work from what I can see 2 big weekends coming up. Round 23 when we go to Quins and Exeter go to Sarries and the final round where Quins are at Exeter. Other fixtures of note are Saracens at Sale on a Friday night and same weekend Quins at Irish. Sarries also travel to kings Holme last game of the season
