Re: Tigers v Castres
Next week's match isn't simply a "must win", the winning bonus point is essential - and nothing for Castres. Munster can feel pleased to go home with 2 points which gives them an immediate advantage over Tigers .

Re: Tigers v Castres
I'm not sure it does. If Castres is the best chance for an away win, we still have that opportunity.Robespierre wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2017 3:03 pm Next week's match isn't simply a "must win", the winning bonus point is essential - and nothing for Castres.

Re: Tigers v Castres
Correct Robes! Get a TBP next week and an LBP at TP and its in our hands. 2/3 games are then at home,win both of them and win at Castres who will probably already be our then 19 points should win the group but even though I'm.contradicting myself should easily be enough to get a best loser spot. So come on Tigers,big performance needed next week!
Re: Tigers v Castres
It will be interesting to see what side Castres put out next week, some of their big players had a hard 80 minutes this afternoon.
Racing will quietly fancy getting something in Munster next week, especially if Munsters problems persist at 2nd row

Re: Tigers v Castres
Let's not even think too much of the away match in Castres- yet! (Although I must admit that I am as I'll be going!) as there are another three matches to play before then that need winning!

I think the table will look like this after 6 rounds:
Leicester - 19
Munster - 17
Racing 92 - 16
Castres - 4
Leicester - 19
Munster - 17
Racing 92 - 16
Castres - 4

Re: Tigers v Castres
Another reason TC is not being picked at the moment is the fact that he is, as far as I know, still injured. Perhaps you could ask him, Noddy, next time you see him in the Tryline Club
Tigers for the premiership and European Cup. Get behind the team and make some noise!!
Re: Tigers v Castres
From the replays it had to be either a scrum to Munster or penalty to Castres. The Munster player clearly only touched the scrum half's wrist, not the ball. The ref bottled it as he knew a penalty to Castres gave them the win, and a scrum to Munster gave them the draw. A scrum to Castres kept the game in the balance.Greenwhiteandred wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2017 2:53 pm How the Munster slap down through the ruck wasn't a penalty in the last minute ?
Similarly, the ref in the Saints match just bottled giving Farrell a card, one can only assume because his name is Owen Farrell. I can't see your average non-famous player who isn't on first name terms with the ref getting away with a dump tackle or an elbow to the face...
Some great rugby this weekend, but not exactly the highest of refereeing standards.

Check out the score, says it all!
Leicester have been much better when they show some of what Farrell did, Toomua being the best example so far, Smith also has plenty which is why Tigers are more solid when he plays!

Re: Tigers v Castres
I want 8 tries against Castres so that I can record the game and play it back when I get home on Christmas Eve after watching us play Sarries! Say what you like about the finances/cap - and we do - but that display against Saints was seriously impressive!

Re: Tigers v Castres
Re Farrell tackle was fine, elbow was dodgy but then Harrison had dropped his arm into Farrells neck when he was on the deck, play on.
Did you see his hit on Lawes later on though

And there we go with the personal insults again, because you disagree with me. #tigersfamilyBFG wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2017 7:23 pmLOL card Farrell, are you soft!Tiglon wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2017 6:47 pmFrom the replays it had to be either a scrum to Munster or penalty to Castres.

Yes Pakalani is registered for Europe but Jonah Holmes and Kitto are not registered.

Re: Tigers v Castres
Disappointing for Holmes. It seems his move here may not have been the best perhaps as sadly for him there were several coaching changes and a Jonny May arrival after he was rumoured to be joining.wormus wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2017 11:04 pmYes Pakalani is registered for Europe but Jonah Holmes and Kitto are not registered.

As for Castres, I'd like to see Owen at 13, but realistically expect the squad to be the same (subject to knocks/injuries) bar the return to the bench of Shazam.
