Completely agree. Having lost our first 2 games, to get a convincing win up there is fantastic. The lack of a tbp is unfortunate but for people to be complaining is deluded.
Anglo Welsh and international window to get players back and refreshed and then back at it.

As an aside as we were playing our 4th and 5th choice centres today how did Tait and Dossers lad do


Tait and Smith played very well. Tait did a passable impression of Toomua with some of his distribution.

Seemed like Veainu stepped into the 13 channel in attack.

Very professional performance. Ford is a real class act.

Deano: "George Ford was man of the match. Their forwards controlled the game, controlled the line-outs and he pulled the strings."

How long have we waited for a rival coach to say that - and how sweet does it sound?! Fantastic!

So back for a warm up away to Wasps then starting against Munster away? If so,I think we can manage in the meantime and will be great to have back for the double-header

Two old Tigers putting the nail in the Bath coffin. Nice feeling. Posh Richard and I partook of a nice Fronton.

Certainly Ford pulls the strings in a way Freddie couldn't.

However I still think Freddie is a classy player who found himself trying to spark a team that looked less than the sum of it's individuals and played like they had no game plan, a reliance on the old Tigers way (which simply no longer worked) and shattered confidence.

The defeats by Bath and Saints seem to have galvanised the team into playing with the structure O'Connor intended and some of the old Tigers "dog".
