Tigers vs Falcons

[Roly]

I didn't see the match or watch highlights, so can only go on what people have said on here.

A very good result and as I said previously, I think I'm happier with a convincing away win at Falcons than I was about a home win v Chiefs. That's a pretty handy Falcons outfit.

It was important to get the win, going into the LV break on a loss would have had a big influence on continuity. Onwards and upwards, even I'm starting to feel optimistic....

Still, was that another try bonus point gone begging?.

Yes unfortunately it was. I watched the whole match on the Bet365 stream and it was a good performance, (a great performance from Ford) but we had 4 or 5 golden opportunities to score another try and fluffed it. Nevertheless the win and the momentum is the main thing, we are looking very good, even the lineout worked well yesterday and the scrum was in command.

Taste of the action

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

A Rémy and now "a nice Fronton"!! Steady, Dai!

All done in the best possible taste. A bottle of Bellevue le foret shared over a late lunch watching the Bath game. Possibly posh Richard was calming the Gloucester nerve. Then a post dinner Remy to toast the victories. Very civilised if you ask me.

Have to agree that the bonus point try was there to be taken and missed yet again. Hope these missed points don't come back to bite us. You can't fault the effort or the set piece - line out was much better and we had their scrum on toast at times - neither can you fault the backs. If Veainu's try is not a try of the season contender my dinkie doo is a kipper. Well done guys

Well that spoilt my breakfast. lol

Worth watching the highlights here https://www.premiershiprugby.com/match-highlights/. Would love to see more but a good “taster”.

Veainu’s try must be try of the round if not more!! If nominated, is this some sort of record? Can’t ever remember Tigers getting as many try of week nominations as we have this year.

I seem to remember in MOC's last season before he went to Leinster (12/13?) we won try of the week nearly every week (Mainly because we had the most fans voting)

Pretty tries are nice, but try bonus points are better.

Looking forward to watching the game this afternoon, especially Tait and Dosser's Lad in the centres. From what I have read in the papers Tait did a good job at 12 in distribution with Ford?

Thought "that try" at home last season was easily sufficient for him to win last season and he beat some five players then I believe?

I love the bewildered expression on Alex Tait's face as Veainu leaves standing as a spectator

Perfect surface for Veainu to step players at pace. It makes a huge difference to quick ball and back play moves.

All rosey at present but we need a plan B for the winter ahead.

Not quite sure if manu’s and owen’s progress but Tait and smith will need to be rotated in the months to come. More physicality needed along the way, but most impressed with recent displays. Especially old man Tait at 15, 13 and now 12 over 3 games.

Ford, total class.....

[strawclearer]

Just watched the highlights. Match-winning moment for me was Tait saving the Goneva try at 13-17 by getting underneath him. Would have put the Falcons ahead by 3 at a crucial stage.

Wouldn't have been disappointed to see Mat Tait go to France a couple of years ago but he's been invaluable ever since!

I think our centres showed they still have plenty of skill and appetite for the game, no fears when they take the field, consummate professionals.
