Seems to be making a positive move and has got the forwards working much harder over the last three games. Let's just hope that this continues. The Wasps game will be a big test as Wasps seem to have recovered their mojo over the last two games. :smt007

Really? In the post match interview Dai Young seemed to imply that Irish were the better team last weekend.
Tigers for the premiership and European Cup. Get behind the team and make some noise!!

They were. Unforced errors cost them the game and reduced the pressure on the Wuss

So in the LM, Tom Youngs says "he feels that there were no major problems in the way Tigers forwards were playing before Bakewell arrived, it was just a matter of improving a couple of key issues."

Really!! No major problems :smt017

“That’s the story of the season,” he said. “It hasn’t been a massive thing but it has just been those five-per-cents here and there and they add up. Bakes has come in with his experience. He knows the English game because he has coached at Bath and Bristol and he understands what he has to do and what a pack looks like. That is very important.

IMO it has been a massive thing, as it has shown up til now!! Keep cracking that whip MB!! :smt079
