All Tigers fans should buy this guy a drink, he was immense, a true Tiger, just a great pity it might relegate the Falcons..... but shows Fordshould be England No 10, Farrell 12, Slade 13... Manu a long long way to go...

Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.

Immense. We have been critical of some signings but however signed Guy then take a bow alongside him. A leader and a real Tiger.

I would not be surprised if Denton decides to retire.

Wouldn't be surprised if we have someone lined up to come in that should be starting at 8 either.
Regardless of Denton situation.

I dont get emotional very often but Thompson was crucial beyond belief for us tonight.

I still dont think we will see too much of Denton next year.

Or Manu after this match, that looked like another hamstring issue to me.

Thompson and BOC were great at the end there. Well done lads

Yes and me,Kala is a a very good 6/8 cover option and important in certain games but shouldn't be our frontline 8.

For me Kalamafoni has always looked like a 6 who can cover 8.

He had a fine game - a back row player playing in the back row.

Williams and Fitzgerald are utility 2nd/back row players. OK on the bench to give flexibility but not starting players.

I would have him as captain, certainly when Ford is on England duty.

Quite a good tactical decision to keep BOC on the bench, so at the end of what was probably going to be a tight game we had two opensides on the field, one of whom was still relatively fresh.

It’s almost like the coaches know what they’re doing when it comes to selection!
