Potter deserves that, good support play from him, he’s hungry looking for work.

We defend extremely narrow which puts a lot of pressure on 13 and wingers to make right decisions, when we have our B,C or D players out the defensive decisions are not working and opposition teams are finding width far too easily

Great play from Henry and Potter there

What I like to see from a winger. Looking to make a half break something more and not standing waiting for someone to gift wrap a chance for him. More of that please.

Awful throw by Clare at the five metre lineout. That's inexcusable and the kind of error that has killed us in attack for the last two seasons.

If I’m Hardwick I’m fuming at being dragged there when Olowofela stayed on

Well, it's Gloucs' record for points in a half. I think the coaches have to call the second half a re-set, ie assume it is back to 0-0 and go from there. If Tigers can avoid losing the second half then that is something.

Yeah, that was a rotten 40mins from Olowofela. He’s struggling badly with Premiership Rugby.

Olowofela looks totally out of sorts and a complete waste in defence. I think he’s had his chances, rotate him. JVP’s service is slow and his kicking game too erratic, Porter looks absent. Take these three off and we might have a game!

Yeah but it’s not. That is sort of the point

Only 87% tackle success - which doesn’t include the times where no attempt was made to tackle!

Absolutely, certainly the score doesn't matter, just the performance of the new combinations...

oh...well
No, not that one!

Remember, whatever you do to the smallest of the backs you do to his prop, and you can't avoid the rucks and mauls forever...

I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

Everyone saying we need patience as Borthenstein has just taken up the reigns but how long has Skivington been at Gloucester :smt017
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

Not really.
You can't really expect backs to keep you in a game like this.

We have a massive lock at 6 and a 6/8 at 7.
We don't have the back row for a fast game and our tight 5 are not controlling it to create a slow game
