We are playing a completely different game to every other team I have watched this weekend, kick kick kick kick, they all played fast running rugby with great passing and good hands.
Is SB regretting not picking Steward, im not impressed with our 15, hopefully he will show us his better side, eventually.

Just a quick question,why have Bath turned things around virtually overnight while we are still desperately struggling? 🤔

Some very experienced players making some basic errors ...... not seeing much difference or progress right now.

Ambition. It feels like we still don't have an identity.

is Steward injured?

When even Andy Goode is saying we've been getting the rough end of the whistle then you know there is a problem.

that said both Ford's need to sort themselves out, the defensive problems speak for themselves and we appointed a new attacking coach and we are yet to see any influence of him, if that means moving on Ford then we should do it as surely by now they are working on attacking patterns of play.


Finally some phase play put together and Nadolo scores in the corner

That's what Nadolo adds. Within the 22 he is lethal. Similar to Goneva in his prime.

The scoreline is flattering Tigers here. Still in it.

I'd like to see Wallace brought on at halftime for either Green or Lavanini. We need the breakdown work and line speed more than the extra lock currently IMO.

This one has probably gone already but what the hell is going on with the officiating? Neither try should have stood. Ah well. The sooner this season is over the better.
I saw Marika Vunibaka play

Well we aren't great but its really galling when officiating mistakes lead to two tries against you.

Probably limiting movement during COVID-19 issues.

Not a great half but Toulon have had all the ball and most of the decisions and haven't ran away with it, if we're within 10 going into the last 20 our match conditioning should come into play. Wouldn't put money on it mind but the games not gone yet.
