We didn't deserve to win that game, but neither did Toulon and if the game had been officiated fairly its entirely possible that they didn't deserve to win a little bit more than we didn't...

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?

Wow....no words for the officiating....just stunned. Nearly as bad as our kicking game. Attacking shape though the best it’s been. Some green shoots there. Scott, Liebenberg....very good.we don’t give up either.

I notice those that only post when we're losing are back then...
Not quite up to it tonight. Ford's kicking was awful and some of the decisions were, well I'm not going to say biased but....

To be fair they’re probably here more than the ones who posts only when we’re winning

Re: Toulon v Tigers - Challenge Cup Semi
The issue is appallingly biased officiating, we weren’t great but you can’t expect to win a match with that standard of biased reffing. ERC need to seriously look at this as it brings the game into disrepute. The first 2 French tries should have been scratched - it wasn’t a ref mistake ( which I’m fine with, it happens) - they were wilful decisions not to check.

I’m banking on Ford getting back up after this but that was dire from our No.10. Jones will not be impressed, especially when there are other English No.10s playing so well in the Prem.

Re: Toulon v Tigers - Challenge Cup Semi
My thoughts exactly! We were very poor but given that their first 2 tries should have been penalties to us their 20-11 should have been 11-6 to us.. the better team on balance won but you can’t help but think had a decent referee been in charge then maybe things might have been different. Shame..
