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?

Ref and TMO intervention annoying, but to focus on them being the problem is just avoiding the issue. A lot of people were thinking this would be a game Tigers could and should win before the game started. There has to come a point where the coaching team (what is left of them) have to be judged purely on the results on the pitch.

I know Ian Tempest is quite clearly clinging to his thinning hair and Faf de Klerk has beautiful flowing locks but the love in with Faf earlier was just sickening....

So you think the tactics are working
Have we had territory and possession? Yes lots. Have we had plenty of lineout drives in their 22? Yes many. Phases in their 22? Yes lots.

At some point you have to point the finger at the players for not being clinical enough and taking their chances.
Watching a different game to me I’m afraid so we are never going to agree. I don’t see much 22 penetration - I see us getting 30 metres out and continually kicking to the Nadolo vs McGuigan wing. Although to be fair I turned over at 60 mins as I put dinner on the table as the Mrs won’t eat dinner whilst I watch rugby/swear at the TV :smt018. Having said that - for the first 60 mins we could have done so much more with our possession.
Your tactics get you into the final third and then you look to your set piece and your half backs to finish the job and get points on the board. Our half backs were awful and we weren't able to bully them up front and score multiple rolling mauls.

You can not like the tactics because they are risk averse and kick heavy but they have given us a lot of opportunities we have not capitalised on.

Nearly a fantastic finale I'm which we showed more attacking enterprise than we did for the rest of the game.

Interesting the second try came when the backs ran the move without the flyhalf. JVP straight to Scott.
