Tries in the first half from Clare, followed by two from Cracknell & finally one from Cronin

All converted by the king of Leicester
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Half time, Jersey 5 - 28 Tigers...

Jersey's defense started very well. I think everybody obviously seems rusty, and our backs aren't firing that well yet. IMHO our forwards look strong and our tries have all (I think) come from either mauls or forwards running from rucks and mauls.

I agree with RB - both Cracknell and Cokansiga look strong runners. Cokangsiga's defence needs a little work, I think.

It is good to see Watson in a Tigers' shirt.

I am looking forward to seeing Shelley in the second half.

Thanks Pellsy lots of new combinations in the backs, so no surprise. Sounds similar game plan to last season mauling and strong runners

Tigers said lots of changes in the second half and then never told us who had come on... Can't watch it, so can anyone more informed tell me who was substituted?

Cronin is listed for the second half, someone injured?

Interesting to see when they're both on that they played this way round. May suggest who is more likely to play where more going forward

IMHO this is because Shelley has more pace and appears to tackle well, and I think Muri will be used as Nadolo's replacement, at least playing his role...

Cheeky to ask I know, but is anyone who watched the game able to give a bit of a overview on how each player looked?

Sounded like it was a bit rusty overall but lots of guys stuck their hands up!

Certainly him and Saumaki are the closest we have to Nadolo

I’d think the last thing SB would want to do is tip his hand at this stage if the year. So, tactics and combinations may mean nothing as an indication of future intent
In my defence, I was left unsupervised….

Excellent point more about getting minutes in the legs. More of a step up expected v Falcons next week
