Tigers v Bath (A) - 11th November 2022 - KO 19:45

That wasn't the moment to chuck Hurd in. That'll take some recovering from for him.

He'll improve - van Wyk won't.

Potter was excellent in his last outing at centre and was decent today.

Van Wyk did win us a penalty in fairness

Only one he's won all season! Look at how many he's been pinged for

[kpj tiger]

There’s no one on the bench to replace Potter.

Cokanaisga is a 13

Fair enough but I don’t see how changing Potter wins us the game.

I just meant players having bad games stayed on and yet Cole got hooked off at a crucial point in the game, I know he's more likely to be tired but we've played 1 game in 3 weeks it shouldn't be to bad

[longlivethecrumbie]

The try shouldn't have stood. Bath player taking out the guard at the breakdown in midfield. If you have a tmo to look at things on video then use it!

Didn't the ref say to check the possibility of an off-the-ball tackle and then nothing happened - no-one looked at it and it was as clear as any decision needed to be made.

Wasn't just my hearing then!

Butchered 2 tries - not decent in my opinion

[Ian Cant]

Why take off Cronin and Cole? Then the scrum imploded because as nice a bloke Van Wyk is he just cannot scrummage? Where is Whitcombe!
Still considering how many had out it was a bonus point.
What a difference to last season: losing games we should have won at Exeter and Bath.
Well tried lads.
Irish is now a must win or we will have too much to make up to get into the top 4.
Great kick to the corner at the end by their bloke and what signings those Worcester lads are.
Well done Charlie Atkinson: two great takes under the high ball.

He did - but winding it back what's not clear is if he is talking about the bath clear out or the tigers clear out in the next phase.

Yes he did. Foley is so inconsistent, to the point of being dreadful. Was clearly the illegal Bath tackle

[Greenwhiteandred]

Let’s talk scrum dominance !!!

Let’s - we had it for much of the game and weren’t rewarded for it by dodgy reffing. Have you played prop ….. again I ask

First line in the team briefing should always be, "play the ref out of the game". That should be underlined when Foley has the whistle or Rose is in the truck, double underlined if both...

Hard at scrum time when they are folding and you are getting nothing - makes a big difference to the outcome of the game

[Greenwhiteandred]

I still question some of the substitution timings, I get that Hurd isn't going to get better without gametime but the scrum collapsed when he came on and yet you have Potter having a shocker stays on all game

There’s no one on the bench to replace Potter.

Cokanaisga is a 13

And Potter was playing 13 so your point is ????

[tigerssteve]

Yet again we didn't manage the game. 2 minutes to go, in possession. Bath should never have seen that ball again. Just like Exeter, we kick it back to them. Just stupid. That'stwo losses wjich should have been wins. All the chat about refs and TMO's is nonsense. We gave the game away with poor game management. Simple.

[Scuttle]

We were so annoying but the whole of the commentary team were against us, calling out every time there was any coming together and Austin Healey should be ashamed of his bias against us. Little man with a massive chip on his shoulder against Tigers.

The worst was the BT bloke. Anythin decent that Bath did it was brilliant, anything decent we did, we just did.

[nicmattyg]

There’s not really any excuses, we should have seen that game out comfortably.

I’m genuinely worried for us this season based on that performance

[Ian Cant]

Agree about Potter. He is a very good player but I hate it when players smile and laugh as he did not just the first but second missed try too!
Hopefully he will realise that sadly not converting one of the chances cost us the game.
To be fair the Bath bench summed up the international period: we lose Porter they get Hastings and the other Scotland lad back: experience told. Need Ladygaga back too.

And yet we put ourselves into positions to score so many times and butchered it...

No relegation this season, remain calm
