Tigers v Stade Francais (A) - Champions Cup - Sunday 17th December 2023 - KO:5-30pm

[Bristol Tiger]

Actually think the ref is doing a decent job. He wouldn’t have carded Atkinson if it wasn’t for the TMO - and rather ref talked it down to a yellow (TMO wanted red).

Clearly I’m not so enamoured by the TMO - only looking for infringements from Tigers …

Team playing well overall. Mike Brown good at coaching but not great play (his penalty led to the spell with Stade in our 2s and eventually their try). Team also a little disjoint - but no surprise given this group of players probably only played asa team in training this week.(and even then we had two changes before kickoff).

Hoping we can keep this up in the second half.

… ok maybe not oh hum

Unfortunately Brown is now too slow to be a winger in such circumstances ..

Brown had no option but to hold his ground….well worked try from Stade

[Dokie]

And that’s why you don’t play Brown on the wing!

French director desperately trying to slow everything down in the hope of some foul play

Hold his ground? He looked static!

Probably agree that none of our wi ger would have caught him, maybe only
Watson, but Brown was skinned like a prop would have been.

Our 6 should have been helping there.

Ref's almost baiting players into giving pens away

Including a wee bag snatch

[KiwiTig]

That’s a killer! The forwards create all that and we give the ball away !! GRRR!

Why on earth did we not take the 3 in front of the posts

[kpj tiger]

Also curious you could clearly see the players look at the sideline for instructions rather than Hanro choosing

No Montoya

[daktari]

Ref is random Ronnie as to when the ball is out
