Deserved, we’re giving penalties away every couple of minutes at this rate!
Yep we had been warned

He’s never looked 100% since coming back from injury. Hopefully preseason sorts him out.

Saints are NEVER clear releasing in the tackle. Tigers need to do the same

How on earth is this only 10-6? Saints also butcher a walk in.

Feeling like their bench could be the difference if the scoreline stays close until then.

Good game of rugby so far

saints looking as if they could be dangerous if we give them half a chance. Our basic errors are keeping them in the game though

2 butchered walk ins, too many basic errors, lots of flying saints players at the breakdown being missed, seen a few high tackles let go too.. should be out of sight but hanging on to a slender 4 point lead.. game should have been put to bed.. will it prove costly?

If we can cut out our penalties we are frustrating them and can capitalise. Need the bench to step up as Freeman and Smith will boost their decision making and impetus in the second half.

If we can keep it tight and niggly we can come out of this with some needed points

To many dumb ass penalties giving Saints all their points. Steward and Shillcock both butchering golden try scoring opportunities. We must convert our chances it's become a habit to blow them

Great game so far indeed, but its clear we've both got to make a step change this next half - but we're still in this...

Well, we are playing like we did against Leinster in the first half - on top on both terratory and possession, but not taking our chances. We are playing well otherwise, but this is shocking.

I think sir is generally having a good game, but a couple of decisions especially in the breakdown have cost us, maybe influenced by the crowd. Luckily the heldup try wasn't affected by the crowd.
