Three international starters each, but outside the tight five an absolute gulf in both age and experience. And that was before Tigers offloaded a bench with six players aged 21 or under. Whilst there was some to criticize about how Tigers played, the youngsters generally exceeded expectation and 2 points is a fine return for such a young side.
The three internationals in the tight five were a bit of a let down, though. They were supposed to be the age and experience keeping the kids afloat and they were really lacking.
