3rd January 2021 v Bath

[WhitecapTiger]

Only gripe was no TBP

Agreed, but only because we chucked a chance away at the end.

Great character shown by the guys, not perfect but some really good performances, most already mentioned.

Steward going from strength to strength. Wiese is a ball carrying beast.

Walters' influence on fitness paying real dividends now and clear(er) to see.

Bring on Saints, ever so slightly more optimistic now!

[chewbacca]

Good comeback from a disastrous start. Wiese is immense.

[Robespierre]

No gripes at all from me! That was an important gutsy win!

[JP14]

sorry but Redpath looks at taute and pushes him might not have had much force but still.

It’s very marginal, I think the incident happens regardless of whether Redpath touches Taute or not.

[TigerFeetSteve]

Massive win on the back of only 2 or so training sessions together, few things rusty but huge huge win!

[JP14]

How good was Wells, great take for his try then had two sensational turnovers in the air for the lineout.

I don’t think Barnes was bad, the neutral in me was glad he penalised us for sealing off when no other ref would have done, and apart from failing to ping Watson for playing the ball in the ruck can’t grumble much.

More than happy with a win. On paper you'd have said Bath all day - thankfully, games aren't played on paper.

Steward outshone his international capped opponent, Wiese was immense. Underhill was largely anonymous, which is testament to the work of our back row.

So much better but so much to improve on. We're just a win from the top four.

[mol2]

Well, that was a turn around.
Rustiness explained going 14 down but we played some good rugby to come back. Wiese, Ford and Steward immense. The latter a bolter for the Lions?

[Scott1]

Tbf Underhill never has a good game for Bath. He’s very much a TMA

[anz3001]

Honestly take out the Irish game and we have been really good this season so far IMO.

And what’s more, it doesn’t feel like we’re anywhere near the finished article. Promising.

[MCC1964]

Great to see Dallaglio having to eat humble pie on BT Sport. Vociferous in his criticism of our kicking game tactic at half time. Much as I dislike it when it’s done badly (kicking) I thought he was a touch too aggressive in his opinion, albeit true to form when commenting onTigers. He was almost choking when he said it appeared to be the right tactics in the end and was executed well.

[ads]

Cracking game. Great to the boys not panic and come away with the win.
Rustiness due to covid at the start but they dug in there and played some decent rugby. Even when it was close at the the end with so many young lads on they stuck in there and did what they needed to.
TBP would have been great, but I'm well pleased with the manor of the win.

[Pundit]

A good win; they're beginning to play as a team. But, one thing they must improve on is not allowing their opponents to gather the restart in Tigers' half. It happens too often, and puts them straight back under pressure.

[longlivethecrumbie]

Just to add, I thought that JvP did really well when he came on. His delivery and speed of delivery were both excellent and his speed to the base was really good too.

Yes, I expect a certain young Mr White may be a tad worried.
