Such a shame.. Wiese doesn’t go in for that clear out and we’d be out of sight now and probably looking towards the BP. What a different second half we are now in for!

Yes, I agree. It’s going to cause a few more red cards too until players modify their behaviour, but it’s something that has to be done if we want to have a sport to watch moving forward....much as I like ‘the good all days’.JP14 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 3:52 pm You know what, good on the officials, the breakdown has been a mess for far too long because of a lack of proper officiation and the laws have always been there they just need to be implemented. Cards do change player behaviour, there’s a dangerous amount of tucked shoulders flying into the rucks on the moment. Good spot from the TMO and a clear red card.

100% red..... But how come our backs get pinged for encroachching whilst the Wasps midfield live off side. One bloke ran past the ruck before the ball was out. Ping the beggar!

Have to say I was a little disappointed not to see JvP start but in this situation we definitely have the right 9 on the field

I hope we don't start to subs too soon, these current guys are so strong we don't want to weaken side.

Re: 20th Feb 2021 - Home vs Wasps
According to the stats we have conceded the least points out of all teams while playing a man down. Long way to go but the 15 min we have played so far has been 3-0 to usMoose wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 3:59 pmBut what an achievement and statement if we put in a massive shift and win!OakhamTiger32 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 3:55 pm Such a shame..

I wonder if at some point we'll see Borthwick take a back off for Reffell

Re: 20th Feb 2021 - Home vs Wasps
Time to get behind the team. My head says we won’t win this as we’ve lost our best player, Wasps will simply stretch us around the flanks. BUT my heart thinks that they are starting to show the guts and never say die of a Tiger team of old and you don’t want to fight a proper Tiger in a corner! If they can frustrate Wasps, stay tight and keep Wasps pinned back we have a chance
