Looks like a fire drill at Franklin's Gardens...

[Jimmy Skitz]

Chessum could be a wing

that's one way or replacing Nemzy ...

now Steward does score

Offload from Ashton looked a bit sus to me

backwards, just.

Big Phil playing himself into a starting birth, could be this seasons Porter ...

Steward hattrick

New signings showing up well, Cracknell and Cokanasiga especially

[Jimmy Skitz]

Cracknell could replace Tommy Turnover should he be forced to go home quite comfortably

[Postiger2]

Superb second half performance. Well done lads

Dallaglio said something on the lines of "it's all unravelled horribly for Northampton". Now, I'm not saying schadenfreude is anything other than an ugly emotion, but I am not entirely unsmug.

The scrum has been immense. One of the things I have really enjoyed about this game is that Tigers have built and built as the game has gone on. That's the mark of a good team, to grow through a match and to cope coming from a significant deficit in the early game.

This. Cokanasiga looks impressive as hell.

[LittleBigG]

Classy: booing at the gardens

[CJ]

Superb. Great performance. And brilliant to see Dan Cole recognised as man of the match - the scrum set it all up. Agree about Cokanasiga. What a signing.

[Dangerous4]

Go Tigers, go.

[DeadlyDunc]

Love it. Marmalized them up front.

Not sure Dickson will be welcome in Northampton anytime soon and although I’ll admit there were a few 50/50 calls our way their scrum was so far in a hole everything tends to follow.

I will miss Nemzy so much when he goes back to Oz, he is key to us in attack

[Jimmy Skitz]

thought JvP had a really good game and I like having Ben come on fresh against tiring defence, its the way I would look to go going forward, Chessum and Martin just down stop, Old man Cole showing he is still the best tighthead in the country.

Burns, a few poor Crossfield kicks and the intercept aside ran the game well, Gopparth as a 12 doesn't suit us but he is still a quality 10, Cockanasiga really looks quality, I'd start him or Porter at 12 until Kelly can return.

Freddie Steward is just a class above, literally when the ball is in the air, that take from the restart when he charged forward was vital

[ads]

Wow, what a result. Can't wait to watch it. We're all the yellows deserved?

[Offside]

Cynical me: "accidentally" fumble it do they have to go down to 12

Yes but they have the put in to an uncontested scrum so back row move gives us no real advantage until we get the ball.
