Black Lions match

[TigerFeetSteve]

Not a bad start! How’s it playing out?

I'm not there only following it on the matchday live. Satala off for a HIA though also.
Theobald-Thomas with our try

You and me both then! Apologies thought you were there TFS! Sounds like Wilkinson is playing well so far too along with Allan.

Kinder also!!!

Side note, Van der Flier scores again for Nottingham.

Really hope he gets some minutes next season!

He’s sounded impressive, wheels and strong in contact (attack and defence).

[Darc Tiger]

Great effort so far. Really impressed by our physicality from the first whistle. Really taking it to them.

[RagingBull]

If this is the future I’m pretty excited tbh.

Can see why they retrained some players over others

[Lutontiger]

Considering it’s boys versus men we’re doing very well. They’re defending well - some of the tackles are excellent in anticipation and execution.

[RunTigerRun]

Whilst the original match ups looked a stark contrast, it sounds as though the young cubs are showing why they are getting the opportunity.

Hope we reward form and give these guys more chances next year!

Two touchline conversions for Wilkinson and it sounds like he's playing well. Glad he's getting a chance, he looked good at Sale and is better than just making up the numbers.

[TigerFeetSteve]

Illione taken off at half time. I wonder if that may be due to protecting him for a possible appearance next week

Agreed Sam - hope he gets a run in the 10 shirt in the cup early season whilst Polly is away. Wilkinson at 10 with Shillcock at 15 would be a nice pairing imo

[Lutontiger]

Ilione rubbing the back of his thigh. So think he’s doubtful for next week

Carnduff & Whitcombe both off early as well, possibly being saved as well? I hope that we aren’t taking off the ‘experience’ too soon.

[RunTigerRun]

Another rolling maul try to FTT and by the sounds of it in testing conditions, another sublime touchline conversion by Wilkinson.

21:8 around 15 to go

Hopkinson on the bench who's come on for Carnduff has been playing Championship rugby for Doncaster and is 23.

Full Time Tigers win 21 13, lions with a try in the 80th minute
