Every single time his team makes ground, whether it's Leicester or England, Youngs will either throw a high pass that kills momentum and gets the receiver wrapped up or he'll throw the ball along the floor.

Great hit from Kruis. Illegal block from Brits and then an awful pass from Goode.

Who kicked that through?
Williams....I thought it may have been Youngs.
Tuilagi off.
Already a mountain to climb for Tigers.

You've got to admire Leicester's ambition but it's as naive now as it was prior to Xmas.

That kick was never on from Williams and had been telegraphed by the fact he's done twice before in the recent past
Manu off injured - hope not too bad England's sake and his
Absolute mountain to climb here for tigers. The whole game is being played in their half. Sarries look comfortable, a few attractive breaks aside

Nice bit of eye candy behind Cockerill.

Tigers look lost. Playing a lot of rugby with no one getting to the breakdowns, if they're going to not attend their own breakdowns they'd do a lot better to kick the ball away. Not sure if this is Tigers trying to keep their shape, but given the shape isn't always there anyway it might be more about they've not played for a few weeks, that and Sarries are a better team.

Promising attack to desperate defence in seconds.

No way Tigers are getting are out of this, especially not with the way they're playing. They look all over the place. Sarries are an outstanding side but that third try looked way, way too easy.
Sarries game management and forward play is on a totally different level to Leicester's.
Very disappointed they didn't put up more of a fist of it to be honest

Saracens showing why they are the best team in Europe.
Tigers score that first try and things might of been different but ATM we just are not good enough against teams like Sarries and Racing

They've made some linbreaks, and then bar the early disallowed score done nothing with it.WaspInWales wrote:Promising attack to desperate defence in seconds.

Obligatory high tackle from Farrell, not one of his specials.

Leicester, and Williams in particular, are like headless chickens.

I've never been a Williams fan, looks much too easy to read for a defence it seems to me in addition to not being the most fluidMellsblue wrote:Leicester, and Williams in particular, are like headless chickens.

Tait jogging along sideways there waiting for someone to try and run and incisive line, to no avail, kind of sums Tigers up there.
Does Youngs genuinely believe that going one phase left, one phase right, one phase left, one phase right etc. actually troubles anyone?
