That was a fine turnover.
God this is a shit backline. Worth has done some things but doesn't have the acceleration to get away.

How excited did you get when Harrison emerged from that maul with the ball?
Had hoped to see more hair swishing as he cantered towards the try line

Nothing in that. Pen is the correct decision.

Technically it’s at least a yellow but common sense says it was an innocuous swipe and they’re all big boys.
J Ford found his level in the Champ.

Yeh he is highly rated so not surpised.
Quite similar to Ben Youngs when he first hit the scene but has a more sympathetic pass.

Nothing against Tigers resting so many. Its a bit of a gamble and could potentially backfire, but giving young/fringe players a chance isnt the worst thing to do. Its not as if the "1st XV" have been tearing it up.
Irrespective of the result, MOC should give most of this team another run out next week at home.
what's backfiring in this case?
ah, this is what you meant. Though I guess its another nail in the latest regimes coffin

Tigers need to rip of the bandaid fast now, would start a thread with a big rant from the top down but don't want to bore people.

i gave up watching shortly after h/t. But feel sympathy for the players who were basically sent out on a wing and a prayer. That side was not selected nor properly prepared to contest the fixture. They really did look like a scratch side put together at the last minute. Players and supporters deserve better. They should be selected again next week for the final home tie but i bet they wont.

I was at the game ........ I think, but must have dropped off after Castres scored a try after 47 seconds!
