scrum again, draw a yellow

must have heard me lol

gifting the game away

billy still wants to be a tiger

fantastic effort

TBH, Ealing could easily have won that, had Billy kicked his goals and not given a late interception away. Even then, pass looked a tad forward. Unlucky.

Yes. Their front row deserved to win that.

Pleased with that. It’s kind of hard to like Ealing. It’s just throwing cash at promotion. A lot of other clubs are not fans of their. They could’ve won that, but are still a distance away really.

Will Goodrick-Clarke was easily the best prop on show, there's no chance he'll be in the Championship next season. Ridiculous no one bigger snapped him up before now.

Tigers really weren't that good and it looked like their squad players were still on holiday. That backrow didn't work (again). The younger guys showed up better. I'd start Edwards and Ilione for the final and hope Hurd is fit enough to return.

Their board are really nice guys. You have to throw money at it to have any chance of getting into the prem- whether you should is another question.

The facilities they have built are fantastic- they would add to the stands at the far end to get themselves to Prem Standard if they thought that promotion and sustaining was realistic.

On another note Mercer and Atkinson made an absolute mockery of their non selection for even the A side.

And maybe, just maybe, Coka will actually get a chance to play!

Glad you mentioned it. Watched the game today and Atkinson was excellent, both in attack and defence.

But never doubted it.

Liking the cut of Englefield’s jib. Mercer just quality.
