Toulouse v Tigers

First topic message reminder :

What Leicester will need all available ooomph up front to confront the opposition.

And therein lies the problem with Croft, Parling, Salvi, Newby etc. all doing bit-parts in Casualty, you'd have to say the Tigers' chances are slim to say the least.

All that without the knowledge that Owens is the ref.

An LBP would be an outstanding performance.

lets see if the Waldrom at 7 experiment works out.

I have a feeling the ref will not be kind to us in this game.

flood is standing very deep.

Tigers will do well to stop kicking the ball to Tolouse as much.

Toulouse obstructing everywhere!

Flood unlucky to not get a try there, but Clement Poitrenaud puts in one of his usuals. The bloke is a liability.

To say the least.

First blood to Tigers at the scrum.

some good work by tigers at the minute but we need to turn it into points as at some point Toulouse will turn it on.

well offside there!!!

Toulouse are constantly offside, sort it out Owens!

nice to see the French fans buy in the whole rugby respect thing by being quite when the tigers take kicks.

Surely that clearly went back!

Scrum no.2 to the Tigers.

looks like he has his kicking boots on today

It still surprises me a little why there are many who wouldnt consider Jordan Crane for the England 8 spot.

He's tough, quality...and a Leader.
Is it just because he doesnt do all the razzmatazz stuff?

why isn't that a yellow card?

Youngs needs to calm it down. He's just a bit too frenetic, trying to do too much.

with the Toulouse pack at every breakdown he hasn't got much chance to calm it down.

You just get the feeling all the games between Tigers, Tououse and Ospreys will be tryless kickfests.

Owens isn't in control of the breakdown he's letting both teams geta way with murder.

if it's raining like this then yeah, probably will be as are most games of rugby.

hehe yellow!

Idiot, don't know why he is shaking his head. The home fans are unbelievable, how can you even begin to argue with the decision?

Toulouse have a BIG pack.

That's the French for you.

Come on Owens, it's clear they keep time wasting because they have someone in the bin!

it disgusts me with the amount of play acting the French teams do.

Owen has let them waste at least one and a half minutes. Terrible reffing

brilliant scrum there by the Tigers.

lovely kick too!

Great kick from Flood.

again, time wasting.

Jammy gits.

surely a tigers player was tackled with out the ball!!!

ah maybe not.
Good finish though!

that would explain some of the lack of offside calls, he couldn't hear his touch judges! lol

Whats the score lads? I dont have a stream of it.

What way are Toulouse time wasting.

Fairly even at HT I reckon. Tigers just need to show a bit more control in the second half and they will leave with something.

They seem to play better without the ball!!!

How much money and television contracts do the French and English clubs need before they are capable of something besides pure dross...

Dunno, ask Harlequins, Northampton and Saracens who all achieved try bonus point victories this round shall we?

DOD did you not see Quins hammer Biaritz yesrerday playing with a fast tempo pace and scoring trys for fun? Or Clermont run in 6 trys against the Scarlets or Sarries score some crackers? Obviosuly not or you woluldn't have come up with such a bonehead comment

ah come on guys, don't raise to it else this thread will descend into dross.

Whats the score??

11-9 to Toulouse.

Not the best of conditions so it's a pretty scrappy game with a fair few errors.

I know, it's just so...hard...to...resist! AGGGGHHHH!

Leicester have to get Manu on the ball much more in this half.
