you're right actually having seen the replay. my bad Very Happy

who was the bloke tackling Flood? seemed to stand off a bit which allowed the Leicester wing to attack the space...

I think we shall have to agree to disagree on the scrum, it looked to me to be collapsing because Bevvington wasn't getting his bind in.

by thebluesmancometh Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:03 pm

There we go, I actually think the Os shouldve been pinged at that scrum and Poite gives it to them?????

by eirebilly Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:04 pm

So do i bluesman but it may be their only choice Sad

by thebluesmancometh Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:04 pm

Kitchner beat the ball deep there Shocked

by Artful_Dodger Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:05 pm

Great kick from Biggar.

by nathan Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:05 pm

blues, you didnt catch the crossing by the Ospreys!! Poite just penalised the tigers for the same thing!

by thebluesmancometh Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:06 pm

The offside call was against Jones on the 10m line to the right, yet Poite is giving Leicester it central just out the 22?

by LoyalPoolaFan Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:07 pm

That was kind of poite to move the penalty 10m closer to the posts

by thebluesmancometh Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:07 pm

It wasn't crossing because they were retreating nathan, whereas the Leicester player was behind the player to start.

by Mad for Chelsea Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:07 pm

bizarre I'll give you that Shocked

I actually thought Tipuric should have been pinged for not releasing though, which was about where he gave the penalty.

13-13

by thebluesmancometh Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:08 pm

Tipuric was the guy who shouldve gained a pen had it not been an advantage, thats why they went back.

by thebluesmancometh Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:09 pm

Did Tipuric just make that tackle on youngs??? WOW

by eirebilly Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:09 pm

Tremendous break from Youngs clap

by thebluesmancometh Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:11 pm

Couldnt see that scrum but Poite giving nobody benefit of the doubt and just awarding the pen again.

by wales606 Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:11 pm

Adam Jones off with a knee injury.

by nathan Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:11 pm

Jones is about to come on for Bevington then, will it stop the penalties?

by thebluesmancometh Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:11 pm

Infact have we seen a completed scrum yet???

by Mad for Chelsea Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:12 pm

one senses Poite is getting frustrated with the scrum, just blowing penalty after penalty...

by nathan Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:12 pm

if he's pinged them that much already he's not going to give them the benefit of doubt.

by nathan Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:13 pm

Ospreys are being idiots here, they need to sort it out else they will get another player in the bin.

by thebluesmancometh Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:14 pm

He should, we're taught that what has happened previously, and reputations mean nothing and each scrum is it's own seperate entity!

He seems to have his back up now and is disliking anything Ospreys!

by eirebilly Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:14 pm

This is getting ridiculous

by LoyalPoolaFan Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:14 pm

I thought the ref yesterday for the scarlets game was bad, but poite just seems to toss a coin every scrum

Leicester now on a roll. Playing with aggression, pursuit of ball and winning the critical encounters.

How many Tigers players playing today have held that particular trophy?

i don't understand what that has to do with anything? Do you think a club changes when each new player comes in or a player leaves?

So it makes Pot Hales lowlife dig irrelevant then. Which was my point.

by thebluesmancometh Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:15 pm

Ospreys have annoyed Poite quite obviously.

lowlife dig, really?

by Mad for Chelsea Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:15 pm

it's simple though: if the ref is shouting "leave it white, leave it!" and they don't then they'll be pinged (whether he's right or not is irrelevant).

by nathan Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:17 pm

good to see Deacon back. What's happening to Ospreys lineout?

That's what I said. Are you dull?

by eirebilly Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:17 pm

Tigers are turning the screw now. The O's are gone now i feel.

by thebluesmancometh Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:18 pm

Your spot on Chelsea.

Cole couldve been pinged for fighting for the ball while on his knees/side, but he wasn't and the Ospreys are just playing like a team who are fighting the ref instead of working him onside.

Walking Flood into kicking distance was harsh on Hibbards flick of the ball, but when a refs not onside you have to be whiter than white.

Oh and Poite cant be blamed for a pathetic lineout

by thebluesmancometh Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:19 pm

There we go Poite just pinged Leicester at that scrum = not one completed!!

by nathan Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:19 pm

a single try from the Ospreys could change the game.

by thebluesmancometh Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:20 pm

Wheres it going to come from though nathan?!?!?!

by Mad for Chelsea Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:21 pm

I think I'm changing my mind over the way Poite is reffing the scrum Very Happy

by nathan Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:22 pm

grrrr, Waldrom is always dropping the god damn ball!!!!

by wales606 Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:23 pm

Eli Walker has improved his game a lot. He is no longer a liability on the field based on the last 2 games.

by thebluesmancometh Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:23 pm

Uh oh scrum time in Leicster 22 = someones penalty!

by wales606 Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:24 pm

thebluesmancometh wrote:Wheres it going to come from though nathan?!?!?!

Ashley Beck if you want a try from nowhere, or based on current form, from Biggars kicking.

by nathan Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:25 pm

Poite got it right!!

by wales606 Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:25 pm

thebluesmancometh wrote:Uh oh scrum time in Leicster 22 = someones penalty!

Yep, an Ospreys one.

by thebluesmancometh Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:26 pm

Told you, O's penalty to tie the game!!! And a warning? Poite you need to warn yourself it's your fault the front rows are collapsing!!!

Did crane just ask Poite how he wanted them to scrummage? Laugh

CLASSIC!

by kingjohn7 Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:26 pm

"talking o him clearly" yeah, clear as mud

by Artful_Dodger Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:26 pm

Should of been yellow for Ayerza as it was for Jarvis in the first half.

by wales606 Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:26 pm

Dan Biggar need to play for Wales a lot more...

Bevington. Then you would be correct.

come on, surely not rolling away?

by eirebilly Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:27 pm

Well, this game may not be over yet...

by thebluesmancometh Sun 21 Oct 2012, 4:27 pm

Ospreys defence line has quickened up and is causing problems.
