scarlets vs tigers

First topic message reminder :

Anyone watching?

Was that cheap shot 3

This is getting painful to watch! As Cockers says, is it too much to ask for a bit of accuracy.

We are going to get hammered by Toulon

what a strange game. wouldnt normally expect tigers to be gifting 2 tries. would have expected scarlets backs to create 2 tries.

dont worry nathan, everyone gets hammered by toulon when they are up for it.

it's like a competition to see who can make the most errors

Wonder when we'll learn to hold on to the ball in the tackle

Poor Brad Thorn must be wondering which club he's heard about all these years.

Still enough time if we can get the next score but it's feeling more doubtful with every infuriating error.

They've forgotten how to play with ball in hand because they've been doing nothing but kick it away. Feels like this is it in Europe this year.

God we are crap today.

 Good points

 - Lineout has been spotless
 - Balmain is ever improving in the scrum.

this breakdown is a complete farce. players are completely confused so doing whatever they like as muppet has been so inconsistent.

is benjamin being paid by scarlets?

Poopie Poopie Poopie ref, there was a player clearly laying all over the ball

Scarlets must win this game, tigers are poor in this so many mistakes, can someone shoot Healey.

would be happy to do the honours glam

These Scrums are just taking the p!ss now. Everyone cheating.

Continually playing on the floor, the ref is possibly the worst ref in the world. He's almost as bad as the tigers

worst game i've seen in years. error rate has got to be up there with the highest ever seen in a top tier euro match.

both tries came from huge errors too!

woeful both teams. marginally less woeful in the forward in open play by scarlets.

 Ref has been awful but lucky for him we have been worse.

 This weekend has only confirmed that no one will be in the 2 highest runners up of the CC.

scarlets won. 5 cheapshots - zero. congrats. what an advert for the game.

They be shsking hands in 20s

If only this had happened in the first minute. Could have made a much better match.

and the gormless twit ref does absolutely nothing.

bad refs lead to bad blood between teams as everyone starts cheating and tempers boil.

who the f was that ref? i have a stream on silent in order to avoid healey's commentary

is it no longer a requirement for tacklers to release the tackled player (or be on their feet) before playing the ball? Bizarre reffing performance you have to say.

Scarlets excellent in defense, Tigers just awful, unable to string two phases together. Well done Scarlets, well deserved win. Leicester with some serious thinking to do.

Not Lacey's best game but Tigers can habe no complaints. Scarlets should have won by more but they couldn't land the kicks.

Very well done Scarlets.

there was nothing well done in that match. not either side. not the reffing. not the basics. not the kicking. not the decision making.

at least now i know not to tune in for any more of either sides matches in europe

That looked like the first game of the season, well done Scarlets considering the injuries during the game.

The ref performance was woeful, worst ive seen in a long time. But don't think I'm taking anything away from tigers woeful performance.

Well done scarlets!

Truth of the matter us both teams looked poor imo, Leicester were shocking but the fact is Scarlets could only score through our crapness (god now I know how Ulster felt in the first half last weekend).

 Ref was shocking Scarlets got away with so much, but we were just so poor.

 And it wasn't the structure it was the bloody simple things.

This ref is good compared with Clancy

The scarlets got skinned by the ref last week so if the ref was more empathetic towards them this week then fine by me.

Seems like the Jeff supporters lead by their usual mouthpiece on here are increasing the whinge decibels by a considerable amount

Glam, cant believe that for a second!!

Me-109, take it you didn't actually watch the game else you wouldn't of written that crap!

Pool of death more like Toulon and the pool of crap.

Congratulations to Scarlets for finding a way to a home win under big pressure from some terribly timed injuries.

A woeful game decided by which side made the less monstrous number of errors. As a Tigers fan I can't help but feel that this may be another very disappointing year in Europe. Simply can't afford to make that volume of simple errors if we want to challenge the best, even with the cavalry we have to return latter in the season.

Well done Scarlets

I felt the game was won in the contact area, Scarlets seemed to win that. Tigers looked particularly soft which is uncharacteristic for them. I also think they were bordering on a YC early in the first half when they continued to commit offences in their 22 when Scarlets were on the attack. Luckily for them they didn't even get a warning and Scarlets missed all the kicks.

Counted one cheap-shot btw, the one on Tait. The one on Youngs was fair. If you stand near a ruck, expect to get rucked. If you're going to listen to Healey, then chances are you aren't going to look at the game with an impartial view.

Thought we deserved our win and left plenty of points out there but neither side will get out of the group on that showing.

I have just come back from a parrell universe where we scored that try in the first half.

 The confidence that brought led Benjamin to catch that dreaded ball and keep hold of it followed by some great awareness by Williams which put Goneva into space for a 80M try.

 Scarlets where heart broken and Tigers scored 4 more tries.

 anyway time for some more special medicine I have ben given by the doc.

How we won that i will never know, Tigers lying all over the ball ,boring in at the scrum ,high tackles all unpunished .
Well done Scarlets to rise above it and stick to defending hard and forcing errors.

Also noticed some posters saying how poor Scarlets must be by only capitalizing from Tigers mistakes! you are having a laugh, Leinster do it all the time and they are called clinical.

Tigers were awful. Gifted Scarlets two tries, made so many errors (a good proportion of which were under little pressure) and all of this whilst controlling the set piece battle. Just woefully bad execution.

Congratulations Scarlets. You were ruthless at the right times.

Well done Scarlets to get away with it and the ref allowing it to happen and not even having to force errors.

 Fixed it for you considering you listed everything Scarlets did.


 And scarlets were poor a better team would have gotten a TBP and scored some tries of there own.

True, scarlets were poor and could have created and scored some tries of our own but we were more than good enough to beat the tigers tonight even with some dodgy ref decision in the tigers favour

A Scarlets make shift team may i add.

 1st point I agree

 2nd point utter BS.

Which part? That we were more than good enough to beat you or the dodgy ref decisions?

the 1st point was on Scarlets being better than us.

 2nd point the ref was so in your favour.

I wish, he missed a load out there tonight, to be fair he missed a load for both sides but he definitely didn't favour us.

He was a league homer.

 He Loves you.

 In fact I have here a email he wrote to scarlets earlier today:

 Dear Scarlets

 I love you so much today I will give you a free pass ticket where you can do, what you want, when you want on who you want. For you are amazing and hopefully one day when you are ready we can live together.

 Looking forward to see you again.
 Forever yours

 P.S. Give Liam Williams and extra special hug from me.

 

Phew, I'm glad we've finally found a ref that loves us, I was starting to think we were unloveable and not to mention the fact I was jealous as hell that all the refs we have usually love our opposition
