SUNDAY 28TH FEBRUARY 2016
13:00 Exeter v's Bath
15:00 Leicester v's London Irish
15:15 Wasps v's Harlequins

Ok, so some great match up's and it's not all about Sale and Saracen's, where it just so happens two great great 10's will be doing their thing.

Looks like 6 home wins this weekend

Not unless Cipriani can knock over the kicks. He is at about 15% since he announced his departure from Sale.

Oh and chances of a Tigers win tomorrow - 20%

by Heaf Sat Feb 27, 2016 1:51 pm

Nice try LT - I wish I could believe that

by kingelderfield Sat Feb 27, 2016 2:24 pm

Sale 17 (3 tries) to 7 (1 try) after 20 mins

by kingelderfield Sat Feb 27, 2016 2:37 pm

17 - 15 32mins

by kingelderfield Sat Feb 27, 2016 2:50 pm

17 - 22 at the half

by kingelderfield Sat Feb 27, 2016 3:56 pm

Full time 36 all, 5 tries each.

Hodgson caught Brown's hip in a tackle being replaced by Mort and Cipriani struggled again with converting their tries.

by **Rugby Fan** Sat Feb 27, 2016 4:01 pm

Cipriani had the last kick of the game to win it for Sale but, given his terrible kicking form at the moment, I don't think anyone really thought he'd get it.

by **LondonTiger** Sat Feb 27, 2016 5:04 pm

Cipriani et al failed to control the territory in the second half. Strong wind behind Sale and they should have been camped in the Sarries half - but some really poor tactical kicking. They also turned dow easy kicks at goal to go for the corner.

by Geordie Sat Feb 27, 2016 6:49 pm

And that's why I'm not getting carried away with our recent run.

Brought back own to earth with a bump!

No Robinson and no Latu. That's got to take something out of your pack,especially when away from home.

It didn't help that Goode's corset snapped before the game forcing him to withdraw.

If it's any consolation the first 40 was probably the best of Glaws' season. Some excellent attacking play and in the last 10 of the half the defence was outstanding as Falcons were camped in our 22.

He has been borrowing David Hasselhof's, however the Hof called it back as he tries to crash the Oscars.

Very funny HKC, that did make me laugh.

By the by anyone needing an antidote to watching to much 6N's should catch yesterday's highlights Sharks/Sorries on the Aviva site. 10 tries with both sides giving it a go.

by **LondonTiger** Sun Feb 28, 2016 3:21 pm

LI fans will be hoping. BROPHY-Clews and Geraghty are using up all their bad kicks in practice. Crane had a long chat with Shane.

by **LondonTiger** Sun Feb 28, 2016 3:40 pm

OTY out. Thacker starts. VavVuuren on bench. Smith replaced by Niki on bench.

by Heaf Sun Feb 28, 2016 3:42 pm

Just heard Symons is out - Irish injury crisis continues to get worse. Now we have zero of the locks that we started the season with available ...

by Welly Sun Feb 28, 2016 4:05 pm

Try tigers Thompstone 3 mins in

Burns misses the extras.

by Welly Sun Feb 28, 2016 4:18 pm

What a try by Harry Thacker excellent pickup and run in.

12 - 3 Tigers

by Welly Sun Feb 28, 2016 4:24 pm

Why did Narraway take a quick tap penalty and then kick it away?

by Welly Sun Feb 28, 2016 4:35 pm

McCaffrey scoring Tigers 3rd try.

19 - 3

by Welly Sun Feb 28, 2016 4:36 pm

Manu nails Cowan.

Ouch.

by nathan Sun Feb 28, 2016 4:37 pm

Is it on to?

by Welly Sun Feb 28, 2016 4:38 pm

TV no

by nathan Sun Feb 28, 2016 4:39 pm

365 or dodgy stream?

by Welly Sun Feb 28, 2016 4:40 pm

Will be on 365.

by **Rugby Fan** Sun Feb 28, 2016 4:42 pm

Wonder what the longest a Premiership club game between top sides has gone 0-0. 21 minutes between Wasps & Quins.

EDIT: Score for Wasps after 22 minutes.

by Welly Sun Feb 28, 2016 4:44 pm

Lol Thacker went right through the middle of an Irish maul..

by Welly Sun Feb 28, 2016 4:45 pm

Tigers TBP Kitto

Burns is having a great game so far.

by **LondonTiger** Sun Feb 28, 2016 4:47 pm

Well, not sure what to say about that half. The LI players should be embarrassed.

by Welly Sun Feb 28, 2016 4:48 pm

Yep.

But tigers are playing a better game plan now.

Thompstone and JDV straightening well, which is something we lack against Quins, Sale and Falcons.

Thacker is a hell of an player talent wise.

by formerly known as Sam Sun Feb 28, 2016 4:59 pm

Thompstone has made a massive difference to our back line. Very direct ball in hand and physical in defence. Manu rampaging around well.

by **LondonTiger** Sun Feb 28, 2016 4:59 pm

Thacker has been incredible. We need to find a way of playing him.

by Heaf Sun Feb 28, 2016 5:06 pm

LI are dreadful away for some reason - although I do wonder how we get a knock on advantage and seconds later get penalised having made zero ground (from what I've heard - didn't see it myself as watching another match).

by nathan Sun Feb 28, 2016 5:13 pm

Where have our handling skills come from?

by Welly Sun Feb 28, 2016 5:13 pm

Try 5 after some pretty nice offloading by 5 Tigers players.

I wonder why that happened does a penalty cancel out a knock advantage?

In any case Irish fans cannot blame the ref here.

Defence is shocking.

by Welly Sun Feb 28, 2016 5:17 pm

nearly try number 6 but forward pass.

by Heaf Sun Feb 28, 2016 5:18 pm

No it doesn't (unless it's foul play potentially) it's just bad reffing ... but yes, no excuses, our defence seems to go missing when we play away for some reason ... no idea why unfortunately

by nathan Sun Feb 28, 2016 5:19 pm

How's slater been going at 8?

by Welly Sun Feb 28, 2016 5:20 pm

TBH just playing his normal game, not many attacking scrums for us.

by Welly Sun Feb 28, 2016 5:20 pm

Irish finally get a try Paice.

by Heaf Sun Feb 28, 2016 5:21 pm

little consolation Sad

by Welly Sun Feb 28, 2016 5:33 pm

Try number 6th by Jean De Villiers.

by nathan Sun Feb 28, 2016 5:37 pm

Some nice feet by thompstone

by Welly Sun Feb 28, 2016 5:37 pm

Tigers 7th try thompstone looking back to his best speed wise.

by Welly Sun Feb 28, 2016 5:40 pm

oh FFS Irish try.

by nathan Sun Feb 28, 2016 5:40 pm

Nice set move by irish
