Tigers 22 - 6 Worcester HT

Tigers well up but once again leaving points out there in a dominant first half. Worcester have two men in the bin but are currently up on points for that period.

Hopefully Tigers can avoid the dive in performance from 40-70 minute that we've seen a few times this season.

I'm lacking a stream for this one but we seem to be all over them. Wuss has two yellow cards at the end of the first half.

Dean needs sacked now

You keep saying it GF but it doesn't seem like Kundi is listening.

Please wait until after Saints play Falcons again?

What were Sale thinking there - turn the ball over on their 5m line and try to play out and give up a try ... just dumb

I don't think it is making a lot of difference.

True - although on another day Quins could have come back from there ...

Quins completely outgunned. A tough day at the office for them.

Good to see Quirke and Manu back playing. Quirke could well slot in against Italy, Manu might need a few more games before his return.

Oh Quins.

Not a good weekend really.

Worked out OK for me - got a Grand Slam on Superbru (sorry)

Saints had an almost perfect weekend. Didn't surrender a point. Didn't lose.

Oddly that doesn't help how I feel about it...
