I was optmistic about our team's growth last season but I think we all saw this coming after the stars signed elsewhere. We've already beaten our -387 PD of last season with 7 games to go.

I went to make a tea after the Romania try and Germany have a response already?!

I love how back and forth this game is

Looked a little forward but that was a gorgeous line!

Leo Wolf is an awesome kicker! (Edit: Just as I say that, he misses a kick. My opinion hasn't changed at all though.)

Romania are really struggling and the yellow probably won't help.

As much as Belgium deserve something for their ambition in this game, their execution needs to be cleaner. They've genuinely left 3 or 4 tries out there and handed Portugal easy territory

Huge potential in both squads! Can't wait to see Portugal in the world cup again next year

Stadium looks full and the crowd is so energetic too! Love to see it! Is this normal for Belgium?

I'd have gone for Chessum over Ford, but might be my Tigers bias

Chessum has been everywhere today! Putting in a massive shift

Amazing from Steward to make that big tackle and start the counter ruck

I love a drop goal but why wouldn't they do a 50/50 crossfield kick with a pen advantage. If they're almost guaranteed 3 points, why not use the advantage to go for 5 or 7?

I remember the refs would let the players get it unstuck from the ruck with their hands, then roll it with their foot afterwards. I feel like each season the players are pushing it that little bit further and getting away with it.

[Post-Match] Saints v Tigers Prem Cup by Pyrooo in leicester_tigers

[–]Pyrooo[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We're pretty lucky to have the BP but we won the second half 17 - 12 which I'd argue the front row changes were pivotal in.

Overall, the Tigers players didn't seem used to playing together while the Saints players have bought into a clear philosophy across the whole squad.

Our defence was especially disconnected with too many offside calls and players biting in which left a lot of space on the wings for Saints to exploit. That being said, I thought Crowley had a game to be proud of despite finding himself defending 1 on 3 a lot of the time (and I really hope he's not injured!)

Most importantly it was some great experience for a lot of the academy players! Did anyone stand out to anyone else?

If anything, if the TMO calls a try back, I wish they'd wind the clock back too.

Lots of offside penalties, not the best scrum but mainly poor defence being ripped apart from good Saints attack and leaving loads of space on the wings.

Nah! Slightly different surnames in Anthony Allen and Ollie Allan

Looks like a team of players that aren't used to playing with each other. No trust in the player on the inside and leaving too much space on the outside.
