[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Yeh Thrush is out injured shame he is a very very good lock.

So excited.

[TRF_Olyy]

God I've missed the prem <3

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Veainu is brilliant.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I've definitely not missed the kingsholm crowd, jeeze.


Also, for all this talk of Mauger being some visionary, Tigers' attack seems to be "Give it to manu and hope for the best" or "Give it to Veainu and hope for the best"

Those eeyore so bloody grating.

It was the same last season as well, though.
Could just be their "fire" move, keep it simple when their pack's on the back foot.


Also, as an aside, is it true what the commentary were saying at the start that Mauger wants Tigers to have a lightweight pack/their backrow mincing about out wide?
Pretty crazy when you consider it's Tigers, and their reputation/history of a brutal pack.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Great try.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Gloucester looking real good on attack

Tuilagi's defence is leaving a lot to be desired so far :/
Hopefully just some rust from not playing for a while.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Hate rugby.

Manu needs alot of work playing @ 12 in defence.

Prob why Higginbotham rumour makes alot of sense.

ftfy

 

[SelimNiai]

Glos on fire, playing with pace, flair and some cutting edge. Tigers just cant keep the ball long enough to threaten

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Glos playing so much better this year. Last year their attack was painfully dull. Very exciting this year.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves, fellas.... this is Gloucester; and this is Leicester.

Glos can't be trusted.

And Leicester can be trusted to improve following a slow start.

 

[Maverick1987]

Matt Tait has had a horrible start to the season . He's been primarily at fault for 17 points minimum ......

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Doooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

 

[ratsapprentice]

Great step from Purdy.

 

[Maverick1987]

How many time do you have to lose ball on attacking play and concede points .....

 

[j'nuh]

Goddamn, I was not expecting this.
