Match Thread: Tigers vs Quins

Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigers!!

Looking out of the window the weather is pretty dire, very windy and wet! lol

by formerly known as Sam Sat 11 May 2013, 2:39 pm

I don't think the rain is too heavy though the wind has been strong over the last few days. Ground is still very firm under foot or was when I went for my run this morning.

Yeah spotted them watering the pitch so I presume it wasn't that wet.

by formerly known as Sam Sat 11 May 2013, 2:46 pm

I say that and then the heavens open.

Very concerned about our lack of both Slater and Deacon, especially given the conditions.

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 2:48 pm

How have the quins forwards been in the last couple of games? I actually have no idea

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 3:09 pm

Flood not having the best starts to the game.

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 3:11 pm

I can see it's going to be one of those games with the ref blowing a lot.

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 3:17 pm

Those are the runs we need in aus by t. Youngs

by formerly known as Sam Sat 11 May 2013, 3:18 pm

Flood having a mare.

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 3:19 pm

Salvi being nullified by the ref.

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 3:20 pm

Blocking by quins 14

by formerly known as Sam Sat 11 May 2013, 3:22 pm

Nice to see on the scrum replay that Johnston was binding on the arm and driving across. Why isn't the touch judge helping the ref out on that call?

The ref is allowing both sides to seal off and is denying either side the chance to dog it out at the breakdown.

Manu has had one touch if the ball in 20 mins, we've got to get him the ball more than that.

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 3:24 pm

Hmmm, I know there was a knock on but wasn't care holding on whilst laying on his back.

by Manu's Boxing Coach Sat 11 May 2013, 3:25 pm

We've barely had the ball Sam. But if anyone else scrummaged like Johnston did they would be pinged at every scrum.

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 3:28 pm

Getting annoyed at quins players not rolling away.

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 3:29 pm

Bad kick by Evans but it is really windy there

by formerly known as Sam Sat 11 May 2013, 3:30 pm

We've seen Tait make more carries in the line than Manu. We need to get over the gain line early doors via Manu before we start looking for Tait.

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 3:31 pm

That turnover was exactly the same as salvi's that he got pinged for.

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 3:34 pm

Lovely tackle by croft.

At the moment I can't see us winning this.

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 3:38 pm

What was the pen for?

by formerly known as Sam Sat 11 May 2013, 3:39 pm

We're making awful errors but the ref is only looking to ref one team at the breakdown.

by thebluesmancometh Sat 11 May 2013, 3:41 pm

Gotta give it to Care, he has a nice platform from his pack but he's looking excellent!!

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 3:42 pm

Quins laying all over the ball yet again....

by Cumbrian Sat 11 May 2013, 3:42 pm

I wish they'd shut the hell up with the 'eye-balling' analogy. It was laboured to begin with, now it is getting irritating...

by formerly known as Sam Sat 11 May 2013, 3:43 pm

No yc for consecutive collapsed mauls less than 5m out. Don't think Brown's tackle was a deliberate knock on though.

It was a knock on disguised as a tackle - it was fine for me though

by BigTrevsbigmac Sat 11 May 2013, 3:47 pm

Quality attack through the hands by Quins there

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 3:49 pm

Get in there!!!

by Cumbrian Sat 11 May 2013, 3:49 pm

Quins will regret not getting the ball off the field when they had the chance there.

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 3:50 pm

The rain is about to hit Wexford road!

by thebluesmancometh Sat 11 May 2013, 3:51 pm

Quins stunned there, good try but Quins have been the better side at the breakdown and should be in front.

Gotta give Care his credit his cover defence has been excellent!!!

by formerly known as Sam Sat 11 May 2013, 3:51 pm

The number of Quins off their feet for the turnover before the try was outrageous. Can't complain as they were mostly still on the floor when we turned it over and scored. Great finish by Goneva.

He should of beat croft to the line though. A lot of quins breakdown down should of been pinged.

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 3:57 pm

Easter tackled a tigers player too in that not care try

by dragonbreath Sat 11 May 2013, 3:59 pm

Dan Cole getting yet another tuning. Overrated or what

Dragonbreath giving the welsh a bad name yet again.......

by formerly known as Sam Sat 11 May 2013, 4:06 pm

Not really, Tigers have only been pinged on Mulipola's side and that stopped once the ref saw it was down to Johnston's illegal scrummaging.

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 4:08 pm

Good decision by the refs.

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 4:17 pm

Better play by tigers.

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 4:18 pm

Loo, I do sometimes think Barnes would be better just not talking.

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 4:19 pm

I have a feeling botica will play a blinder

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 4:22 pm

Not tight at all, his arm raise before he's near making the tackle.

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 4:22 pm

Argh, we need flood to make the kicks!

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 4:23 pm

Push over?

Now why does that criticism have anything to do with him being Welsh???

Cole has started this second half excellently, but the reason he struggles in the scrum is Youngs size, watch how he gets turned in everytime, if Leicester had a decent hooker who could scrummage Cole would more than hold his own!

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 4:26 pm

Argh, quins defence well organised there

Give it a rest blue, you know exactly why judging by his other comments around the forums...

I'm not interested what he's said before, or where he's from, he's wrong about Cole who is playing awesome, but struggling in the scrum.

If he's wrong attack hi9m being wrong, don't attack his possible nation!!

You wouldn'nt agree with me calling you an arrogant Englishman for disagreeing with him would you?!

by nathan Sat 11 May 2013, 4:31 pm

Tait is showing some more good runs, it's good to see this from him again.

Your a million miles off, I always listen to peoples opinion. There certainly entitled to one, it's the tone of how it was said. Considering you wrote a whole thread about this same thing recently I'm sure you'll understand...
