You want to see the team sheets these days, to see who is fit to take the field. Then again, not all the surprises so far are down to injury lists. All these matches probably have favourites but, with the possible exception of Bath against Worcester, the season results so far mean we shouldn't be surprised to see th e other team come out on top.

The first pen would have ruled out the 2nd though ...

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 15:09

Won't make any difference though as I can see loads more tries coming from this poor defence already Crying or Very sad

They generally picked up in then 2nd half though

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 15:12

After it's too late

Looking like it might be a long afternoon for Irish. Thought Owen was signed as an LV squad player? Along with Harrison been very impressive.

by nathan on Sat 7 Oct - 15:23

Owen looks handy

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 15:23

This defence is appalling ...

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 15:25

Get Tiks off and put Fowlie on ...

by nathan on Sat 7 Oct - 15:27

Fairly sure you can't slap the ball out of the 9s hands

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 15:28

Ask Neil Back

Is he playing then?

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 15:30

Might as well be Smile

by nathan on Sat 7 Oct - 15:32

How on earth is that not a turnover by toomua?

by Scottrf on Sat 7 Oct - 15:33

Cobus Reinach is rapid.

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 15:35

I think JP thought he'd got the ball before it was over the line and then it was touched down ... not sure tbh

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 15:36

Sums it up though - all that and still no score

by nathan on Sat 7 Oct - 15:37

It was prior to that.
Wuss ahead of bath

by B91212 on Sat 7 Oct - 15:37

How are Saints going Scottrf? Only got the Irish game over here.

by nathan on Sat 7 Oct - 15:37

Should check that

by nathan on Sat 7 Oct - 15:39

Shame, he's been doing well so far

Still with a chance in this game. If you play well in the 2nd half and you are not far behind.

Had the better of it. Couple of strong breaks, ahead in territory. Looking quite inventive I'd say.

Couple of big IFS there

by nathan on Sat 7 Oct - 15:45

We've had a lot of disruption though

by B91212 on Sat 7 Oct - 15:47

Great, thanks Scott. I was a little worried with Horne missing.

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 15:48

And yet with all that and an extra man we still messed it up on the line ...

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 15:56

In fact I think it was harder not to score than score at the end there ....

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 16:01

If we'd gone in at 8-14 or 10-14 then maybe we would have had a chance but I think we've blown it now Rolling Eyes

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 16:04

What did I say - why the F can the coaches not see Tiks shouldn't be on the pitch !!!!!

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 16:06

Game over - no points again - now have to hope Bath paste Worcester

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 16:08

Posts - really?

by Scottrf on Sat 7 Oct - 16:08

Tuala with a few nice steps and a well timed pass for a Mallinder try.

And cough it up. Defence not at the races.

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 16:18

About time

by B91212 on Sat 7 Oct - 16:21

Cowan has been one of the few Irish players who have looked prem class today. I can't believe it's currently only a 7 point game after that first half.

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 16:24

Which bit of 2 leave it is difficult to understand ???

by B91212 on Sat 7 Oct - 16:26

What is David Paice doing? Doyle couldn't have been clearer about leaving it. Stupid play and led to a try. Just what Irish needed from their captain.

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 16:26

And a try follows from the stupid stupid penalty ... hopeless

by Welly on Sat 7 Oct - 16:26

May is on such a roll.

by Welly on Sat 7 Oct - 16:27

Toomua long pass to Wing seems to be the way to score for Tigers.

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 16:28

Should have checked the pass though

by Scottrf on Sat 7 Oct - 16:29

Looks like a win for Gloucester. Our defence non existent.

by nathan on Sat 7 Oct - 16:34

8 point game then

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 16:35

Bet we still manage to come away with nothing ...

by Mad for Chelsea on Sat 7 Oct - 16:36

Listening on BBC Berkshire. Gordon Reid must be the last impartial pundit I've ever come across. Makes Jiffy look balanced Very Happy

cowpat decision

by nathan on Sat 7 Oct - 16:38

Hands on the floor first and wasn't holding on long enough

by Heaf2 on Sat 7 Oct - 16:39

To be fair he's been letting Tigers clear out from the side quite a bit too ...

by Fuzzy Dunlop on Sat 7 Oct - 16:44

Worst performance of the season so far tbh.
