I was hoping it was going to be as one sided as the first 25 mins throughout.

Was nice to see Tigers play some offloading and attacking rugby at times. Been missing for large parts of this season.

Disappointed with two things. The first was the incompetent TMO who missed five (that I counted) neck rolls in the second half including three in which Tigers players complained to the referee and one which left Reffell requiring treatment. Disgraceful performance, no interest in player safety. Second was the decision at the end to just kick it out. Completely brainless decision from the Tigers leadership group. Take the three and deny the LBP or kick to the corner and roll the dice.

Haven't seen the match yet - re the TMO, there's someone else as bad as Ms H?

Sir and TMO just didn't police neck rolls. In the other departments they were fine. When a player is holding his neck and needing treatment having been dragged out a ruck by his neck there should be a review. Just makes talk of player safety ridiculous.
