Can someone tell Bishop to stop kicking and just give the ball to Biggar!

Is the BBC score sheet accurate? Crane scored a penalty?

this could well be going down hill for the Tigers, handling errors again from the Tigers.

lol, no he didnt.

Nobody has been a more than a score ahead, so this game has always been up for grabs.

Sadly not.

This game is swinging back and forth now, it's dangerous.

Flood going for it? Fair play!!!

eek, ,what's that 60m?

57.5

I would love to see Biggar's tackle and turnover stats for this game

Please explain how a TH who scrummages legally can pop up?

He can still be popped by the opposition Hooker and LH together

great kick by Flood.

cracking pen

Lovely use of the wind from flood, dont try too hard just straighten it up and let the wind do the job, beautifull!!!

Jesus, brilliant kick

This is going to go to the wire, Ospreys have the LBP I think but they will really want a win or draw in this pool.

my word what a strike that was!

CJ

Not from the waste he can't and not when he pops up and they stay down in position!

Something said by the Ospreys now

Bishop is not having a good game

When it went to 19-13 for the Tigers, it looked over. For the record, the O's led by 10 points early in the match, thats more than a score

Cracking kick from Flood

Silly by the ospreys there

ffs, was that Biggar?

You'd think Tigers are 50 points up with the way Barnes keeps talking about how amazing they are.

O's have been stupid a few times today, talking back to the ref gets you nowhere...

Stupidity from the O's - give Leicester a penalty for backchat and gave them 10m on a penalty earlier which made it kickable for flood.

6pts from stupid backchat.

*correction, 3pts, but it could have been 6

not too sure. who ever it was they were lucky flood missed

Silly from Leicester, 2 men just throwing themselves over that ruck

fair play by Poite there.

get in there!!!

"It keeps the Ospreys in draw range"

Does he not know what a try is, or does he not realise it is worth more than a 3pt penalty?

Rookie error, listening to anything Barnes says

Nice try from Flood, glad he scored that and we're not talking about the ref handing Leicester the game!!!

too true!!

Stupid stupid stupid. Intercept try is the one thing that costs them a LBP :/

Leave the diving to Ashton!

Well, he played 10 for England, so no, probably not

On the plus side the Os won a lineout, but would have been better to lose it

well the first try was a lovely score, this is just opportunistic, but well read, and good pace from Flood.

game over?

IDIOT IDIOT IDIOT

Leave those kinds of passes to James Hook.

Biggar is back . He can kiss Wales selection goodbye.

kingjohn7 wrote:On the plus side the Os won a lineout, but would have been better to lose it

or maybe not..

And thats why Biggar doesn't play in red, his distribution isn't good enough and he offers no threat to the opposing midfeild, if he did Flood wouldnt have dared come out.

As long as 1/2p is in the team RP is nailed on.

Fair play, Biggar looking to make amends

this is the tigers we're talking about so it won't be game over.

Its all about a LBP now. Come on O's

Well Toby is certainly man of the match.....

Ospreys ...well the name Bishop comes to my mind.

Biggar does pose a threat in midfield, he often makes breaks and made a fair few last week
