You mean consistently sh*t? I'm really not convinced that's enough.

Especially considering he let Willemse spend an age on the floor blocking the scrum half at the preceeding ruck
I agree. I think early doors he favoured Quins but after that it just became a joke at the breakdown with the outcome for either side random.
Ironically that's how we view French refs most of the time

He was fine. I've got no skin in the game.

Lee needs to be offed (along with a load of the old guard) at ASM. Has done nothing for 2 and a half seasons now.

Tigers fans, what's the deal with Matt Scott, injured or just not making the team at the moment?

Abysmal by the TMO. How do you miss that neck tackle?

Kelly is starter at 12. Scott is rotated. Borthwick seems to rotate some positions regardless of the match.

Not good at all by the officials. 7 points to Tigers from a turnover from the most blatant of high tackles.

{EDIT} Oh. It's another Irish official (TMO) :problem:

Cheers, Scott seems to have started in Leicester's 3 previous Euro Cup games this season and in 11 out of his 15 league appearances. He seems to be favoured at 13 - there were reams of pages on the Edinburgh forum over whether he was best at 12 or 13, personally I always saw him as a 12

Certainly looked forward as the passing action looked wrong.

It's worse when you look at it again. He's practically standing still and just chucks it forward to someone who takes it yards in front of Parra, despite it being a short pass. Amazed it was missed.

I normally like this Georgian ref but his support is letting him down miserably.

Steward has everything to be a FB........ except he's slower than any intl backrow. Can't really see a future at the top when you are so cripplingly slow.

Would really love to know what Kayser REALLY thinks about this ASM coaching team.

MOC is a journeyman's journeyman. Fofana was finished 3 seasons ago.

Think reffell still has the choice for Wales or England.

Kayser playing the team card "MOC is a fantastic winger". Errr....... no. He's really sh*t.

There's a reason he's had more clubs than a pack of cards.

It's also a matter of the players available. The club has massively cut on salaries and is struggling to attract and retain talents


When you think that we are getting Belleau and Plisson at 10 next year :sad:

Clermont so devoid of idea and organization in attack.

Leicester defense is excellent though.

Feels like a fairly important passage in the game and very much advantage Tigers after holding out.

Belleau makes some sense. Have to get someone at FH. Plisson :lolno:

BTW, I know the Carbonel exit is controversial but if ASM had their pick, why TF would you go for Belleau who has turned into a big flake. Repeatedly booed by the RCT fans.

And that passage followed by some repeatedly awful high passing by Parra ends in......... failure.
