The Good, the Bad, and the.....

A new way to look at the game, starting with the exciting 36 - 29 victory to Wasps on February 15th. Perhaps you can best decide what the ugly was ?

The Bad – Four consecutive defeats to Wasps

Poor discipline leading to 5 Cipriani penalties

Blocking penalty in front of the posts from the re-start to give Cipriani his first penalty

Awful lineout (1 of many) from Chuter leading to Robinson’s break, and Betsen’s try, and Cipriani’s conversion

Alex and Leos scrap, in which Alex may have been unlucky to be yellow carded, and Leo maybe lucky to not have been red carded. We await any citing offficer decision

With Alex off, Wasps Bishay cruised over for an easy try in the space created

Two more instances of poor discipline give Cipriani 2 more penalties, and move Wasps clear again, just before half-time

Under pressure Tigers are undone by the wiley Betsen who holds Woods off to prevent a try saving tackle, and Hart scores another try for Wasps, who now look out of sight

Lots of knock-ons and loose ball keeps Tigers out of the game

Uncontested scrums appear in yet another Waps game

More indiscipline, including Ayerza on Cipriani, and another penalty for Wasps to pull away once more

The Good – Tigers most ambitious rugby of the season so far

Taking an early lead with Scott Hamilton’s 40m try

Vesty scored a brilliant individual try, and Dupuys conversion kept Tigers in the game

Webber’s sin-binning gives Tigers a glimmer of hope

Crane powers over to score and give Tigers just a faint hope

Wasps look for their fourth try in the dying moments, but Tigers come up with the ball, Youngs breaks, and passes to Murphy who scores the fourth try, Vesty making the pressure conversion, despite some unsporting attempts by Wasps to put him off, and earning 2 bonus points for Tigers
