Amusing, but amusement tempered somewhat by knowing we're next...

We'll probably give it a lash and score some comedy tries and concede some comedy tries. We always do better than I expect against the big French sides away from home - no pressure, just jouer jouer I guess. Little chance of victory, and we may well cop a hiding anyway.

I reckon you’ll lose, but something like 50-30

Tigers gonna lose by lots. No Martin or Chessum and we have been rubbish recently. Leinster by 40 points.

Think I did. Tigers have way less talent though and been shite recently. They lost at home to Gloucester. I did like the leinster player picking the ball up when clearly on the ground.

Easier than the taranaki girls u9s.

Good slowing down from leinster in that defensive set.

They're trying to be even handed & positive, as otherwise everyone complains about them being bias

That's all she wrote. I get that Doris is hugely rated but the times I've been able to see both of them play, Conan has always impressed me far more. Hell of a player.

Tigers had their chances and certainly haven't been blown away.

Bias is when a (usually Irish) commentator bitches about a decision going against an Irish team.

Calling out crap play is good commentary and no-one does that any more. They all try to be positive 100% of the time. Bring back BCM!!!

Leicester have given this a fair crack but have been inaccurate. The interception was a killer. The refereeing has been comically one sided, exceptionally frustrating to watch

They are failing at the latter and the positive shit is just inane or outright dumb.

They beat the spread, which given the players they are missing is pretty good, but they still look like they expect the coach to shout at them when the get the ball out to the fast guys in space, & don't just run into contact & recycle.

Munster with a quality response. This is a great match already.

Edit: running at Dingwall is always going to bear fruit. Bad missed tackle given what the rest of the team is doing

Okay I admire the desire to put the ball through the hands but someone should've put the foot through that one given it was an entire back line of slow forwards
