Surprised to see Radwan and OHC play. I mean if you’re going to sack off the game you may as well do it properly.

Lack of fit wingers. Hamer-Webb is out until the new year, no sign of Kinder so far this season after an op in the summer. I suppose Ryan Crowley could have been included if he's fit but that would have been quite a raw back three.

[Epaminondas Pules]

He’s just pinged Haffar for walking round the outside. Next scrum and La Rochelle do exactly the same thing and it’s their penalty again!

Brace is an absolute joke!

The man's been stealing a living for years.

Tigers lineout has been appalling. Parling will be fuming.

The scrum is a farce, La Rochelle tighthead not even pretending to push straight and being rewarded repeatedly.

Tigers don't have the physicality up front. Too much average level talent. Archie van der Flier has at least improved on Haffar's limp effort.
