[Puja]

Ilione back fit is a massive boost for us. Good to see Williams given a go on the flank - I'm really not sure what to think of Moro yet, so I'm happy to see the youngster given a try. Bailey at 12 will be fun - be keen to see how he goes.

I do worry how much better their starting backrow is than ours. The subs should help even things out a touch but no Liebenburg and Reffell is definitely a blow.

Moro is think is an unpolished diamond. Runs great lines, athletic, not scared to put it about physically. Needs to work on his bits in the tight and polish up some of his skills but lots of positives for someone who's in his first season at this level.

I didn't even realise baily was at tigers.

[twitchy]

Tigers looking great. Sarries a bit lethargic.

[FKAS]

Will Wand giving the coaches a bit of a nudge that now back fit he should be ahead of Perese in selection.

Tigers hunger was questioned by Parling last weekend, particularly for the first 30 mins Vs Exeter. They've come out looking fired up for this one.

Sarries just do seem a bit lethargic, Twitchy is right. Mark is likely to give them a kick up the backside for the second half. Tigers are winning the kicking battle and the territory on the back of it.

[charlesdeboeuf]

Ilione's first carry in the tight post-injury and he's made strong metreage straight through Tom Willis. Lovely stuff.

Ilione looked in great shape. Strong in the carry and a menace at the opposition breakdown. Really good to see.

[Captainhaircut]

Bailey, Wand and Ilione were all excellent. Chessum played really well too.

Sarries massively underperforming. A side with that pack should be much better than they are.

Malins on the wing is dreadful, he looks so slow nowadays. Daly also lost a lot of pace and looks very rusty currently, add in a scrum half with no running game and Tompkins at 12 and you have an average backline.

With Calouri, Bracken, Hall and Elliott coming through, McCall is going to have to be cut throat which I’m not sure is a particular strength of his.

[fivepointer]

Bracken really needs to get the starting SH gig.

[FKAS]

The Sarries back three really was dire and key to them losing the kicking battle. So little chase outside of Segun. Daly's only notable impacts were him being a bell end, leading the charge for dodgy hits in Searle and Malins looked pedestrian.

Tigers looked hungry and the centres were two players who seemed desperate to show that they should be playing more regularly. No idea why Wand was subbed, he was excellent and key in defence. A massive pest. Young Sam Williams had a good first Prem start, Ilione looked like he was desperate to show the England coaches he should be straight back in. Lots of positives though the discipline and conceding four tries will more than slightly annoy Parling.

[Epaminondas Pules]

Great result. Bailey superb! Even being mixed up with Wand constantly by the commentators. Wand also excellent. Overall very sharp! Ilione looked really good when he came on and kudos to Williams on a decent first start!

yeah I noticed that as well.
