Sarries clueless so far, dire tackling + only attacking ploy bar poor box kicks is 'give it to Billy' (which isn't working).
Aled Davies is pants, and Youngs bar a kadabbi has used fast ball well.
We are giving him options and decent ball speed so he can pick go and select his runners. That's where Youngs is at his best. We've mixed up playing off 9 and 10 this season but so far this game it's been heavily off 9. Working so far.

I'm surprised they haven't run the Tigers around more. Try to get that backline blowing and test the discipline.
Tigers looked a bit tired at the end of the first half then and Sarries grabbed a try. Slightly concerning going into the second half.
they have looked handy when moving it, but davies is poor and Goode looks a bit baffled. Billy has made some decent yards but scrappy after- sarries d poor surprisingly in the backs. Brown, Wiese, Martin, Youngs very good.

options always created when continually getting through the tackle line-good physicality.

Martin has had a big first half. Not highlight reel stuff (the hit on Billy aside), but he’s been very effective. Just hope he can stay fit. He’s an absolute nailed on international 6 for me if he stays fit.

That’s brilliant from Mike Brown. Knows to allow Segun to drive to hold him up rather than repel him. Tell his fellow defenders to get everyone in the same page!

I wonder if the TMO will wake up and start assisting Foley with the neck rolls he keeps missing. Two in the last five mins, player safety who cares.
Tigers look knackered. Going to be a tough final 20 mins.

The lack of consistency from the ref is killing me! I am also one eyed, but it does feel like Sarries are getting away with what we were being pinged for.
