Another awful decision from Dickson. Fixture of the game so far. At least he's incompetent for both sides.

Bath dominated large portions of that first half and Tigers held them out very well. Tigers either need to be far more clinical or start dominating territory and possession like Bath have done.

well yes. They also need to sort out set piece. That said, with all the dross still 6 points up.Which Tyler wrote: ↑Sat Jun 14, 2025 3:51 pmNerves.
We need half time and a calming talk from JvG. Play ever so slightly within ourselves in the second half, make sure of the passes, and we've got this
Not sure I buy the pacing themselves bit, we will see.
Disappointing for the neutral, but its a final

It's not a quality spectacle but the occasion has made it exciting. Let's hope it opens up in the second half.
Unlike some, I quite like Dickson usually. Today, though . . .

Set piece I'm less fussed about. We're not doing ourselves proud, but I don't think we're second best, whilst I do think we've a stronger bench of forwards.
Yeah, I think it's fatigue from last week + heat.
Biggest disappointment of the match is the one we all knew it would be, as soon as they announced the officials.
He's not biased, just a bit shit.
Both sides getting away with a lot, and then randomly being pinged for something he's let go half a dozen times.
Montoya could have seen red for his hit on Hill. I'd say it's a red before the 6N, yellow since, so fair enough, but annoying.
Smith should have seen yellow for his rip on the floor.
I haven't rewound to see FKAS' hit off the ball on JvP to comment.

The scrum and lineout are problematic and keeping tigers in it - despite Dicksons views, Tigers scrum is on top and if you keep on dropping it…Which Tyler wrote: ↑Sat Jun 14, 2025 4:01 pmSet piece I'm less fussed about.

Pepper nowhere near the ball at the breakdown, how's that holding on?

Continuing in the same vein. Pepper doing himself a lot of favours tho.

Baths pack have started much better this half, so maybe they were holding back

Bath slightly lucky that high tackle was waved away quite so quickly. Seen them given.

Pollard's just been dire. A Farrell-esque handbrake on our attack.
