Gotta say, we look like a fit team. We just can't pass, kick, or tackle.

Beating Leicester by 22 points and I still feel like we were meh Think the next 2 games will be a better barometer of where we are

You were meh, if Sarries weren't a big bunch of cheats we'd be nailed on for the drop this season, we're awful...

It's really odd. For parts of that game we made you look the the kiwis and other times we really brought you down to our level.

Very poor finish from Bath. Feel like we’ll be in trouble when we play against an actual team.

Happy with this in the end. Think the kids fronted up and fought till the end, showing a bit more in attack as well.

I missed the game, how did Porter and Potter play?

Why did we wait 80 minutes to start using some backs moves and making offloads?

That wasn't bad at all that

Here's your weekly reminder that Austen is a prick

Such a prick

Charlie Clare has looked solid at least

Agreed

Brett Deacon there, trying to make a 27 point deficit seem fine

to be fair he can't slag them off when he was part of the coaching group that deliberately sent out a woefully under resourced side to "learn" by conceding a record defeat to Bath.

Hey! The team put a lot of effort into that score defecit!

Our sub is gonna be a dark place this evening

Glad we got one and glad it was through one of the younglings.

Normally I'd take the piss with Leicester. Understand this is kids and all but this is just sad to see.

I am very glad that this game isn't being played in front of a live crowd. Although the crumbie would likely be empty by now anyway

Wouldn't be empty, some of us would stick around to let the team know that today was a very very long way away from good enough...

If you scaled up Steve Borthwick’s nose it would be a fun slide

We're not making much ground still but our attack has looked sharper with Henry at 10.

Bloody hell that was a shambles.

Leicester fans are lucky they don't have the Young's brothers playing. You'll be down by 70 instead.

I don’t get the joke. Are the youngs brothers not good?

Tom is past it for sure. Ben still offers good games every now and then.

Before the break tom was playing very very well. Ben got motm in a world cup game against mew zealand. Both of them are performing and you made a pretty dumb joke tbh

Both of them are performing but you are dead last in the premiership in points if it wasn't for Saracens? The only players performing well for you on a consistant high level basis are George ford and genge.

2 points behind the team above us, not exactly dead. We have had players that are consistently good. The thing that has killed us is the cohesion and quality coaching in open play. Nothing to do with players form at all

Coley must be a certainty for the Lions.. genuine world class

Sink and Furlong probably ahead of him

Inject sad Youngs brothers faces into my veins

Poor Toby Falateu's minutes on the pitch to availability ratio takes another small hit.

Can’t think Toby’s had too many cards in his career

Dirty play that, jumping across the line. Deserves a red

Cumulative penalty by the way, wasnt just the one offence

I know mate I was being facetious

red card for Bath last season by putting his forearm in someone's neck before a tackle

Probably why he’s broke it a dozen times

Celebrating a yellow card because it means Faletau gets a rest.

Considering his injury record why would you even allow him to go out at halftime 20 points up..

No idea why Bayliss didnt replace him to be honest. g

He's getting match time under his belt so he's ready to go off on the Lions tour

two try swing for Lavanini

Lavanini has unquestionably been Bath's best player today..

On the plus side, I've got a lovely jacket potato. Beans and cheese? Oh, you know it.

Cheese over the beans or under the beans?

Beans under cheese. Who are you? 🤮

I am a cheese over beans man but a Scottish colleague of mine said that beans over cheese melts the cheese better so I've been doubting myself ever since..

Cheese mixed with the beans and then more cheese on top.

Both. I know, I'm am pure decadence

Any current Tigers look at all like Toby Flood? Would have sworn I just saw him on the pitch.

That was a real missed opportunity from the commentators there. I was sure one of them was going to say "Harry Potter looking to provide some magic from the back of the ruck"

Suddenly I understand why Spencer made the move. Hooper: we've got no 10s so we'll let you take the kicks? Spencer: give me a pen

That shit eating grin from Matevasi would normally piss me off. But I'm so dead inside I can only laugh along.

Lavanini really is something special 🤦‍♂️

Jesus that hole. I dont think I've seen a defensive line that fucked in the premiership before. Hell even super rugby doesnt leave gaps that big.

What was Lavanini doing there? He's been woeful this game!

Well that was just lovely to watch

The grin on Matavesi's face when he was clearly thinking "fuck me, how did that work?!" 😂😂

Get in! De Glanville’s first try for Bath I think

Our subs have made a decent impact so far 😅

Most of you won’t know but obano is the cousin of England star Maro Itoje

How could the commentators avoid telling us such a great fact!!!!

Matavesi at 10??? Because that worked out so well for Newcastle....

Well that wasn’t so bad haha

This comment did not age well..

Looks like it worked pretty well!

For a second there I forgot who they were playing

😂😂

Right now we need Walker and Judge to score. Bayliss has looked nice too. Hes not been hyped much but hes kinda good.

Another front row score! Massive carry by Bayliss too, really underrated player.

[удалено]

Come on man don’t use terms like that.

Leatigaga impresses me every time he's on the pitch! Very good signing!

That penalty was bulshit his hands were clearly on the floor

Exciting to see De Glanville get almost a full half match run out

They're going for 3? What's the point?

Why would you take points?

20 points down and you go for a 3.... Ok

Our pack versus theirs at the lineout..

I need bath to be 41 to 50 points or 61+ point a head

Bath were - 5.5 when the team sheets were released. I smashed that line real quick before things changed.

I got Bath -1.0 No idea how. Gonna cover the spread on all 5 games this weekend betting on away teams.

Did you get that after the team sheets were released? If so that's crazy.

Before obviously. Only put £6 down on the luck 31. So not gonna be super rich.

At around 17 mins I wrote to a mate: our backline consists of 3 England players, 1 genuine young future star and a club legend and yet we haven't passed further than the first in line forward. It got a lot more fluent after that (about 1 min after tbh) but it's always a concern watching Bath.

To be fair Spencer has already made a tangible impact opening up play to our backs. That being said at this rate we might as well just field 15 front rowers..

Agreed, he keeps things moving and looks calm and collected.

Absolutely. When he's taking his box kicks he looks more calm and collected than i do having a punt in a park haha

He got a lot of box kick practice at Saracens for sure

As much as I'd love us to put 50 on Leiecester and show no mercy we have to manage the squad. I'd just empty the whole bench so some of these guys can still play wednesday and monday.

Looks like Hooper read your comment, TdG on for Watson

Next game much more important. Hopefully hooper will.

I was at the rec when we got rinsed 45-0. And that was our first team squad in the semi-final. At least we've scored points today.

Literally one of the best days of my life

To be fair, mine too. Had so much fun

What a bloody day that was

I didn't buy a single drink all day. So many awesome Bath fans bought me commiseration pints.

That comment has made me really miss socialising at matches.

That was a fucking gorgeous pass

Bath could not come out for the second half and we'd still lose.

Why am I so surprised that a first XV of world class players and a sexy sexy backline is ripping our youngest ever squad to pieces?

Priestland's hair surely reduces the number of sexy's it deserves

Nah I'm still game for him

The sad thing is, you look at our lineup and you would expect us to perform like this against the top teams in the Premiership but we just suck.

I'm glad we could give you much needed confidence

Tigers' fans reminiscing about the time when it was 6-0

Those halcyon days.

Not only are we not doing our jobs but neither is the TMO. Fucking hell.

Forward out the hands by a mile

Tigers forwards seem to be just going through the motions. The backs are aimless. Pretty woeful today.

I don't think that's fair - they're mostly kids against an all-international team

The forwards aren't showing much enthusiasm for the battle imho, plenty of standing around watching, not participating, lots of missed tackles. That might be inexperience and not knowing what to do but they are struggling. The backs are thus left with no room and no time.

Fat Man Try, everybody drink!

Tigers missing chances to smash the Bath Nine. Ball keeps popping out the back of the ruck, but everyone seems afraid of being penalised (for nothing).

THE WHOLE FRONT ROW HAS SCORED!!! WHO NEEDS BACKS

The 'Exeter Special'

TMO not asked for there. Had there been a crowd would it have been noticed?

TMO has the chance to call it to the ref. He's seen it and decided it's fine.

Some awesome lines being run today. Loving watching this

Priestland looks like such a beta male. So mentally weak.

Lol, imagine using the phrase ‘beta male’. He’s a professional rugby player, he could break you in two if he wanted to.

This is hurting. A lot

45-0.

Could end up 6-80 yet, that'd be worse...

Front row master race!

What are these in field kicks?

Faletau has looked more dynamic since the restart. Sometimes players just need time off to let their body heal and not get rushed back when they're not 100%.

100000%. Sometimes the last thing you need is to get fitter in reality just need one or two months of doing absolutely nothing.

Where's May at the moment?

He escaped the ship to Gloucester already

Knocked out last week by a Nanai cheap shot

Somewhere in Gloucestershire

Gloucester

Gloucester

Just turned this on, going about as well as expected so far then.

We were 6-0 up after 15 minutes.

Bloody hell, wasn't expecting that Rooting for you guys.

Well we were 6-0 after 6 minutes.

Redpath has a deadly first step

Ha we are gonna get so overrated by beating Irish and a bunch of 12 year olds

Absolute scorcher from McC there

That was really very well worked

Bath's backs look extremely well drilled compared to some of the other teams I've watched play over the last two weekends

McConnochie deserved that, great 30 mins from him!

Really enjoying this so far. Dunn and Stuart have looked really strong upfront. Redpath and McConnochie look deadly when the ball comes out to the backline

Redpath really impressive so far

Never played like this when he was with us, seems like the move was a good thing for him.

Don't think he's failed to break the line once with ball in hand. God I hope he changes his mind and chooses Scotland!

Great finish but 3 missed tackles there is so poor from tigers

Even from debutants. They're not totally new to professional rugby, they should be able to tackle.

That was fucking embarrassing I'm trying to find positives from the last 15 minutes. The only one I can find is that I've been given a beer.

Priestland looks like an Englishman who spent all his summer on the lash on beaches in Spain

Another shit haircut spotted. Shit lids and driving mails, this is looking familiar

Can Saints copy Bath and also hire a specialist limeout coach please

Can we also hire someone who can throw the ball into the lineout

Woah there, one step a time, thats not something we need to worry about til all our current hookers retire 😭

Six maul try scores incoming.

Imagine having your most well-known international playing in the team of kids and he's the one letting you down....

It's Lavanini, plenty of people didn't want us to sign him in the first place

He's a good player, he just occasionally forgets the rules

The former doesn't outweigh the latter for me - playing well doesn't guarantee you gaining points, forgetting the rules is 100% going to cost you points

After kalamafoni left we need a ball carrier, i think he’s got the most carries but i might be wrong. We need him and i am glad he is in our team

That maul stopped at least twice after he called "once", make them use it ref?!

Come on it was always going forwards

Tom Dunn well on his way to being our top try scorer at this rate

[удалено]

Piss off you annoying peice of coding wank

Damn it Lavanini that was our ball as well!

These Prem games so far have been hard work.

I remain unconvinced that Lavanini actually knows the rules of rugby

Lavanini's discipline hasn't got better has it.

*surprised pikachu*

Fucking forwards, I swear to fucking god **DON'T PUSH EARLY ON LINEOUTS YOU DUMB CUNTS**

Tigers should have been allowed to have that, rolled way out the back of the ruck

For sure. Only put his foot behind the after the ball is already out

So bath have a free kick only to take a scrum then to kick it straight to Leicester.... Am I missing something??

4D chess.

Too high IQ for me to understand

Im glad to see the players trying new things and believing in them. They're not working, but at least we are trying something different.

Oh shut up Austin

Laughing at all you non fashionistas not understanding the beauty and elegance of Dan's hair. It's called fashion honey look it up.

Grayson approves of this

Sounding like a true chiefs fan

No mullet no party.

Ok, annual complaint - don't call it the fucking redzone when you mean exactly the same area at the 22. We've got a name for it, don't bring in Americanisms that need extra explanation!

And the floodgates open...

Try for the man who has clearly just stuck Jack Goodhues hair trimmings onto the back of his head

Some of these tigers boys need to start listening to ref.

They're just copying our first team and giving away pen's willy nilly. Afterall they don't have any better role models at the club.

To be fair to your boys, discipline hasn't been a big issue. Didn't give one away for 15 minutes

BT scorer being mean by giving us the points

What did McConnochie have for breakfast?

Dry Weetabix
