Swansea best team in the Uk that year 😆

Terrible news, gutted for him. Big loss for the tigers as well 🙁

There are some right chimps who comment on Rugby Dump 😆

Including you Flashy 😆

The Orange Witch starts at 12 v Leicester today.

I went to the game. Newcastle were poor but Sale were awful.
no penetration from Falcons whatsoever, Sale had territory, possession and the set pieces yet constantly gave away penalties.
Really poor.

Live on BT sport too. Think ill watch that.

B*** have a very good squad this year. Looking forward to seeing rokoduguni again. He’s a guardsman, got picked up by *alternative to a shower* following the army navy game. Good player.
Henson must have impressed in training to make the XV. Good luck to him.

as an aside, how the **** can they get this so wrong when the bloody video ref is looking at it? Its an awful decision

this was very very odd too but at least borderline I suppose

could he be offside? I’m not sure a ruck had formed? no ruck was formed, he couldn’t be offside. Also the ref said high and no arms which is clearly wrong.

back to Gavins performance in training… twitter says it all:

Super Gavin Henson ?@UnrealGavHenson 12 Sep
Great training session finished – lads clapped me off the pitch and @Jonathanjoseph0 asked for a signed picture. Happy to oblige for a fan!

Super Gavin Henson ?@UnrealGavHenson 29m
Shaking hands with some Gav fans before the warm up. Then a request to go into the @LeicesterTigers dressing room to sign some autographs

he had hold of Carter as he was falling, nothing wrong with that tackle at all. Agree the video ref is not at fault but its awful from Poite

I find it VERY difficult to pity the saffas for getting a hard time from a ref. they’ve benefitted so many times and got away with so much. Not a fan.

THAT was a game! Tigers dead and buried by half time but came within a whisker of beating Bath. That enforced break worked for Bath though, Ford is great isn’t he? Pity he’s only 12!

He was certainly more visible than a certain Mr Henson, if the commentators hadn’t mentioned him before the game you’d have missed him. Hope Bath didn’t pay too much on that effort.

Tigera did very well considering how many injuries they have this early in the season, can’t think of many other teams that would have come back from that sort of kicking before half time. Their No9 Mele was a liability in the first half, sorted himself out in the 2nd it seems.

Just got back from the match, Bath deserved their win, but inthinknit would have been very different with a full strength Tigers side. Thought Joseph and the Bath full back were very good, and not too many scrims will get on top of Leicester this season.
Henson was poo, shown an almost complete lack of interest for the majority if the game. In fact he looked a little more interested in the fat ginger man who kept standing up and shouting ‘I love you Gav’!

Outside of Lamb? You could be Tana Umanga and fail to get anywhere!

Henson had a mare in the first 15, but settled after that. Steady game for him, but its a new team to him and he could do well. Ford is good, but is only 20 so certainly has the potential for greatness.
If that’s the best b*** can do against a tiggers 2nd XV with a manager consigned to the stands and at the wreck, they ain’t going to be setting the world on fire this season. Felt bad for the tiggers winger who pulled his hamstring, he was having a good game. The b*** full back looked very good.

Whole game here:

IRB statement :

Following an initial review, the IRB confirms that it was incorrect for referee Romain Poite to issue a yellow card to Bismarck du Plessis in the 17th minute of The Rugby Championship match between New Zealand and South Africa in Auckland on Saturday.
Just as players and coaches make mistakes, the decision was an unfortunate case of human error by the match officials, who, having reviewed the match, fully recognise and accept that they made a mistake in the application of law.
All match official performances are thoroughly reviewed and assessed by the IRB and are considered when appointments are made for future test matches.
