Beware Wounded Tigers


Purdy - First Try

By Cherry Picker

It's good to see that the Glaws management aren't being fooled by the six try victory over London Welsh. The Exiles have us a hard time until they ran out of steam and Geg Laidlaw used his experience to get us going ..

David Humphreys has told the Citizen that the coaches are getting increasingly frustrated by the way the basics are not being carried out properly. That includes  handling skills and erratic line-outs.

On the plus side we always have Jonny May to ignite a game, while Henry Purdy scored the first try and will continue to develop as he gets more game time and Mark Atkinson scored twice. Mark Atkinson celebrates his try during the Aviva Premiership match at the Kassam Stadiu

Fitness is not an issue as we scored 31 points in the last quarter of an hour, but nobody is being deceived as the likes of James Hook still haven't shown their undoubted class.

Tigers are up next and they will be smarting after their home defeat by Irish.

It promises to be a fascinating contest and a victory would really kick start our season.

You have to give credit to Welsh for their first half performance. We can learn some lessons from them about putting in hard graft and playing for each other.
fortunately class and fitness told in the end .

Cant make my mind up about the Tigers game. Id rather they narrowly beat the Irish rather than the other way round but we are at home. Pity its not another atmospheric Friday night game though
