ok fair enough there is something glorious about a side stepping prop with wheels

Saints have also been very underwhelming and although we managed to scrape a win at home to Exeter it is only papering over the cracks. Exeter are favorites for 4th at the moment as they have had tough fixtures to start

Agreed. It is a lack of clear gameplan undermining us right now. Hopefully the two will marry together nicely and the playoffs will welcome us again. I think it may be tighter this year though.

As a tigers fan I have also been very underwhelmed… conceding 30 points in three of our games so far is not good enough. I am worried they still aren’t sure what game they want to play: Mauger’s free scoring, running rugby (which also seems to leak points all over the place) or old school Leicester stick-it-up-the-jumper and maul the other team to death. At the moment they aren’t doing either quite well enough… right now I have us in a fight with Saints and Exeter for the last two play off places. One thing in our favour, we always seem to get better later in the season and time a run into the semis with perfection.

That was most certainly a magnificent try, however a prop with the ability to do that will always bring a smile to my face. So, no matter how good the try was and other tries were, there was only one winner this week.

As for the choice of games, Worcester and Newcastle get very little written about them, and being such a big game in terms of the foot of the table, it felt right to give them a longer piece. Feel free to discuss their current positions. Worcester were my pre-season pick to go down, however they seem to be showing a resolve that Bristol don’t seem to have at the moment.

I will give you the Bath Gloucester game though. I could definitely have gone for either of the games you mention. What did you think of those games? As a Tigers fan, I am underwhelmed by our start. Aside from the Bath game, we haven’t looked like a top 4 team so far.

Highlights from the Pro12 are usually online by now, but BBC Wales put the try on their twitter feed:

Also thought this was in with a shout for try of the week but haven’t seen the Prop-Stepper so difficult to judge

They were the two televised games though weren’t they…

Interesting to see a best of the weekend article make features out of two of the dullest games of the AP. The low scoring muddy arm wrestle in Gloucester and the error strewn basement battle at Sixways were far from the highlights of the weekend
I’ll give you Wasps vs Quins but I would have gone with Saints v Exeter and Sale v Tigers as my other two
