The centres now seems a bit of a weak area for Tigers as they lack both defensive and attacking prowess. The quicker Dan Kelly and Guy Porter can get back on the field the better. 16:58KEY EVENTMATCH REPORT IS IN Read Bobby's match report by clicking here.

But things seem rather different now. Tigers were at one point 11 points up but went on to concede 21 unanswered points. Sale looked good at look to be a real top 4 side this season but Tigers made it far far too easy for them. The champions looked disjointed in attack with only Nemani Nadolo looking a real threat, there were huge gaps all over in defence. With the tough test of Harlequins coming up, Borthwick will need a change, and quickly or else Tigers could get left behind from the top 4 chasing sides. Moroni shaped hole- There was plenty made of the gap that Genge and Ford would leave with their departures in the summer but it seems the Argentina centre may be the biggest hole.
