       Leicester Tigers vs Exeter Chiefs

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       A new season, a chance to get back into grounds, full of
       optimism.
       That lasted about 7 minutes as Tigers stormed out the blocks,
       first to every break down, pushing back in tackles, exploiting
       any luck they got/earnt. They were very good indeed. Exeter were
       a shadow, some good moments and some momentum shifters.
       The officiating team, led by Ian Tempest, were average at best,
       random decisions, some very blatant missed forward passes/feet
       in touch.
       After Leicester got into a lead, Exeter came back, built up a
       head of steam, attacked through midfield. Player was held up
       (possibly), play was brought to ground by Leicester players and
       then stripped on the floor.
       Leicester crowd thought it was a maul (so was collapsed), we
       thought it was a tackle so illegally stripped, came continued
       until AR McDonald  intervened, penalty awarded. Tempest went
       over, had a chat, over ruled AR awarded Leicester scrum. Scrum
       penalty (correct), line out drive, 2 mis passes, Leicester
       scored.
       I wont go on as we didnt deserve to win, was a rude awakening to
       how tough this season will be.
       Great atmosphere, lovely to be amongst fans again, roll on the
       next one.
