Leicester Tigers

Possibly an unfair comparison but reminds me a little of Cipriani, on his day a world beater but can also be very mediocre

They've all got major issues for me. Northampton - Well, its Saints innit. Bath - Its Bath innit. Saracens - Don't want others getting closer to our record no of wins... Sale - I don't like Sanderson (but theres no doubting he's doing a good job). As Sale and Northampton have only won it once each ...

Well it’s all been discussed in great detail on here but I’ll repeat it as you’ve obviously missed it or chosen to ignore it. First season in a new country Turmoil caused by the Dickens situation and being a coach down RWC and losing 11 players to it Injuries to key players Anyone of those can caus...

If we can get the team playing like they did in the final game against Exeter and like they did this pre-season, win games and be in contention then I would hope that the naysayers will come around. I am left with the impression that some feel that he wasn't the right fit and therefore won't give h...

It’s possible he may find himself in a similar situation to Wiese. Young family, he’ll be 31 by the end of next season may be time to return home.
As other posters have said he will have plenty of suitors and part of Tigers decision will be VFM if he’s still involved in the Springboks plans

Friday night showed for me why he isn’t in the England reckoning. Sharks shut him down early so he couldn’t use his footwork and pace and wasn’t physical enough to go through the sharks forwards

With Ford and F Smith involved in the playoffs he probably is next in line if they wanted 2 fly halfs for training

Agree re Kelly seems a strange omission. As I suspected looks like Coley gets the summer off. Nothing to prove by taking him and succession needs sorting ASAP https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/articles/cn00g5n38z1o " Props Dan Cole and Joe Marler are available for this summer's Tests but...

I know Farrell isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but he is very driven. Be interesting to see if he has a positive effect at Racing to unlock all that potential or he just ends up winding the French up

Rumours of player mentality especially, can also follow people’s own bias And are very easy to make claims about, if someone wants to. There's plenty for the players to be upset about, having just finished 8th in the league. That doesn't mean they blame it on McKellar or don't want him there. Yes v...

It is difficult the team that is attacking the most, which Leinster were certainly for the first hour, remember seeing a graphic even when Toulouse were ahead that they hadn’t been in Leinster 22, they will be mentioned more don’t mind the comments myself, like many on here I know enough to know wha...
