Leicester Tigers

Good summary Ian I watched the game dispassionately (and with no sound!) for the first time after reading the reports and this thread last night. After that start it was a fairly even game, a bit short on quality and fluidity from both sides in honesty. You felt that if we could have got closer on t...

Don't really get all this discussion about salary caps/systems. The vast majority seem to be in agreement that we didn't play too well, made some bad tactical decisions and substitutions. So given the score it seems if we'd have got things right it would have been much closer and we could have won. ...

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/leicester-tigers-v-leinster-tigers-7039280 Well a few contradictions here, talks about how Connacht pushed us close at their place, then talks about how Leinster managed their players, did I miss where he talks about the fact the team we sen...

Will be interesting to see how Taute fairs in a firing in form Tigers team.

Like others the jury is out for me.

But if he can't perform in this team he never will.

Looking at the last two w/e's fixtures there is still plenty up for grabs.

Just seeing the name "Montoya" on the team sheet fills me with joy and confidence.

I'm the same.

Quins have entered a strategic partnership with London Scottish, one assumes this will be somewhat similar to our relationship with Nottingham? https://londonscottish.com/london-scottish-and-harlequins-announce-strategic-partnership/ Didn't Quins have a strategic partnership with the Kiwi's?

Where is said/written the the PRC is a development competition or that team selection should be done in a certain way? If it's some kind of gentleman's agreement then clearly that is no way to run a professional sporting competition. If there is anything written or said then it seems posters/fans co...

I have to say having watched Sarries on Sunday they are starting to hit their straps, though maybe not the force they were as no longer have a bench full of internationals. They put Exeter to the sword even without Itoje who adds 10% to any teams performance Agree with this. Not going to be plain s...

This is a game where there is little point in predictions.

Home advantage definitely helps.

So the stats suggest that Sarries are penalised less. That could be because they are more disciplined - anecdotally/visually people suggest not It could be because the refs are biased - clearly discounted It could be pure chance - again seems unlikely over a large number of games with various refs S...

Sale were p!$$ poor this evening.

I think the officials were fine.

Most striking thing to me was how highly he rated Eddie Jones.

Quick aside interviews on LTTV are with a lady. Anyone know what’s happened to Bondi Maybe she is learning her trade, I don't want to be too harsh... but Bondi does a much better job. Also not sure if they are given the questions to ask by others. Some are just cringeworthy like "Were you surp...

The advantage law is hard to make definitive based on yardage/time.

Generally I think the officials do a good job.
