Leicester Tigers

On the Lenny/Dan podcast Dan sad that if the quarter final had been Stormers v Tigers, Tigers would have to fly Dublin - Birmingham - Bordeaux - Doha -Cape Town. What a nightmare that would have been! This is where the tournament organisers need to be involved. If they want SA teams in the competit...

Just had a thought one of the problems with promotion for Champinship Clubs is ground size, not supporter size. In the past Prem Clubs have ground shared with Football Clubs I.e. Sarries London Irish Wasps London Welsh. Why has no one thought about Championship Clubs Ground Sharing with Prem Clubs ...

Yeah I don't see him going there now. I wonder if they had a choice between Spink and Marchant and went with Spink. Marchant makes sense if we are losing Porter. If Porter is staying it becomes harder to justify signing him. Perese, Porter and Marchant would be incredible depth but overkill! Tbf wh...

Steward on the bench covers 20% of the positions. Not saying it’s ideal but if Feya Waboso can be on the bench so can Steward Depends what other cover you have on the bench and on the pitch. If Ford is starting, I suspect that Marcus Smith would be used as bench fullback cover and so no spot for St...

I don't want him at 12, I don't want him at any specific position I want the most impactful 15 on the field, his playmaking clearly needs work for a modern 15, tactical kicking, more than just the kick tennis version, probably needs work, we know he has a massive boot so maybe taking some longer di...

Starts making it look like a viable option with some reasonable value for rugby fans there.

Interesting. Does that mean that the National teams are giving up on the cash cow Summer tour in favour of a competition that would fund the club and not the national game. Not sure that is going to win much favour, even more so amongst the Southern Hemisphere nations that rely on the significant in...

Cannot see anyone stopping Leinster this year. Still not a fan of being able to use the Aviva as a home and neutral venue. I know why they can do it but I would like to see a rule whereby a ground where you have played any of the previous rounds as the home team could not then be classed as a neutra...

That is not unrealistic but the other option is that perhaps he has to develop a second string to his bow to get an England bench spot if Furbank remains the number one choice. In the long run I hope that this is a temporary thing where we are concerned until we can develop a back line with some dis...

No Ben, I thought he might be a starter, not even on bench, like I said in earlier post last time I saw him he looked down in the dumps, I just wonder if he is 99.9% finished? Another week without Watson! If he are down to third choice for the big games, I suspect that there is a decision to be mad...

Don’t get why everything that isn’t totally explainable is a worry, but that’s your opinion. It could be just not recovering as quickly as hoped, look at JVP. Realistically Saints beat Munster and have another European game, we loose have a week off and have a fully fit firing squad in 2 weeks. Som...

And neither was anywhere near their best especially Reffell who was no where near his best. They also could have made any issues worse. Very easy to read into things that aren’t there, and also why would Mckellar lie, his latest statement was they were touch and go and that the 6 nations hadn’t don...

Looks like Martin, Chessum and Reffel are injured. That is pretty much any chance we had. Hate to be pessimistic but we needed them.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68713327 Football seems to be starting to have issues of their own on concussion. The research around heading and degenerative brain injury in football has been going on for some time but has lacked the traction as most of those affected have been long retired. ...
