Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

The Ireland's ruck speed is a product of everything else they do - at pace, utterly 'grooved', everyone knowing exactly what to do. Unlike every other side, they train and play together outside the national team, whereas France looked as if they'd only just met - which was, indeed the case. Without ...

Re: We need to talk about Handré

It's not unusual to see Richie Mo'unga, Beauden Barrett et al missing the occasional kick like this. They're not robots. The crucial difference is that they play for teams that create far more chances to score, so it isn't the be all and end all. I really think the the key is to develop a game plan ...

Re: Tigers v La Rochelle (A) - Champions Cup - Sunday 14th January 2024 - KO - 3-15pm

I've been obsessively looking at the forecast for Sunday afternoon all week - pleased to see that it should now be sunny and the rain won't arrive until Monday afternoon! For anyone who has decided to take advantage of the Poitiers flights at the last minute, I now (unexpectedly) have a spare ticket...

Re: La Rochelle Tickets?

I phoned the Tigers ticket office this morning and the person I spoke to was very helpful. Good news - Tigers received an allocation from La Rochelle yesterday and they're being put on the system at the moment. It sounded like they would be offered to season ticket holders first and I was told that ...

Re: La Rochelle Tickets?

I was in a queue and no tickets available by the time I got onto the website. Now dependent on the promised Tigers allocation.

Re: La Rochelle Tickets?

I have registered on the La Rochelle ticket portal, should it be necessary to use it, but the English clubs who played there last year were all given allocations.

Re: Southern Hemisphere Rugby Championship

Just tactical. SA were trying everything to get back into the game, which they managed for a large part of the second half TBF.

Re: Play Off Semi-final - Sale - 14th May 2023 - KO 3-00pm

It's changed again - possibly after feedback. Trying to get onto the Sale website from the ground would have been madness:

Re: Tigers v Gloucester (A) - Sunday 12th March 2023 - KO 13:00

I simply don't believe that the captaincy would have been taken away from Hanro. Surely, it's much more likely that something's going on in his personal life that meant he asked to be relieved of the pressure - which also explains why the club hasn't commented.

Re: French rugby - 2022/23

I should imagine the news of Penaud announcing his transfer from Clermont to Bordeaux hasn't improved team spirit. He was moved inside to 13 v Toulouse, but it didn't improve matters, I guess. I'm interested to know how Dupont went at fly-half for Toulouse!

Re: Preseason match 2 - Newcastle (H) - Friday 26th August 2022 - 7pm

A couple of points relating to earlier questions: Cracknell didn't play last night - hope it's just a niggle: possibly an HIA from Jersey? Hegarty had a knee injury and didn't come out onto the pitch after the match, whereas Watson was with the other players and didn't have any strapping on his thig...
