Leicester Tigers

No Liebenberg, is he injured? Surprised to see Taufua involved from the off. Don’t want to overplay him, considering he has been playing non stop since February (admittedly bit of a break between Super Rugby and Mitre 10) I'm sure they consulted him before making the decision. Throw 'em in I say. T...

….. bit too arrogant, bit too English. Sorry. That's absolute tosh. I'm sure they went in with a similar mindset to the All Blacks game (albeit a different gameplan which may be closer to the issue). Nobody accused them of being either of those things then. Try suggesting that to Gengy next week if...

what was really pleasing though was how well we did in that defensive set, under a lot of pressure. Remarkable step up from last season. As for the comments on the ref - it was thanks to his incompetence that we got that final scrum - should have gone the other way to be fair - but we have been due...

Saracens lost at home, Sale lost at home, Wasps lost at home, but don’t let that get in the way of your myopic view. You seem to suffer so much, why do you bother?

Sarries lost at home to Saints. The much vaunted Sale lost at home to Glaws. It’s going to be that sort of season.

Having Telusa back would be a start...

If Saturday was Phase 1 with large number of youngsters, then I’d like to see a slight shift to Phase 2 whereby we add 2-3 more senior players but retain some youngsters to increase their development. Let’s not go straight to all senior players. Gigena, Kerr, Heyes, Green, Wells, Lewis, Reffell, Bo...

Hopefully nothing too serious

Looking at photos it appears to be the same strapping he has on during the game, so I don't reckon it's anything to be concerned about.

At the last supporters meeting at the end of last season the club stated that Tigers would take all future competitions seriously, as they were aware that they had not done so during that season. Furthermore, the club stated that it was all about developing a winning mentality and restoring confide...

There is a lot to be learned from a player like AWJ. He is far from being the most talented player that you'll ever see but neither was Johnson and it's said that he was a great leader and presence to have. Could be the kind of presence and attitude that has been missing since the undermining of Co...

Yes RB you are correct however Jones was preferred over Itoje which arguably lost us the series in New Zealand and went at the expense of Joe Launchbury who at the time was playing better rugby than Jones at the time and I would argue still is a better lock-forward, but experience and leadership wi...

Well at least it doesn’t give ‘certain others’ yet another reason to whinge about recruiting ex-Tigers. That seems to be a capital crime these days.

I've seen some good-looking hookers in my time, but sorry, Dimitri, you're a long way down the list!

Well you can't leave it there! Come on, we want that list!
