Really? What has he actually achieved, though?

I’d still like to see some of Cockerill’s passion in our present coaches. I couldn't agree more, together with his feistiness and a do "everything" to win attitude. Ii couldn’t agree less. Depends what you mean by ‘passion’? Didn’t do Cockers much good in the end, did it? Was Deano ‘passi...

Well he's starting against Georgia

Surely that's Manu Vunipola?

It is very strange

Not with 75 caps for England.

If Gloucester were to win the Challenge Cup, they would take the 8th English place in the Champions Cup....Tigers would then be in the Challenge Cup if they finish 8th! Ohhhhh and that would really be the final nail in the coffin for this season horribilus :smt010 Not if we keep playing like this! ...

Indeed but it must apply to everyone that resorts to abusive and/or threatening behaviour no matter who they are. Agreed. The definition of ‘abusive’ is an interesting one though. I, for one, think there are many posts on this very forum that edge into the ‘abusive’, whether that be towards other p...

And yet in this country the support our private schools give to rugby is used as a club to bash the game over the head. ‘Toffs game’ and all that.

Imo Bath are a good comparison. One of the historic power houses of English rugby results have not been great, at least partially down to internal promotion and the wrong coaching set up. They have now found the right man and have stuck with him, this is his 3rd season, and that is showing dividend...

To make absolutely double sure we don’t go into an overspend….

And he’s only 23!! Whilst he may always lack the pace of some, I’m sure he can and will still work on and improve the attacking side of his game. Maybe part of the ‘issue’ is that he plays the way he is asked to play. And he does that very well.

It’s funny. I feel the opposite about Leinster. Their lineout creaked at times, their scrum certainly did. Look, Tigers aren’t European contenders (yet). None of us thought so before the game and it came to pass, despite an encouraging performance from us. I think Leinster might struggle against a s...

And Player of the Match tonight.

Ludlum and Sinkler both off to Toulon.

if Borthwick keeps injuring Martin we should threaten the RFU for the medical costs and his wages whilst unavailable its getting beyond a joke now they keep sending him back broken What’s getting behind a joke is opinions like this that seem to think there’s some sort of deliberate policy to injure...

It was interesting listening to the BBC Leicester pod interview with Jasper talking about why he's left us, basically said if his dad was able to travel he'd probably have stayed as he wants him involved in his granchilds life. Suggests that SA is probably his destination, but Japan's shortened sea...
