Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Here's the French team for Friday evening's opening match, and it's as expected. I'm really hoping that Racing scrum half, Nolan Le Garrec, gets more than 5 minutes at the end of the game to be properly tested at international level, because I'm convinced he has the potential to keep Antoine Dupont...

Re: Tigers v Leinster (H) - Champions Cup - Saturday 20th January 2024 - KO: 3-15pm

I'm not Ian so sorry to but in, but I don't think Leinster will go weakened at all. They've got a home tie already yes, but with 14 points they're on for being seeded number 4 at the moment and in big danger of being up against La Rochelle in the last 16. They'll want a bonus point win to finish as ...

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

Much to my surprise Stade Rochelais is only mid-table in the French T14. Anyone know why? I think I read, possibly from our French correspondent Robes, that they gave their French squad members extended time off. Certainly Aldred is only just back playing, if he is ? Alldritt has just come back fro...

Re: Tigers v Saracens (H) - Premiership - Saturday 06th January 2024 - KO- 3-05pm

Genuinely never going to have a better chance to beat Sarries- they've still some world class players but that's as weak as they're ever likely to put out. Get it done boys.

Re: Tigers v Quins (H) - Premiership - Saturday 11th November 2023 KO: 15:05

I was at the match and supporting Tigers but it's fair to say I'm no die hard and probably a bit more objective than most of you. I utterly get that means it doesn't hurt me as much and I haven't seen as much this season to be able to judge. But...it wasn't quite that bad was it?? I honestly thought...

Re: Tigers v Bath (A) - Premiership - Saturday 28th October 2023 - KO:15-05

I'm not sure if I'm being a cynic or just plain unintelligent but the wording's a bit obtuse isn't it? They'll 'link up with their teammates in the build up' to the Quins match doesn't necessarily scream immediate availability does it?

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

In view of the ground limitations why don't Sale try to move game to a larger stadium, more tickets, greater profit? I know its a bit late but there must be a bigger soccer stadium available on a Sunday. I'd imagine something like it being their first semi final for many years and them not wanting ...

Re: CHAMPIONS CUP QF DRAW

Seems the BBC journos got the draw list wrong, Sale will be at home as well it seems, the only one they got right was ours. I'm afraid it was all right- Sale are away, Munster are away. Don't ask me how or why, a combination of the QF seedings and a draw, but this is consistent with how it was list...

I genuinely believe if we beat Leinster we will win it!

I agree, Scott, if we were to beat Leinster, we really should be able to win the cup!

If we beat Leinster, we more than likely face Toulouse! Definitely the easy half of the draw.

Re: Tigers v Leinster

Perhaps a bit less dangerous to tempt fate now- Leicester City have changed their match v Everton to Sunday May 8th because of their involvement in Europe, so fair to say that Tigers v Leinster is probably on Saturday May 7th (or outside bet the Friday night).

Re: Drinking culture at stadiums

I know others have said already but I think Twickenham has steadily gotten worse and just isn't worth it any more. Prices have risen hugely, and barely anyone there seems to actually watch the rugby!! Irritating and growingly unenjoyable. I stand at Tigers so haven't noticed much difference but very...

Any thoughts on this please?? From memory, we shouldn't expect much until far later than could be reasonably expected when we're already fumingly angry. That about right?
