Leicester Tigers

Scotland try scored by Van Der Meuve converted by Van Der Walt . Modern rugby I suppose.What are they called bokjocks!

Geordan Murphy and Rory Underwood. Can anyone remember whether they ever played in the same team? Did a very young Geordie take the field with an about-to-retire Rory in 1997?

And their first match of the 2020/21 season is against... Seems like most Tigers games these days feature a reunion with an ex-Tiger!

Antoine Dupont certainly is a terrific player who draws comparison with Faf de Klerk. Both are tough, talented players who instinctively make good decisions and I'm kind of reassured that both are ( relatively) small men suggesting that top level rugby isn't just for bulked-up giants. De Klerk has b...

Confusing end to a drab game, I thought.

Thought Curry's tackle was more dangerous than Hill's.

Why can't he do it for us??

But the nature of rugby with scrummaging, tackling etc and, to be blunt, the inevitabl...

Sad but inevitable. To be honest I'm amazed that we have managed to play so much elite rugby.

Bobby Ball (half of 80s comedy duo, Cannon and Ball) has also passed away. Both deaths were reported on Radio 4 News this morning but Bobby got top billing.. Not making any particular point but I do wonder sometimes how BBC news editors decide on their priorities and running order.

Agreed. Seems like part of my youth has passed away with him.

According to a blow by blue account of the events this week in the Daily Telegraph, they all signed legally binding contracts to abide by the Covid protocols. Some of the players broke them twice: a pub visit on Tuesday evening (which was undiscovered at first) and the now well publicised visit to t...
