Re: Tigers v Gloucester - Premiership Cup Final - Friday 15th March 2024 - KO:7-45pm

Of course as a fan I'm delighted that we have reached the final and hope that we can add another piece of silverware to our trophy cabinet but I ask the question (and I only ask as I genuinely don't know the answer) is there any FINANCIAL advantage to the club in reaching the final? Both the semi an...

Re: Other matches - 26th - 28th January 2024

Anyone know what's happened to Raffi Quirk?He rarely seems to play these days and yet it only seems like a couple of years ago that he (along with Harry Randall and our own JVP) was among the very best of the young scrum halves. Is he injured or has he lost form/interest?

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2022

It seems to chime in with recent snippets of rugby news like Carling's comment that representing your country is no longer seen as the "pinnacle" and Brian Moore's revelation (no idea whether these figures are true) that TNT are trying to reduce what they pay as they only get about 200,000...

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2022

Speaking as an Englishman, I find the news about LRZ really depressing. It seems to add to the general air of despondency that surrounds British rugby at the moment both on and off the field. He's one of the very few British players with real star quality and he's lost to our sport for at least a co...

Re: Tigers v Saints (H) - Premiership - Saturday 18th November 2023 - KO: 15:05

Just as a matter of interest, does anyone know what the attendance was for last week's "East Midlands Derby"?On the TV it looked almost full but I've not been able to find any official figure.

Re: RWC 2023 Fixtures and results

If - as is say 80% (imo) likely - England's World Cup ends on Saturday evening then it could also be the final England appearance for - I reckon - at least 7 of the selected squad of 23.

Re: Southern Hemisphere Rugby Championship

Didn't watch SA v Argentina match but does anyone know why Montoya went off first half? Presumably it was an injury.

Wayne Barnes

A report this morning on the BBC News website quotes the sentencing judge "Judge Wayne Barnes". I knew that our Wayne's Barnes, referee Wayne Barnes, was a lawyer but I hadn't heard that he had been promoted to the judiciary. Alas I think it is a slip by the BBC journo who meant Judge Wayn...

Re: Sir Kev.

Some people don't wish to be nominated for an honour or turn it down if and when they are approached. And, as you hint, the honours system has been further devalued by some recent events.

Re: Tigers v Leinster (A) - Champion Cup - Qtr Final - 07th April 2023 - KO 8:00pm

This morning's Daily Telegraph had two pages of Rugby Union coverage including an article about Holly Aitchison's acne but no match report on Leinster v Leicester or (unless I missed something) even a mention of the result. Call me old fashioned....

Re: Edinburgh match.

Just read that last night's crowd was just 12,800. Is that correct?? Both ends were quite empty but on TV - to me - it looked more like 18/19 thousand.

Re: 6 Nations 2023

Some surprising (for me) selections in Welsh team - particularly from the Leicester perspective - Owen Williams playing but Tommy Reffell on the bench
