Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

Heyes, Chessum (x2), FTT, Carnduff, Ilione, Whitcombe, Henderson, Reffell, Martin, Beets

That’s some long term forward quality around which you can build your wider squad

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

Harhwrall, Rogerson, Hanro, Cracknall are all very similar players but Hanro is by far the best and most effective so has to play as much as possible. Playing 3 of them in the same team just doesn’t work IMO and we looked more balanced when Ilione came on and Cracknall also made a difference. Your ...

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

2 yellow cards and the non yellow/penalty try against the Glos 9 were the key moments in the end.

That said, if you don’t even try to play any rugby for 70mins then you get what you get and can’t complain

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

So we can pass it and put width on it - makes you wonder why we didn’t try to play any rugby at all for 70 mins

Neither have they though (yet)

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

I agree - France will be looking to win in any way they can - it almost certainly won't be pretty and if Furbank is FB then they'll rain down kicks onto him and IFW (and look to kick in behind IFW to keep him turning back towards his own line) all game long. I think SB will know that and Steward wil...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Fair play to England - they found a level we’ve not seen since, well, god knows when! Maybe RWC semi final 2019 because even the recent RWC was anti rugby up to a point. If they can build from this and kick on then suddenly things will look pretty positive. If Martin and Chessum can stay fit we’ll h...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

I think Furbank is a very good player but Borthwick needs to find out if he can become World Class like Freddie: I also read a couple of weeks ago that Freddie had picked up a niggling injury! Furbank has also been quite a versatile player and we know Borthwick likes that too. No one expects Englan...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Good points made - I also wonder if Borthwick and the coaches thought that the new blitz defence would wreak havoc and force errors from the opposition in their own half which, in turn, would give chances to score some quick, relatively simple tries from turnovers like Tigers managed under him. That...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Who’s your second midget both Daley and Freeman are 6ft plus Google says Daly is 178cm which is the same as me. I’ll take someone saying I’m 6ft plus and run with it! Wiki says 183 cm which I think is more accurate British and Irish Lions say 179cm which I ld say is about right so we’ll have to agr...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Doesn’t make sense to me - it’s pretty obvious what Scotland will do early doors and in particular if it’s wet. 2 midgets out of our back three - cue an aerial barrage Who’s your second midget both Daley and Freeman are 6ft plus Google says Daly is 178cm which is the same as me. And no that’s not s...
