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

This was a must-win game and we pulled it off. Reffel man of the match and lives up to the plaudits, but we are so poor in tackling. If you are going to constantly tackle from the side, players are going to slip out of any tackle and make ground which they should not have gained. Players either are ...

Re: George Fords Departure - Why ?

Im with RB,I don't think we need a worldy 10 now with our pack, Exeter won the double with Simmonds at FH.

Re: George Fords Departure - Why ?

I too am sorry he is leaving. I feel that his dropping by England had something to do with it and definitely his Dad's departure. I am surprised he didn't go shortly after him. The big surprise is he hasn't gone for a big pay day in France now that his international days seem to be over. If he has ...

Re: Worcester (A) 16th October - 3pm

The first game I've missed watching either live or via TV for nigh on 2 1/2 seasons. :smt022 Sad that I could only listen via BBC Hereford and Worcester. BBC Radio Leicester in thrall to the footy. Even though there is only one team in the city that is smashing it every week :smt041 ....oh, you hav...

Re: Reffell still not in the Wales Squad

Whilst I understand that the Welsh are worried all their players might leave, crippling the franchises, it must surely be illegal restrictive practice to stop people working where they choose, if it is not illegal it should be. The pressures applied on individuals is more than just saying if you le...

Re: RFU To Review The Use of 'Swing Low,Sweet Chariot' ; Connotations of Slavery ?

It seems to me that was is essentially being questioned is if it is wrong for a white person to sing a song written by a black person and vice versa. The right to free speech must be preserved as there is no way the singing of this song breeches any laws because if it did the police would take acti...

Re: RFU To Review The Use of 'Swing Low,Sweet Chariot' ; Connotations of Slavery ?

The song has been sung by rugby fans because someone more than sixty years ago invented certain hand movements to go with it. Yes it is a spiritual but are we to ban the singing of all of them and of Blues music or are we going to say that they can only be sung by black people, will sea shanties be...

Re: London Irish (A) Sat 9th Oct & Worcester (A) Sat 16th Oct

No JvP If its not injury or rest I would guess its because LI score a lot of 2nd half points and we may want Wigglesworth to close the game out I would imagine this is the likely reason.. makes sense . I am not too sure about that, Wigglesworth has not been good and asking him to close out the game...

Re: Tigers vs Exeter - Saturday 18th September 2021 - 1500

Here we go again.. can't wait for this one. Lots of game time for players during pre-season. Still missing some big names like Montoya, Van Staden, Wiese and Moroni (all first choices for me) but we have far better strength in depth this year so I think we have every chance. Exeter missing a few ke...

Re: Scarlets visit - Thursday 09th September 2021

May be a pre season but leaking tries due to missed tackles is simply not good enough. ..I really thought we had eradicated that from our play. Tackling with your arms, side on to your opponent can only end one way. Pretty embarrassing to watch that happen twice in a very short period. Noticed it s...

Re: BRISTOL (H) - 5th June 2021

I’ve said it already but hope Bristol bring their “first fifteen” as I want to see us have a good go at them. I’d put Nadalo on the bench as he could be great in the last 20 if we are close to them. JVP has to be involved as his pace in defence and attack will be needed v Bristol. The main worry is...

Re: End of BT Sport?

...hasn't Lineker turned down a contract with BT Sports to go on a European tour with his sons to watch Leicester City!!!
It seems like someone knows there are problems ahead and we are all just catching up.
