Leicester Tigers

So Saffers and Tigers supply 6 each, Quins and Irish 3 each, Wasps 2, Saints only 1.

I was going to be harsh on Saints' current strength, but on reflection there's Hartley, Lawes and Foden who would be 1st choice normally, plus Dowson and Dickson.

Here's the 23: England team to face South Africa: Alex Goode (Saracens, 4 caps); Chris Ashton (Saracens, 27 caps), Manusamoa Tuilagi (Leicester Tigers, 15 caps), Brad Barritt (Saracens, 9 caps), Mike Brown (Harlequins, 9 caps); Toby Flood (Leicester Tigers, 52 caps), Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers, 26...

For me, having got rid of ESPN last year for financial reasons, it will now be a question of whether to keep Sky at all. I'm a general sports fan and will watch anything, but I'm already aggrieved that I'm paying over the odds for Premiership football I don't really need. I'll clearly be getting BT ...

Can't believe I only just saw this thread! Gutted...

To be fair, BY was the place kicker when we beat South Africa, and scored 17 points out of 22.

Random question: is it not Logovi'i, rather than Logoviii?

Though he may have the girth of Henryviii...

Great to see the win. Obviously need to win at Ravenhill now.

While I don't agree with generallee's views, I accept that he DOES know some people on the inside.

What exactly did Daryl say? Was he actually offered the job, or was he "invited to apply"?

Long time Tigers fan who rarely posts here, but I have to say I am shocked - he should have been given a full season at least. I hope the next coach/director of rugby/whatever is given the opportunity to select his own coaching staff, so that he can implement his own vision without being undermined.

I used to work for CAT at Desford and I'm pretty happy with this sponsorship. They are a big corporate but I think they are a reasonable company with (in my experience, at least) a good attitude to their workers. Also it was because I was working for CAT that I ended up living 5 mins from Welford Ro...

Very funny! I will also see that noble visage whenever I read a Bill W message in the future. He's been right so far, though...

Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu is at 12, no less. But the whole of the back line (and the back row, come to that) is slicing us up.
