A certain Ollie Smith very nearly did in 2005 (scuppered by injury IIRC after BOD got "tackled").

As said before, I don't understand why ie Ollie is leaving. I am not all that happy. I wonder what he will get from going to France. I wonder why the French rate him above certain other England players. Not that he is bad but he isn't the very best either. AFAIK he's lived and worked in and around ...

The shed was even quieter when Sinbad failed to get round the extraordinary Mr Ayerza one on one despite having the whole 5 metre channel available!

I have agree with Iain above. The Sunday Times today put Goode as the star man, but Erinle must have pushed him close. A lot has been made about how well Jack Adams played for Gloucester at 13, but opposite him he had Erinle who in the first half at least made 3 or 4 really telling tackles - 2 or 3 ...

bbc.co.uk now reporting Vickery out, Borthwick to captain.

I've seen the shed at it's worse, with not only racial abuse aimed at some of our players and I have been forciably elbowed by a 6ft+ man because we've won there..... :censored: awful place with :censored: awful thugs who call themselves supporters........ Thankfully some of the language and gestur...

Anyone hear who got MOTM? Guessing it might have been either Goode or Erinle. Having safely managed to escape from the Shed at full time, I have to say Erinle stood out all afternoon. Some really telling tackles and topped off with the try... Glad Tigers won away, no doubt some of the Glos fans thi...

I don't think there was intent to do harm - simply to intimidate. He only brushed the other player. I agree with you. I'm not even sure that he even touched Traille's head. I'm not surprised it wasn't cited either, as a citing would have then immediately questioned the judgement of two of the world...

So only, er, 10 full internationals in the starting XV then...

As the commentator mentioned yesterday, there aren't too many no. 10s in the Premiership who've helped win 5 Premiership titles...

Top man, although with the current torrent of fixtures from various competitions there wouldn't be anything wrong with adding another top class FH to the squad.

More cheating by Varndell I see. Glad it was spotted. Just to come down to your level of whinging for a second, is that the same Varndell (who admittedly gave Leinster and unnecessary advantage by batting the ball out - he should have just caught and run it out) who took Mr Easterby-the-elder's elb...

Mmm,

I think Mr A has his eyes firmly on a Newcastle 10-12-13-15. That or Cipriani at 10 and JW at 12?

YOU TALK FOR YOURSELF ABOUT SLATING PEOPLE - SUPPOSE YOU COULD GET ON THE PITCH AND DO BETTER EH ME DUCK, WELL OFF YOU GO THEN, WHAT POSITION THEN? I reckon you're supporting the wrong sport me duck, you seem more the football type as far as i'm concerned.

Nik,

WELL SAID!

Rabeni has done some far worse tackles so far this season.

Mmm, not where he's led with a clenched fist though. Stood about 15yds away in the stands on Saturday, at the time it looked more like a punch than a tackle, and didn't look much better on telly...

Sadly the East Midlands derby isn't looking like happening now. Shame...
