Re: Champions' Cup Quarter finals 2024

Well played Saints. Some great attacking play and have smashed a weakened Bulls’ side but I believe they’d have beaten Bulls anyway.

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

When have we seen anything near a full strength squad turn out this season! Yes, all teams get injuries etc but when I’m not watching Tigers home and away I watch the other Premiership teams and they manage to get settled squads out. Borthwick had a season of awful performances before turning things...

Re: Champions' Cup Quarter finals 2024

Congratulations to Quins. Brilliant result and I’m expecting Saints to join them in the Semis later on tonight.

Re: Championship Clubs Promotion

Simple question. Do Ealing Trailfinders honestly want promotion? Compare their attendances to teams like Bedford, Coventry etc and it seems they don’t have a decent fan base: yes they have loyal fans but look at their website, it just doesn’t look like a club that is ready for promotion though if th...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm

Marcus Smith reminds me of George Ford when Fordy broke into the Tigers’ team: great vision in attack and a very decent kicking game. Smith of Saints a very promising player too. Both can continue to learn from George then England will be able to move forward in a very positive way. I always enjoy b...

Re: Black Lions fixture

Cockerill was a top bloke. He once turned up to coach about 150 school children when 3-4 other England players suddenly didn’t turn up. “ No problem,” he said, then told a few of us what he needed setting out equipment wise and for a whole afternoon had the children enthralled by his coaching. After...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm

Really enjoyed the way we tried to play last night. Now as others have said, hopefully we will put in the best performances of the season v Saints, Bristol, Sale and Exeter. Saints were very good today but they did give quite a few penalties away: they have a very strong defence and their attack can...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm

Great effort by the whole team: well played Leinster and we just had a couple of things that didn’t go our way. Personally I felt that tonight we competed hard and though the attack still wasn’t clinical enough there were signs we can play a more balanced game. Another try through their line out mis...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm

Have some supporters, not RunTigerRun, forgotten the first season under Borthwick: truly awful and the season up to Christmas when Borthwick left we had some atrocious performances at home and I remember being at Sarries thinking what the hell is going on when by half time we were getting thrashed a...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm

Nothing to lose so just show pride in the shirt but for me the main thing is no injuries as the next game v Saints we have to get some points then hope we get a reasonably fit side out for the last few league games. It’s a shame that for what is supposed to be the top competition we’ve been unlucky ...

Re: French rugby 2023/24

Pleased Zac Henry is getting massive praise for his Fly Half play at Stade. To play as well as he did with PAU whilst his poor dad was so ill was a huge credit to Zac and the encouragement of his father who did, sadly, pass away. Zac has credited Steve Borthwick and Tigers for helping to improve him...

Yes they did then everyone was miraculously fit.
Makes no difference what side they put out we just need to get everything to click for 80 minutes or maybe 97 minutes!

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45

With all the disruption Tigers have had it’s not an excuse but a reality that with our awful luck with injuries and international call ups we were always going to struggle to get any continuity! Watching the players walk round the pitch to applaud and talk to us who went was a huge testament to them...
