Leicester Tigers

The key difference today was getting points on the board - last five games we’ve had loads of possession in the first 15mins and come out with little to show for it. Good game management was key today. Completely agree. Also our attack looked to be varied and have lots of shape(s). I hope next seas...

So stupid by Wiese! Unbelievable. Obviously red.

As crazy as it may seem, I hope 24 points ahead is enough!!

Up until now, we have been a really good team.

Feels like we're either going to win this comfortably, or else cough up a couple of interception tries in the second half and lose it in the last minute. Let's hope we can make the second yellow count at the start of the second half. Let's see how the final 20 mins go. For the last couple of months...

Do we have our new attack coach already?!!

It looks like a completely new strategy. Shame we can't catch though or hold on to the ball...

The non-penalty try was hard to believe. There is no way Kelly was going to be caught and no real last man.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/articles/c2lelwe9eyjo BBC article from McKellar Sounds like he is blaming the season on fitness and his inexperience. He needs to learn his lessons and quickly this season has been very dissapointing. I don't read it like this. Lots of aspects were not his fa...

At 33 his age might put off some other teams but would be a really good signing

Would be a great pick up as a back up to Polly...

If Tigers are signing Moroni then he'd probably be surplus here. I disagree. For me this would be horses for courses. Moroni is one of the best defensive centres in the world IMHO, but I think Perese is better in attack... In any case, we need more than 2 or 3 centres in the squad due to potential ...

Centre, fly half and full back - 29 yrs old.
Solid, flexile player.
Could do worse unless one or both of the academy lads are going to be meaningfully transitioned in next season.

Good call. He was excellent at the weekend, unfortunately.

He's a flanker trapped in a scrum half's body.

That would explain his kicking haha

This is painful to watch...

Or slightly fewer injuries... but our defence is, or at least was the best in the league.

As was said, we are missing fitness and attack.

In such a simple poor attack plan he’s always been the only one who does something that scares defenders

IMHO he has been one of our best players this season.

Completely agree
