Leicester Tigers

Saw this on the BBC web site and was really upset. He was a stand out in so many ways. The usual condolences don't seem enough.

oh my goodness. that's awful news. condolences to all his family and friends.

Going to be director of rugby for Scotland according to BBC. Locking horns with Cockers again?!

Gosh, ten years. Where has that time gone? I remember the penalty shoot out so well. I was at the other end of the ground though, and did actually watch it, hands over mouth. I thought their player would miss - his body language said I don't want to be here. Then JC kicked his. Wonderful. Ah, the go...

Given that we are in the deep do-dos, anything is fine. Just hope it is short term though. Just a thought - if GF and JF have no relegation clause (no idea if they have or not), then he will surely not want them to be playing in the championship. A good reason to pull out all the stops to help.

I still hope and indeed believe that we won't land up relegated, but a visit to Ampthill would be brill. Home in 30 minutes and the gin & tonic. Much better than a slog down the M1.

All credit to Ampthill though. Great club.

The wedding hit a new low. Just like the team's performance

I've just got back from the Saints game and it seems to me increasingly likely that we will not have European rugby next season (heavens to Murgatroyd, please let's have premiership rugby) but as yet I've seen nothing about what will happen if we don't have European games. Will we get some money back?

I still keep the faith (pace, Bill W, of blessed memory) but what will happen if we don't get any European games this coming season?

repeating what many here have said - a real Tiger and so often an inspirational player.

Hope we get the opportunity to say goodbye - perhaps some sort of presentation on the pitch this Saturday?

At last - some cohesion and some real spirit. We played like a TEAM! So chuffed and hoping we have turned the corner. I never lost the faith but it is a lot easier to keep it now.

reckon I must be lucky. been away with no phone and no wifi access so I missed it. I really am depressed for the rest of the season

+1 more.

has anyone else had an email about getting tickets for the final - with a picture of a Tiger? do they know something we don't? or are they very clever and send known supporters of each club a different picture?

I was going to post something similar. Couldn't agree more - it is so bad it is beyond naff. It has to stop.
