Leicester Tigers

A real lack of Exeter players, I hope this is just to give them a rest as I think the Simmons brothers have earned a call up

Intriguing final , that could have gone either way - under the circumstances , credit to Wasps.Impressed by their maul defence but Exeter capped their fine season with the double. At least the season had completion.I hope I'm wrong , but I fear a similar scenario for the one up coming - cannot see ...

Agree with the above.Apparently a decision to be made by this coming Wednesday.

I hope the Bears players have stopped drinking and sobered up

He could very well play against the Barbarians, whether or not it will lead to a full cap is doubtful considering he has got Sinckler, Williams & Stuart to compete with. Williams will be in back to back finals so should be given a week to rest after that. Sinckler hobbled off against us and was onl...

A training squad has just been announced but it’s for a short camp: Wasps and Exeter players don’t feature obviously but as expected Ben Spencer is omitted. Ollie Lawrence and Ted Hill of Worcester are called up along with Beno Obano (which I am pleased about). Leicester’s contingent (including Joe...

It's officially called off after 6 more Sale players test positive.

According to the BBC its 8 more a total of 27 absolutely ridiculous!! So Sale miss out on play offs

Sheedy is in great form, but he's about to turn 25, he isn't a young up and coming player - he's probably at his peak and going through a purple patch in a team playing exciting rugby. Well done to him for getting to where he is, but he isn't going to set the world stage alight. No he's not an up a...

Joe Simmons has to be on Eddie's radar, he is, in my opinion much better than Umaga, I think ne hope we will see him feature in the 8 nations assuming he doesn't get injured in the semi or final of the play offs

Surprised Marcus Smith has been omitted, not sure why? It was EJ who first brought him to the World's attention!

I "believe" he may be injured

Having just read the BBC article regarding Manu's latest injury is it worth risking our senior players in the Quinns game?? Should it be a case of "keeping the powder dry" until the real action starts with the new season??

Winning is a habit and we do not have that habit
