Leicester Tigers

Your comment about being bribed to ignore is imo wide of the mark, this is pocket change for these investors and if it doesn’t go to rugby they will just invest it elsewhere. "We may as well do the incredibly amoral thing because someone else will if we don't" is not a good excuse. Anyone...

Essentially Eddie Jones coming in meant the Aussies lost their forwards coach, really good guy, chap called McKellar (dunno where he ended up) So to fix that they cobble together a band of coaches one of them is Dan Palmer. Dan's background is he's an ex prop. So after retiring his coaching career ...

What he said was stupid but is it really racism? Mo (who is an amazing athlete that I admire greatly) was not born in England - I think it was Somalia. Ignoring Sharman's stupidity at saying Pakistan if he had said Somalia is it really that far from what Narraway tweeted about TTT and his English n...

...Clark should not be playing again this season (if he is then Tiger's next game with saints could be quite tasty!) Players doing stuff like that shouldn't be playing at all again. Yeah, it's an aggressive game, but IMHO, that rates far worse the Tuilagi M on Ashton last season, or Ashton on Tuila...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=d_5Vlsyekio Can be seen here, horrific and deliberate, absolutely no defence for that. Long, long ban if seen. Cockers definately had a word with Clark after the game hopefully the club will raise it to the RFU. Was just logging in here to ...

To be fair, this is the kind of match that Varndell used to drift out of.

Sounds like a lot of unnecessary kicking from the radio feed. Loads of up-and-unders straight down the opposition's throat.

Players at nearly all level are taught to do this - if they pass without any momentum they literally rip their shoulders to pieces over the years. If they take a step or two it is meant to be better for their careers This approach seems completely alien to me. Yes, they'll possibly play longer, but...

Like I said in the other thread, I still haven't forgiven Goode for the world's stupidest up-and-under to give away possession in injury time vs Munster. Gifting the ball to the opposition when you're two points down, in injury time, is unforgiveable. He wasn't my hero of the day. Personally, I'd be...

Not a bad shout, but we then don't have a kicker, what did work a few years ago was Goode playing at 15 with Jaco at 10, AG was very good (no pun intended) I remember being at Wasps and seeing him score fine tries one from his 22, he seemed more relaxed at 15 when he didn't have the pressure of pla...

I think it is high time the RFU (if they are never going to consider playing internationals outside the normal season) introduced some sort of player cap (e.g. a maximum of 3 players from any one club) for an international match. Disagree completely. The international selection should never be affe...

Following on from that, I just had a thought. Anyone else curious to see how Sam Vesty plays at fly-half nowadays. He's got all the skills, it used to be his position and he has shown on his appearances at 12 that he's better suited to handling the pressure nowadays.

I normally have some patience with Andy Goode, but I'm not sure I can forgive him after watching the past two games. He missed vital touches, took the wrong option on several occasions (the double cross-field kick vs Munster?) and repeatedly put up pointless high balls that we never stood a chance o...

everyone has forgoten about jason robinson who said that he would like to play for england again. I was never a fan of Robinson at full-back. His talents were best utilised on the wing, IMHO, as it gives him the option of going one on one with an opposite man. At fullback, he got closed down toward...

Sounds like a load of trash to me. Mind you I claim to have introduced the saying (about bad real ale) "As flat as a witches <img src='images/smiles/icon_censored.gif'>" Now is this true? are witches noted for lack of boob? Speaking as someone who is a witch, <checks chest>, I can't say t...
