https://nextgenxv.com/2021/03/05/england-u20-squad-for-saturdays-friendly-thats-shrouded-in-secrecy Not sure where to post this, but explains why we didn't see Ilione plays for Notts this afternoon in the champ as he played for England u20s yesterday. Good to see Vanes get some minutes too if he cam...

13 team ring fenced prem and Sarries not being one of those would make for an interesting league! Credit to Pirates, didn’t see the game but sounds like they outplayed Sarries. And the RFU don’t think the championship is as good a league...?! The RFU made some idiotic comment about the Championship...

Gloucs beating Wasps at the Ricoh whilst being down to 14 for a large part shows they won’t be an easy team at Kingsholm next week. Should be another good game!

There was a moment in the BT commentary when Austin actually said something positive about Tigers - I went light headed and had to sit down. Firstly, LI are a good side. In that context and the fact we are missing many of our “firsts” that was a good barometer of how far we’ve come. I thought the b...

A mixed side but a monster bench! If Nadolo is fit that bench looks tasty!! Let 20mins with those lads coming on could be good! It’s exciting! I would like to see Porter involved somewhere though to see how he reacts,tbf he did get better as the game went on. Agreed!! I’d like to see Porter as an i...

Agree with others in that we need to start getting some points away from home, and imo no better time for this than Gloucester away. Building consecutive wins will be important and whilst Gloucester are at the bottom, they have been improving. They’ll miss Harris and LRZ as it’s not a fallow week so...

Scott and Moroni are a good partnership and lead our D line well together Agreed - they’re harrying quite well in the defensive line and besides the first try the midfield defence has been fairly strong. yet some on here seem desperate to replace Scott ... Only just seen this but in my view they wi...

I’ll take a win. But going from 33:18 to 33:32 in the last 5mins or so is poor. Discipline needs improving massively. Nice to see some backs scoring as a change from the maul (which I think suffered without Montoya). We need to stop thinking 3 tries are enough though... Be important to have Liebenbe...

Agreed - they’re harrying quite well in the defensive line and besides the first try the midfield defence has been fairly strong.

For next season we've got; 1. Genge, Leatigaga (plays both sides), van Wyk (rumoured), Whitcombe 2. Montoya, Youngs, Clare, Kerr 3. Cole, Heyes, Hurd, Dimen 4. ?, Wells, Chessum 5. Green, Henderson 6. Liebenburg, Martin, Lewis 7. Van Staden (rumoured), Reffell, Wallace 8. Weise, Brink, Smith 9. You...

Gutted we don’t get a Montoya / Creevy head to head... Strong team - glad to see Porter retained in the team, and Chessum rewarded for his form vs Bristol last time out. When you think we still have players like Genge, Montoya, Martin, Liebenberg, Wiese, Youngs, Ford, Nadolo still to come into that ...

Nottingham sign Ben Betts (Prop), Luke Frost (Second Row) and Ben Sugars (Hooker) ahead of next season.
Betts former Tigers and Munster coming out of retirement.

Betts was rated highly with us if I remember rightly, moved on for more game time? Good to see him back.
