Leicester Tigers

Completely agree with this. No body is being negative but all possible options need to be looked at ASAP just in case. It would be irresponsible of the club to say we hope he isn’t going anywhere then be caught unawares when he does I'd add that I think the disappointing thing with Pollard this sea...

Something to make me think next season will be an improvement on this one would be nice. The signs are there for me but I appreciate not everyone agrees I hope you're right! Last season was such a strange one. I agree that there were some promising signs. It just felt a bit like it was one step for...

(Also interesting how much of a Men’s side clear out is taking place with Attack Coach, Head of Physical Performance, S&C and Sports Scientist…) When I read the vacancies list, when we first were getting rid of Ollie Richardson as head of physical performance, I wondered if the other S&C ro...

Totally agree. Look at the squad that Borthwick consistently had available for the title winning season! Totally different to what players were consistently available this season. I’ve always believed that to win titles English sides need to be lucky with injuries: Chiefs Quins, Tigers, Saracens al...

Question for the knowledgeable. If South Africa don’t pick him for their summer tests squad would the ban carry over to his new club, as he won’t have missed any fixtures that he was eligible for selection for My understanding is that providing there is some paperwork somewhere to suggest he "...

Kinda is a surprise given Leinster have 3 international 10’s and one deemed the future. All their younger 10’s are better than Ross they just need to actually play them in the big games I don’t see the IRFU evening entertaining it Yes but none of their 10s are Sexton. Frawley whilst young may be fe...

Both concerning and unsurprising. We'll just have to wait and see end of next season

With Ford and F Smith involved in the playoffs he probably is next in line if they wanted 2 fly halfs for training I suppose there isn't much depth at 10 in England these days. I'd probably go for Skinner over Atkinson though. I wonder if Borthwick told Atkinson he'd have a chance at making a squad...

Must say Charlie Atkinson over say Kelly is an odd one, I suppose they want two 10s in the squad but with only 19 players it seems an odd one...

Initial training squad 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒔: Fin Baxter (Harlequins) Chandler Cunningham-South (Harlequins) Alex Dombrandt (Harlequins) Greg Fisilau (Exeter Chiefs) Joe Heyes (Leicester Tigers) George Martin (Leicester Tigers) Gabriel Oghre (Bristol Bears) Guy Pepper (Newcastle Falcons) Ethan Roots (Exeter Chie...

Seen on Twitter that concussions may have been the reason we let Chester Owen go, as he had a number and there was some concerns about him staying fit.

I heard we had spent up, unless we exit someone, no other significant signings - that’s why he must have a plan, probably academy promotions. I've heard the same but slightly differently. That we have/are spending up to the cap but have not finished announcing all signings yet. I'll also add that W...

Could be financial difficulties. Reading the statement it reads more a Vicky led decision. She's done an incredibly tough job of founding a team and it has been a massive effort, it may be that she is just ready to pass the baton on to someone to build on the foundations and structure she's built.
