Leicester Tigers

It is all about the coaching.

If he is a current head coach in Japan it implies pedigree and investment from tigers.

Does anyone know anything about him or his record as a coach?

I don't agree with posters saying that the yellow cards cost Tigers the match due to numerical mismatches. Saints also had two so cancel out the Tigers' cards. Obviously the red card made some difference but I'd argue the main difference was how the team with 15 used their numerical advantage over ...

McKellar should definitely stay. We need the continuity abs he needs time. That doesn’t meant today wasn’t his fault- it was. It also doesn’t mean he gets a free ride he doesn’t. Issue h has is that Tigers don’t seem to be getting any better and since the mid season break we’ve been poor. Much easie...

Fitness clearly an issue since Aled left. Back to the old second half collapses. You can't play with 14 men against Saints for 50 mins and not expect to see the players blowing. This was the case against Leinster too. I agree with Mol2 here. We need to step this up for next season. Agreed- we look ...

Really thought we were well in it, until the red card. Thought we were decent for the first 50 minutes or so. I honestly thought Ridley was right with his initial analysis when he said yellow. It's a shame the TMO kept pushing for a red. Losing Tommy was big, too. Sorry, but Cracknell offers nothin...

We were in the game until 60 minutes and the red card. Attack still a concern- conversion rate terrible- shock horror! Contact skills with the ball not very good. Thought Youngs was dreadful when he came on. Absolutely awful. We spent 50% of the match with 14 players. Tells us how much pressure we w...

It is amazing that it has been so even over the years because if I was picking an all time Tigers and Saints team I would only pick one, maybe two Saints players. I know that shows my bias!

Big games are for big players.

Time for Pollard to earn his corn.

I want a win but what I demand is a performance.

Great for Carndruff. A show of faith.

As has often been the case this year, big day for the Head Coach.

Does anyone else feel that one of the best sports in the world is run by idiots? I just look at so many competitions and think- what on earth are you doing?

Tigers are searching for balance in a back line that has some deficiencies. We lack pace in general and play making ability in midfield. Shillcock deals with one of those but surely we play our best fullback at fullback. Stuck between a rock and a hard place. Next year with Parese at 13 the team sho...

We were so much better today. An intercept away really- small margins. Really pleasing to see our improvements.

Difference in the two sides summed up by who they brought off the bench compared to us.

Just had a scroll through the Bath squad list and I'd be surprised if they are spending more than us next season. Take out Russell, and your not left with many big money players. Even the likes of Underhill and Cokanasiga are surely not on huge money given their injury problems. Similarly to us, a ...
