I keep hoping to see the brothers scrumming down alongside each other.

Re: Tigers v Nottingham (A) - Friendly - Friday 09th February 2024
Although it might be disappointing to play against a weaker team, I believe the coaches know what they are doing. Such games provide a good opportunity for the players to develop their teamwork and coordination, which is essential leading up to a tournament. However, from my own experience as a play...

It was during a TV interview or chat show. It affected him profoundly. "I didn't want it" he said.I wasn’t aware of the touching of the hem story Smudge.

Re: RIP Barry John
I was surprised to learn he was 79 as that is also my age. It seems but a short time ago that he retired. What a joy to see him play, even against England. There was a song in the hit parade in the sixties called "Poetry in Motion" and I think that perfectly sums up his play. As a man, he ...

Re: Tigers v Leinster (H) - Champions Cup - Saturday 20th January 2024 - KO: 3-15pm
It's the same year on year and still we carry on. We can't compete with the French Clubs who can spend many times our capped salary or the Irish Provices who are massively funded directly by the IRFU. The addition of the SA Clubs will only queer the mix even further. Today will have brought in anoth...

Harry Simmons
Can anyone enlighten me on what has happened to Harry?
There is a lovely clip on facebook of him stepping defenders and scoring a wonderful try.

Lewis Chessum
Can someone please advise us if Lewis is anywhere near the first team? After his time captaining the England under 20 team we were expecting him to at least make a bench appearance by now. Is he injured or not yet considered ready? I have certainly been looking forward to the brothers forming the se...

Re: French rugby 2023/24
I see that a certain Parisian club are sniffing around our world cup winners, especially Jasper.
I would be more than a bit upset if he goes to France..

Veainu returning
I was surprised and saddened to see that our old favourite is coming back to the Premiership to play for Sale. One of our all-time great players who left with Manu is joining up with him. https://www.rugbypass.com/news/telusa-veainu-absolutely-buzzing-to-be-back-in-the-premiership-sale/ Maybe we had...

Re: Rugby World Cup warm up games
I was disappointed when George took the first kick in front of the goal. It was a statement that catch and driving wasn't on the cards and as others have said, he seemed to kick everything away. As George has a very good rugby brain it was clearly dictated by the coaches. Do we have some special mov...

Re: Gary Adey
So sorry to learn of Gary's passing. A true Tiger from the first time he pulled on the shirt.
As others have said, a really top man who always had time for a chat with supporters and especially, former players.
RIP Gary.

Re: Rugby World Cup warm up games
A bit late, but I have a view on Farrell's "crime". Most have based their condemnation on the TV angles transmitted at the time. Added to which is their dislike of the man. The reviewers will have had the benefit of a lot more angles, plus fame by frame slow motion. In addition, there will...

Re: World Cup Squad Announcements
Once again, we have lost one of our top players to injury while on international duty. As a fan of the Tigers first and England second, this is extremely frustrating. While it's hard to place the blame on anyone, the fact remains that the Tigers will be at a disadvantage. If Ben also gets injured, t...
