Leicester Tigers

I'm going to go with 'maybe' and 'no'. I've not watched a great deal of Joe Ford. I suspect neither have most of us. Just because he's come from the Championship doesn't mean it'll go badly. Ben Kay came from Waterloo for heaven's sake. That said, I remember the last time we brought in a fly half w...

Does he say that the brother is famous for playing rugby?

Of course if Gloucester win the Challenge Cup they get the play off spot and the "loser" of Quins v Saints doesn't even if they get 7th.

Incidentally is he OK? He seemed to limp off on Saturday & I didn't see him afterwards.

A very big if though

For the moment, there's no confirmation or otherwise about Carl Fearns's move from Lyon to Glaws.

Why would Gloucester want Morne Steyn?

If you were able to put FB + OW on a seesaw and GF on the other and hope to balance their importance to the Tigers, the fulcrum would have to be underneath OW for it to balance. Therefore another quality signing is essential - not a project but an experienced player who can also kick. Were you a sc...

The third poster down on their site admits "Tigers are a bigger club"

All this frantic and excited opinion and debate (usually tinged with nationalistic bias) reminds me of why I have never warmed to the Lions. It's a deeply flawed concept i.m.o. and always has been. What did those Irish chaps think they were playing for back in the days when it was "The British...

A very sad day indeed - my condolences to Joost's family. Such a pity that the BBC have once again shown total ignorance of the game we all love - on last night's East Midlands Today they reported on Joost's passing, saying that he was a former Tiger having signed for us in 2003, clearly mistaking ...

He scored a try in the first match I saw at Welford Road.

Wormus pay attention to Hot--Charlie he was indeed provisionally named in the 28 man squad by Toulon but that was Tuesday, I think you will find events have moved on since then.

Toby Flood and Dusautoir anyone? Although seriously would love to see Dusautoir in a Tigers shirt he is a big game player and despite his age still has it he was a beast against wasps. He was taken off pretty early though which both because he was captain and because he was playing so well I though...

No expert but unless GF's contract explicitly mentions a block on him joining Tigers there is nowt Bath can do....even if there was, it's unlikely it's enforceable. It's a break clause, so there will be conditions around it and only those who have actually seen it will know what they are. I would i...

So you reckon it wasn't a red then?
