Leicester Tigers

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

Interesting to see that Saracens have returned 500 tickets from their allocation. Difficult to sell so many tickets when you only have 43 supporters :smt003 They’ve never had the biggest travelling support, and that coupled with Friday night kick off and school half term week. I don’t know how many...

I'd go for Ben Volavola of the available 10s who seem reasonable targets from a cap perspective. Quite. I suggested Pellegrini as an example as he's possibly and example of several "desirable" qualities: 1) relatively young (so potential for long term option) 2) has demonstrated potential...

Do the press divulge all of their sources? No, they protect them, otherwise we would never ever learn the truth about what happens behind closed doors and likewise for whistle blowers. To state that something isn't worth didly squat unless you divulge your source is demonstrably untrue and ignorant...

Possibly also worth mentioning that Mckellar has said the difference between coaching here in the premiership and in Australia was wider than he realised

Possibly an unfair comparison but reminds me a little of Cipriani, on his day a world beater but can also be very mediocre

They've all got major issues for me. Northampton - Well, its Saints innit. Bath - Its Bath innit. Saracens - Don't want others getting closer to our record no of wins... Sale - I don't like Sanderson (but theres no doubting he's doing a good job). As Sale and Northampton have only won it once each ...

Well it’s all been discussed in great detail on here but I’ll repeat it as you’ve obviously missed it or chosen to ignore it. First season in a new country Turmoil caused by the Dickens situation and being a coach down RWC and losing 11 players to it Injuries to key players Anyone of those can caus...

If we can get the team playing like they did in the final game against Exeter and like they did this pre-season, win games and be in contention then I would hope that the naysayers will come around. I am left with the impression that some feel that he wasn't the right fit and therefore won't give h...

It’s possible he may find himself in a similar situation to Wiese. Young family, he’ll be 31 by the end of next season may be time to return home.
As other posters have said he will have plenty of suitors and part of Tigers decision will be VFM if he’s still involved in the Springboks plans

Friday night showed for me why he isn’t in the England reckoning. Sharks shut him down early so he couldn’t use his footwork and pace and wasn’t physical enough to go through the sharks forwards

With Ford and F Smith involved in the playoffs he probably is next in line if they wanted 2 fly halfs for training
