Leicester Tigers

Good player, no doubt about that. Still think we are a centre short. 3x12's, 1x13 at present. The 13 is unproven in the NH. One 12 is an apprentice. Kata is an asset, but not necessarily helpful for those outside him. I wonder if it is a player from the NH who has yet to finish their season. Still ...

Saying a Centre is unproven in the nh is so weird to say imo I can’t think of many backs who have struggled in the NH Like props, locks and coaches I get He might be ok on field, off field another matter. Nemani struggled first time up here. And as I’m sure you know Nemani was a lot younger and hom...

One of the few bright spots for Tahs in their loss to Moana Pasifika

Changed their whole front row at half time

I would say the one thing about Vunipola is he doesn’t necessarily fit how Sarries want to play, which may of course be the same here. Possibly similar to Atkinson

Obviously Liebenberg becoming EQP may help things but we may need an EQP player If EQP is the criteria then Worboys, trying to bring home Charlie Titcombe, give McPhillips another go. I don't think there's any obvious EQP 10s available this summer. Manu Vunipola is one I'd consider. For me Shillcoc...

Watched highlights of Grenoble beating Dax 58-10.
Difficult over 9 minutes of highlights but Grenoble look a very good team. They would demolish anything in the English championship

Leinster going 6/2 split on the bench interesting Van de Flier not starting, would have thought you’d risk him even if not fully fit.

Toulouse to win by 5 for me

Read the Sharks team, thought I was looking at the SA team till I reached ex Gloucester player Grobler at no.5 Don't see the Glaws front row getting much change out of Nche, Mbonambi, Koch Especially with Etzebeth one of the ones shoving... I hope it’s a decent game. It’s both teams only chance to ...

Ultimate rugby lists as a Tigers player at least dual registered.
Know nothing about him tbh

I’m not aware that any of the smartarse examples were playing in THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

To clarify 30 something journeyman players from the championship

I am all in favour of looking to bring in young players from championship clubs, who could develop into premiership players. Bringing 30 somethings in from the championship achieves nothing imo

Excellent post GB72. As with all things it’s someone being brave enough to make the first step to start asking the important questions. I wonder just how in favour the welsh regions, and their fans are of South African inclusion in the URC, the Scots also for that matter. In terms of tv figures it u...

In reality I’m sure not many are in favour of a 10 team league. The issue is that championship clubs including Ealing, who have just released 25 players, have shown a complete lack of readiness to move up to the premiership both on and off the field. IMO the only other option would be an English and...

I would agree particularly from one of the angles I saw. He does have previous though
