Leicester Tigers

Agreed should be a cracker. I don’t think it’s in the nature of either side to close things up so expecting an open game. One caveat for 2 such free flowing sides is that the scrum battle will be key and both played well at the weekend.
If push comes to shove I’m going Bath by less than 7 points

I think that the first issue involves getting a second or even a third broadcaster involved in bidding for the next rights deal. Whereas in France the companies put in a fair offer each time to improve the product which is good for everyone. Here we have TNT putting the press on every time. We lost...

Agree that the best two teams are in the final but will be interesting to see if they both sustain it next season with no World Cup and all teams starting on a level playing field. Unsure of the ins and outs for both sides. Both have 2 comparatively young squads. Saints losing Lawes and Ludlam, wit...

Love this time of year, where anyone who looks as though they're moving on.... could be a target for Tigers ! I suspect that there may be 1 or 2 additions but I'm not getting my hopes up for some massive popcorn-type news. I agree and after next week most of the Tigers focused rugby media (social a...

Second point is that far from dissing Bath I’ve picked them to win next weekend

Thought you’d gone quiet. Inciteful post as usual

Rugbygramps, what’s your point about Barburry, any player would/should be hacked off by being substituted, why do you have to continue dissing Bath or any other team on this forum. I’m not aware that I am continually dissing, some examples would be useful, in fact I would say I’m a lot more toleran...

Just seen on Sky that Rob Burrow has passed away. Expected but incredibly sad

We are having a sort of similar conversation on the unoffy and I posted this in reply I too have had a bit of a compare between the round ball and odd shaped ball games, first and most obvious, there's far more of the round ballers, so a bigger audience to aim at and fleece of their readies. But on...

Laughable really, there has been in the past decade Premiership clubs with no ground of their own, no financial plan that would have got passed by any authority anywhere on the planet and some did also struggle to get 5000 fans, even when giving tickets away for free. But let's kid ourself that all...

IMO only there was nothing to choose in quality and there could have been no complaints had the results gone the other way.
One of the points of difference in both games was the impact of the bench for both the winning sides

Two close semi finals but to be honest the Bath Sale match felt like a third/fourth place playoff. Neither of those teams deserves to have a crack at the title. More worryingly a minority of bath fans seem to be intent on bringing hooliganism to their ground. Not sure what the incident with Hill hi...

2 great semi finals. Going to be the old enemy against the neighbours in the final. Going to go with Bath for the win, much as I dislike Guscott standing there with his glass of red, I’m a big fan of what Van Graam has achieved and an example of what can happen if given a little time. Only slight c...
