But it doesn't result in open play. It just slows the game down and allows the kicker more time and space.

No issue with the Caterpillar so long as the ball is used when the call is made and refs stick to the 5 seconds

The comment that McKellar chose not to bring a consultant……this may have been out of his hands due to the finances of the club and the fine.

Anyone watch the game……pitch is waterloggged with inches of water covering it, yet game being played…..guess not much kicking.

McKeller cannot win…..lose and he gets stick…..send a weakened / experimental team and lose there will be huge disappointment with the fans. Sale are in contention for a top 4 so for the integrity of the competition, Tigers should put out the strongest available side to try to win it……not experiment...

Would not be surprised as it was reported that he wanted to return to SA so that the grandparents can enjoy time with him, his partner and there first child.

You wonder how much input Mckellar had in to these appointments and how much better things will be when he has people of his own choosing around.

Where is this being reported?

Brown may be available as his red card was the result of two yellow cards…..next Friday is classed as a competitive game I thought he was banned for “disrespecting the officials” (i.e., swearing at them), not for the 2 yellows. Apologies, my comments were before the charges for disrespecting the of...

Seems he will be available for Exeter game apparently. Three weeks have been suspended. Misses tonight and Sale.

With it being a friendly, there is no set time for the teams to be released....

Can’t underestimate this side.

It does look like Peter Wheeler.........when I last saw him at Welford Road, he was showing his age,

Steve Kenny is the one on the right wearing a tie

On a slightly more positive note Exeter are thrashing Glos so by the end of the day hopefully our top 8 (makes me shudder to have such low expectations) will be confirmed and our place in the Champions Cup 2025. At least we shouldn't finish outside the top 8 if it continues this way... Not bothered...
