Leicester Tigers

Tuilagi has no chance of playing. He has returned to England massively overweight and unfit.

Backrow is 6. Parling 7. Piennar 8. B. Deacon

Dan Hemingway is covering back row on the bench.

I couldn't stand those red swirls, and HATED the white socks. I like my International rugby kits in a traditional style. The French kit is horrendous too, it's nothing like their traditional colours.

Thats more like it, i couldn't stand the last one.

Does anyone know if there are any photos of either A League game floating around?

Players that caught my eye, one way or another: 15 Amorosino - very competent, hardly put a foot wrong albeit never really put under pressure. Promising. 14 Tuilagi - a wrecking ball going forward, with one beautiful take on the run. Kamikaze liability in defence. 12 / 13 Cobden / Forsyth - nothing...

Will is on loan to Coventry, so it was indeed the same guy scoring that try as playing tonight. You don't have to be registered to Leicester to play in A League games, so Will, and indeed any of the other players loaned out to other clubs (eg Hemingway, Green and Harrison all played for Nottingham y...

From the Notts website: Nottingham: Matt Parr, Tom Youngs, Petrus Du Plessis, Ian Nimmo, Nic Rouse, Craig Hammond, Luke Sherriff, Phil Eggleshaw, Tim Usasz, David Jackson, Tim Taylor, Tim Molenaar, Charlie Hayter, Jack Cobden, Andy Savage Replacements: Neil Fowkes, Sam McDonald, Tom Warren, Sam Rave...

I'm positive Pienaar is still a Tigers player. I think we'll have to wait for the squad to be officially announced to clear up some of the confusuion regarding who belongs to who.

I don't think the team sheet is 100% accurate, certainly not the subs anyway. Dan Hemingway got on the pitch but his name doesn't appear either

Team looks good - and surely puts to bed the idea that Jack Cobden signed permanently for Nottingham? Jack Cobden has definetly signed for Notts on a 2 year deal. The reason he is with Tigers for this trip is we have an understanding with Notts, hence why we loan them so many of our players on shor...

This is fantastic news, what a thrill for us to see our boys take on the world champions. Fair play to the Boks too, a return to traditional touring. i wish there was more of this.

What sort of strength team do you think we'll put out?

Unfortunetly Jack Cobden has defo signed for Notts full time. Hopefully he'll do a Billy 12trees and prove he should be a Tigers player, and return in the near future. There is no doubting the lads got talent.

I think Billy Twelvetees was only released due to the fact that he'd spent the majority of the season injured, so no one could really see how he'd progresses as a player. Once the Academy lads reach a certain age, they can't just be kept on for potential. The club have to be pretty ruthless at times...

Jack Cobden was probably still under contract to Tigers at the time, i don't think player contracts end on the last day of the season. I'm as sure as i can be that he's signed full time for Nottingham. Shame, he's a great player. Adam Parkins was on loan at Bedford but i'm not sure how much he playe...

I'm pretty sure Jack Cobden and Adam Parkins have left the club, although i may be wrong. It's more difficult to tell with the young forwards, they're not really expected to push for 1st team till 21-22ish just because of the physical requirements. I think you have to look at the lads we already kno...
