Leicester Tigers

Tight heads coming through include Osman Dimen and James Whitcombe, I'm hoping they will get some game time over the next 12 months or so.

It's nice to have options rather than looking for my boots in case I'm needed, depth, yoof and quality in key positions sounds like a plan to me, another thing that perhaps has been missing in recent times.

I think he’s a significantly better player than Taute.

But we don't know that he is still up to speed with playing Union, we don't want any passengers, he's a risk that might pay off, or it might not. Taute is a known quantity with obvious skills in the Union game.

I quite liked Burrell as a player, he somehow didn't seem to just hit his best somehow, maybe Deano can get the best out of him.

Tigers would have to do 14 days quarantine if they went to France surely?

Well managed yellow cards period well, Steward kicks a huge penalty too.

Vital 10 minutes

That Clermont v Toulouse match looks like it was an exciting game, two very strong teams.

Leinster are a great side, but the way they are run is very different to how the Premiership sides are, they can pretty much pay their players what they want. They get prime choice of players, ask an Ulster or Munster fan how fair they think the Irish regional system is. Not really comparing like fo...

I don't see it this way. Pitching Saints as the team we must beat is an emotional response, and emotion is what causes the problems. Saints are one team of 11 we need to beat over a season and nothing more. It's all in the mind and if we allow emotion to enter the mind we start to lose control. Hav...

Ever hopeful, beating our Midlands rival is always satisfying and this team look good enough to do it
COME ON YOU TIGERRrrrsssss

Ellis is unlikely to be available.
