Leicester Tigers

Byrne as a replacement for Sexton is a massive step down. Is there anyone else in the wings? Byrne's younger brother was on the bench he's a bit more attacking minded but maybe lacks some control. Byrne the younger was preferred by Ireland during the 6N for a squad spot. Sam Pendergast was the youn...

Seb Smith was the replacement hooker, I think. Yes, correct. Hit his throw well. First appearance for a senior Leicester team I think. Archie Vanes was originally named as the replacement hooker, did he pull out injured? This is a good result for the club, not only does it point towards a positive ...

https://www.rugbypass.com/news/rugby-transfers-fissler-confidential-wallaby-medical-england-prop-set-to-be-dumped/ Slightly odd move from Exeter in signing Hunter Paisami, given they already have Hawkins and Slade? Might indicate that Devoto is off. If Harry Williams is available on the (very) chea...

With Brown banned do we start Kata on the wing or maybe give Kinder a try? I didn't see yesterday's game but it Kinder impressed then why not. Sends a clear message to the youngsters, if you show good form there's a path to the first team. Kinder is an England age grade player and England age grade...

Hopkinson on the bench who's come on for Carnduff has been playing Championship rugby for Doncaster and is 23.

Two touchline conversions for Wilkinson and it sounds like he's playing well. Glad he's getting a chance, he looked good at Sale and is better than just making up the numbers.

we have what 2 games left? I'd take the 5 week ban and tell them to shove their presentation Then the three games carry over to the start of next season. Says so in the verdict. Irrespective of what you think of the officiating this is rugby and aiming bad language at the match officials is not acc...

I couldn't agree more, together with his feistiness and a do "everything" to win attitude. Ii couldn’t agree less. Depends what you mean by ‘passion’? Didn’t do Cockers much good in the end, did it? Was Deano ‘passionate’ and ‘feisty’ as a coach or calm, collected and calculating? What ab...

Be a good chance to look at some younger Georgian props who aren't capped yet and maybe get in there before any of the French sides do.

Bit harsh when Montoya is the best in the league at his position, Gonzalez starting every week at 6 for Saracens & cutting up. Cinti is starting regularly in a variety of positions for Saracens too. Bello playing well for Newcastle. Rubiolo has suffered with injury post RWC, and Montoya & O...

I’m surprised we’ve not used Montoya’s expertise, knowledge and persuasive powers to encourage the odd promising young Argentine prop over lured by a few quid and an opportunity to improve their game against top opposition. If only we could find the new Marcos Ayerza …. Now that was a LH who comman...

Hopefully he getting back to full fitness and might get a run out before the end of the season.

Presuming options in the backs are limited outside of the First XV, (Potter unknown), but there are some forwards who could/should have played this week George Martin has hardly worn out his 23/24 Tigers Shirt. Good to see some of the young players but they could do with a couple of "minders&q...
