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...

I think Steward should only play as a 15, reading between the lines in last weeks DT interview, that is his prefered position, he also wants to practise what he was told to do by SB and he cant do that from the wing and still regain his England position. We want a happy Freddie at Tigers not one wh...

Excellent news.

The senior development squad of rumoured to be 12 is the odd one. Upper age limit of 24 I saw mooted but didn't give a lower age limit. Be a really stupid idea to limit the number of development players a club can carry if the idea is to push England age grade into action more readily. Perhaps a jun...

Lot of talk about the officials and some of their decisions. We were lucky they disallowed the Oghre try - looked a flat pass to me. I was in line with it. It was forward. Not by very much. Can’t remember if it was the lineo that called it. The same lineo who missed the utterly obvious knock on tha...
