Leicester Tigers

Surely competitive sport should be the ultimate expression of a meritocracy - the best rising to the top on merit!

Farrell would be the exception to prove this rule, then?

I know it's traditional for the 'player's player' of the year to go to someone who hasn't been dragged off to the internationals but I can't see past OTY. The man is a machine who gives us go-forward, tackles, chases and embodies everything that is great about Tigers.

Also, Parra might be banned after getting a red card for a headbutt on saturday. Having watched some of Clermont at home this season, they haven't been as convincing as they have been in previous seasons. If Tigers play like they did against Toulon last year, they will have every chance of winning....

Agreed with all of the above... until you said, "Newcastle, another difficult fixture". They have won 3 and lost 12 this year. I would hope that we will show them due respect but anything less than a comfortable win (preferably 5 points, subject to the conditions) would be a poor result; ...

Again we had a different team out yet managed a win. Thought Dan Bowden was superb particularly as his eyes still showed signs of the horrible injury he got! Williams good too with Ben Youngs showing far more confidence. Just well done then to the whole lot of you for battling through tough times. ...

Waldrom off. Need to keep hold of the ball for 10 minutes

We really need to build a lead early in the 2nd half because LI have so much pace to bring on towards the back end of the game

The only wrong call Doyle has really made so far is the penalty against salvi for not releasing when he was never a part of a tackle. The rest is down to our own poor discipline, stupidity and profligacy So far anyway I thought Crane's knock-on was marginal and Doyle is very quick to blow for holdi...

Irish referee, following an Irish defeat last night, is this right?

Well i'm hoping that because it was a jaw injury. not a leg of arm or shoulder injury. His match fitness wont be as bad. Maybe cockers knew this before the team were announced. I thought it was an eye socket injury? That's Heptema. I thought Bowden broke his jaw. maybe eye socket aswell. http://www...

What has happened to Billy Twelvetrees, offering nothing at all, disappointing. Sorry tb - I think you were watching a different game than most of us - I was there at HQ yesterday with two Wasp fans and we all thought 36 played a VG game - what you may not have seen on the TV at home is the amount ...
