Leicester Tigers

When you've got a top 2 international side already what you need to do is have a couple of worldie fantasy selections.

Taniela Tupou to follow it seems.

Good for them. They’ve got a very mediocre set of backs so hopefully this will be the making of them.

Nic Dolly signs for Western Force.

I enjoy Dayglo as a pundit. He’s the Saruman to Jonny W’s Bilbo Baggins. I would prefer to not see him pop up in a towel anymore though.

We need an 8/6. Why would we let Koroiyadi go?! Especially after we let Chester Owen go from the academy and he looked the more promising ball carrier.

We have Carnduff/Manz @6. We have Beets @8. I don't see where Koroiyadi fits anymore.

There was a post made a few weeks ago that seemed to suggest that a significant signing/s had been made completely under the radar (not any of the three announced already), are you adding fuel to the fire?

Telegraph & Mail reporting Matt O’Connor about to be confirmed as new attack coach. Telegraph also suggesting George Martin has NFL break clause in his contract which the San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears are looking to activate at the end of the season!

Oh dear, an eye injury isn't good! I thought it was a broken jaw from his reaction. Caught the full force of a Lowe hand-off!

From the Crumbie; Cloete (Bath 7) decided to have a go at Pollard, pinned him to the floor and there was a bit of throat-grabbing and face-palming until Kata shoulder charged him off. It was a bit more than push and shove but nothing citing-worthy.

Our Younger daughter has ex Saints player as partner, she is now full on Saints, how am I going to cope with them next week? :smt017 Ouch! Very sorry to hear that. I don't know what the legal position is on divorcing one's offspring. Failing that you could move and not notify her and her partner of...

I just wish he hadn't just spent 2 months with his Japan/France based teammates comparing contracts!

Looks like his early return from SA might have been via Paris rather than straight to UK! How can we compete?

RE our South Africans and their victory parades:
Seems Jasper has been spotted at Johannesburg airport about to board a flight back to the UK (so not staying for them all, after all).

Being relaxed about when the South Africans come back might also be a way to give a subtle statement of confidence to Shillcock & Rogerson (& others) essentially saying 'You're not just placeholders for the big guns who we will drop as soon as they come back in. We are comfortable with you g...

Might be an unpopular take but if I was in the club's shoes I'd let them enjoy the whole week (given, Pollard aside, this is generally a once in a lifetime achievement and the scale of happiness this seems to have ignited in SA) and tell them to come in once they've had a day or so back in the count...
