Re: Billy Vunipola arrested

I was in Palma last week. There was a very heavy police presence (helicopters, armed officers, dogs) so it seems the authorities were aware that a Saracens contingent were arriving.

Re: Doom and Gloom

Perhaps a naive query, but here I go. What is Aled actually doing with the England set up when there is only planning to do? Is he visiting clubs to check on players - advise them? My point is, is there any way he could be re-hired as a part-time consultant? Ollie Richardson (present Head of S&...

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2022

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.

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2022

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

Re: Autumn Series 2024

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.

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

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.

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).
