Leicester Tigers

Vastly under-rated, great player. I think Wasps have got it wrong letting him go.

Poor Owen. Let's hope Burns can step up.

Nine months!!!

I have no objection to the stadium having a roof. I do object to it being used during the 6N as it creates artificial conditions. The last time I checked, 15-a-side rugby union was an outdoor sport. I agree. Wales have closed the roof before now when the sun was shining and there was no rain in the...

Is that what it was? My sofa shook! It's not often the earth moves for me these days!!

I do hope Cipriani gets a chance.

I wonder why England has nearly as many injuries as Wales, France and Italy put together?

What about more mature female members? It is discrimination. Why can't we have a couple of fit, young men dressed as Tarzan to help us??

Well I'm looking forward to the Six Nations. I may end up with square eyes by the end of it, but so be it. Coffee and hot cross buns ready for the afternoon matches and something a little stronger for the later kick offs. I may need it for the France v. England match!

I listened to that interview on the BBC website a couple of days ago. Absolutely heart-breaking. A wonderful rugby player.

Having seen Williams play a couple of times last season, I would like to see more of him. Very confident for a young man. Flood should think twice about going to Toulon. Having watched them a couple of times this season, they may have some great players, but they don't always gel as a team. Oyannax ...

Personally I think all this long hair and, Heaven forbid, Alice bands as I saw one player wearing recently, is getting a bit much. Anyone would think they were footballers!

Oh I know the club will look after Flood, but too many severe knocks to the head is going to do no-one any good in the long term. Just as well the LRI is just across the road!!

Looking forward to watching this match tonight. I like Deano and I think his Bloodgate punishment was somewhat harsh. It will be interesting to follow Newcastle's progress this season. I am so glad we bit the bullet and signed up for BT Sport, although I could have square eyes by the end of the week...

There was also an article in the Telegraph earlier in week: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/10282064/Concussion-a-massive-problem-for-rugby-says-players-union-manager-David-Barnes.html Knocks like this are not good news for anyone and this the sescond time for Flood in the last few month...

Yes, I've seen that a couple of times. J P R Williams et al.

A true legend. :smt023 I was so disappointed when we went to the 2003 World Cup in Australia that Geordan was missing from the Ireland squad due to that awful fractured leg he suffered in one of the warm up matches. Ireland needed him. I'll miss his skill. Let's hope he can pass it on through his co...
