Leicester Tigers

Apparently there are rumours that Bulls are leaving a lot of their stars at home for the QF. Shame if true. I saw a story that the team have to travel over on about 8 different flights, all at different time Not ideal prep. Yes, Bulls from Pretoria that just confirms the lunacy why Saffer sides are...

I think that that match would be in Toulouse as Toulouse were seeded 1st after the pool matches.

Saturday 13th: Bordeaux/Bègles v Harlequins - For B/B, Damian Penaud may not be fit, prop Jefferson Poirot (a splendid name!) is definitely out but fly half Matthieu Jalibert is available for selection. Leinster v La Rochelle - no selection news yet Northampton v Bulls - .. Sunday 14th: Toulouse v E...

Northampton may be rivals of Tigers, but I was delighted with the manner in which they beat Munster and I sincerely hope they'll beat Bulls in the Quarter final, aSouth African side that has no place in the Champions' Cup.

Sadly, for Racing, there'll be without their first choice half backs, Nolann le Garrec and Antoine Gibert. Here are the teams: Toulouse 15. Kinghorn ; 14. Ma...

Pleased Zac Henry is getting massive praise for his Fly Half play at Stade. To play as well as he did with PAU whilst his poor dad was so ill was a huge credit to Zac and the encouragement of his father who did, sadly, pass away.
