Leicester Tigers

Here's the article penned by Charles Richardson, who is one of the better rugby journos. Leicester’s season has not been good enough but Dan McKellar needs more time With a large churn in coaching staff and significant injuries, Leicester head coach has excuses for his side’s under-performance Charl...

Watched highlights of the Castres Montpellier game, which from what I could see Montpellier should have won. No sign of Sam Simmonds from what I could see. Is he injured ? He must have had a quiet game because he was selected at 7 and was substituted in the 66th minute!! They were short highlights ...

Round 23 results: Toulouse 49 Stade Français 18 (an emphatic bp win for Toulouse takes them to top of the table) Perpignan 28 Clermont 35 (a rare away win for Clermont gives them a chance of qualifying for next season's Champions' Cup) Castres 27 Montpellier 26 Pau 39 Oyonnax 17 Racing 28 Bayonne 37...

I believe her marital name would be Easterby but chosen surname is to honour her legendary father

Marbles?

A legend of Neath and Wales

Ahh! Rees. and there was I thinking it was Elgin Marbles!

Round 23 of 26 is this weekend: Perpignan v Clermont Castres v Montpellier (as it stands, Montpellier will have to visit the ProD2 runner up in a play-off match to stay in the Top14) Pau v Oyonnax (end of season play-offs seem unlikely for Pau and Oyonnax are as good as relegated) Racing v Bayonne T...

That was a bit too close for comfort with Quins winning the second half.

Toulouse will need to play high risk off-loading rugby to get past Leinster and by keeping mistakes to an absolute minimum, but sadly I can't see them winning.

Allez Toulouse!! 31-12 at half time is better expected!

Here's the Toulouse side for Sunday's match against Harlequins at the Toulouse Football club's stadium: 15. Blair Kinghorn, 14. Juan Cruz Mallia, 13. Paul Costes, 12. Pita Ahki, 11. Matthis Lebel, 10. Romain Ntamack, 9. Antoine Dupont (c), 1. Cyril Baille, 2. Peato Mauvaka, 3. Dorian Aldegheri, 4. T...

Perry Freshwater will continue as Perpignan's scrum coach for at least another year, the job he's had since 2016. Perpignan are currently enjoying a renaissance having been at the wrong end of the Top14 table for the last couple of seasons, and have had to play-off against the runner-up of ProD2 in ...

Steve Kenny is the one on the right wearing a tie

Nick Joyce behind him?

He too, was to join Montpellier, before being thrown in the drunk tank.

There's a photo on the Tigers' website of a group of Leicester Tigers legends celebrated the 45th anniversary of the famous John Player cup win from the 1978/79 season.

Can anyone name them? Is that Peter Wheeler with one hand on the cup? If so, he's lost an awful lot of weight.

How the hell did they lose that? I was only following the score and thought it should’ve been sewn up , then when I next saw it was 19-14 I wasn’t surprised that Bristol nicked it. Supporters in the ground must’ve been really annoyed ( there’s another way of saying it but would’ve been censored!) an...
