Leicester Tigers

I don't think O H-C is uninterested (he's certainly not disinterested) yet something seems to have happened. Handre has not hit his straps, the back line seems to lack understanding and communication. Perhaps this is all down to a lack of an experienced and competent attack coach, perhaps the lack o...

Ooops!


So I did.

Saracens win to push us into 8th

I’ve never really understood the Tiger’s DNA talk, or when you hear about it in the media it’s massively misunderstood. The best ever Tigers team 01/02 yes had an amazing forward pack, strong set piece etc. But we played an all round 15 man game with the likes of Healey, Howard, Lloyd, Murphy in th...

Jordie Barratt has confirmed that the money he was offered was a big motivating factor.

I do not know what has happened to this once great club. We won the Championship 2 seasons ago but either side of that we have been served dross. Highly paid players who cannot give and receive passes, who miss what is in front of them, who run out of steam seem to be in the majority these days. A l...

Shillcock and O H-C don't seem like bargains now.

And, indeed, the schools themselves.

From next season Leinster will have 10 players on central contracts. That is, all 10 salaries will be met by the IRFU. This also means that they have an awfully large amount of salary cap free which is presumably how they can afford Jordie Barratt. And who else might they draft in? The situation is ...

Will Edwards at Quins is looking for a new berth. He did pretty well when Smith was away with the WC.

I understand that Prem teams have sponsorship from Qatar? Airways.

See the thread on the World Club Championship for confirmation.

Rob Baxter throwing doubt on the whole idea. IF it is properly funded and organised and IF there is profit in it for the clubs then he's OK with it. But, if it's the usual suck it and see he foresees many problems. Having to arrange a quick flight to France, for instance, is costing the club 10s of ...

Relocating to another city's football ground did London Welsh no favours. Yep, or as it turned out, Irish when they moved back into London. I do wonder about the rigour of the "business case" that is made for these moves. Saracens started out recruiting South Africans not just because of ...

Or try out Freddie in the centre
