Leicester Tigers

The French rules about non-Kolpak players on the pitch are very similar to ours, the big difference is on the work permit front, they do not have to be international if a French club wants them, so they are able to recruit promising youngters. I don't know the current position but at the beginning o...

Hernandez is bright enough to see how Loffreda is being treated, can't blame himfor not wanting to come into a poisonous atmosphere

Le Parisien (usually reliable) reports that Hernandez is not only staying put but extending his contract.

Is it not the Mail where a certain Neil Back has his column.

Queen Victoria is dead Ze Stade Fan as Tigers will be in a few years if they carry on in this back-stabbing incestuous way.

Loffreda's treatment is disgusting

An ex-Tigers fan

He got sent off for telling the ref he was a prat.

Well said Countess, he needs time and his own team in place. He needs a preseason with the players.

The players seem unable to think,to use a bit of intelligence. This has been the same for some time, he can't be expected to change it overnight.

Hernandez still often plays fullback for Paris, I would expect him to do so this evening if Beauxis is starting,even thogh Beauxis can play at fullback.

I think that there has been a big difference creeping into the crowd since Tudor stopped commentating.He always managed to hint that the team could do with a bit of vocal help. I now live in France and have only seen Tigers live 5 times this season. My french team is Stade Francais and the differenc...

Paris sent in nearly their entire academy against Clermont, 11 with no top 14 starts and they played with tremendous passion and not a little skill but were always going to be hammered. Toulouse sent a second team which should have been able to give the confidence lacking Stade Francais a run for th...

Hernandez's kicking is very much improved. Diego Dominguez is helping him. He's around 78% plus he has scored 8 drop goals in the french league this season.

He is starting at flyhalf for Paris against Toulouse tomorrow night at 9.00 om french time (8.00 p.m. UK) it is on Eurosport UK live.

Mauger does not count as a overseas player as he has a french passport as his mother is from Taihiti

What worries me is that my source is someone who is liable to know. Having met several people who knew Stanko well in Albi to find out that he is a great player for about half a match a month, I do worry that Tigers medical tests may not be all they ought to be. I know some injured players are recru...

I presume he had a thorough medical before joining, as I have heard some rather disturbing things about his fitness (or rather lack of it) during the last two seasons.

Totally agree Nik

WELL DONE GOODEY
