Leicester Tigers

Amazing that Lavanini hasn’t given away a penalty yet! . Also, nice to see Montoya on form - and not wearing a knee-strengthener. He looks to have lost a little weight too?

Maybe he didn’t know that Bedford are a Sarries feeder club?

Drinks prices at Grace Road similar to Tigers’. I buy at both, to support the clubs as much as anything, but it’s also sociable to share a drink with friends while watching and commenting on the game on progress.

Those scrums!

Yup, agree with that comparison!

I hope you’re right re Smith but he seems to have plenty of misguided admirers

George Ford coming on - I suppose they have to see how the Smith-Farrell-Ford combo works but just hope they don’t break him!

George Martin made that!

Are there any former Wasps players in the England squad?

Sorry you’ve lost your dad, Big Dai. Be kind to yourself - it’s very early days. Probably too early to be following any reffing of Wales!

Was chatting to a Caldy supporter about the fact that BillyTwelvetrees has gone to Ealing… and I’ve just seen the score: Ealing 48, Saints 22 - and 36 wasn’t even playing!

Caldy staying out in the shade at halftime - good move! They’re doing better than I expected - helped by a few random reffing decisions! We seem to be trying too hard and so muffing chances.
