Leicester Tigers

He has made some bad decisions but is playing the head coaches game plan. This season started fairly badly and is going down hill, feels a little unfair to focus on him when as a team we are not the sum of our parts - in my opinion. You presume and then assume incorrectly. Mckellar said post match ...

Agree with RaginBull. So now let’s put it right v Exeter and Sale starting by trusting some of the youngsters like Carnduff, Vanes, FFT etc. into the squad or be really brave and put Cole, Montoya and Wiese on the bench especially if Heyes is fit! As for fitness: it’s an odd one as vLeinster and Ne...

These last few games seem born out of our poor and cheaper journey men recruitment over that last 2/3 seasons, and an inability to consistently bring talent through our academy. Now I appreciate we’re not millionaire own like bath so can’t go out and buy a new 1st team squad like they have, but sin...

Bristol were awful for 65 minutes, gave us so much attacking ball by trying to run from their own line, and we should have been 40 points up, not 19. Discipline has cost us again, as has lack of accuracy in attack. We managed to make Lahiff look like a good player. That's quite an astounding achiev...

Indeed but it must apply to everyone that resorts to abusive and/or threatening behaviour no matter who they are.

Disappointing game. Not a disaster - we were the better team for much of the game but failed to covert pressure to points a symptom of this season. Then brain fart moments in the last quarter of the game cost us the match. What was happening with Pollard and Kelly - who was running the back line? S...

Was at the game and you cannot blame Whitely: a) Pollard should have done a Ford, Floody or Burns and call for a few more phases to try to get a penalty or at least take the clock down. b) not Whiteley’s fault we didn’t kill the game when 19-0 up! c) Brown’s two cards very unfortunate: first one ca...

I for one am un dire need of good news...

Such as?

The 9 succession is currently JVP and Whiteley and the latter is a 4th choice 9 at his very best I actually really like the look of young Ollie Allan and think he can make an impact next season. (Edit: IF given the chance) I think Simmonds was a brilliant scrum half prior to injury and that put pay...

Why did JvP come off???? He didn’t look tired we have played Youngs for 70-80 mins before I don’t why we made so many subs earlier than Bristol? Front row could have stayed an extra 10 mins Totally agree! Seems to me Mckellar decided we had already won the game and brought on the dross and it was a...

What was better? Handling - fewer passes went behind/ over/ into touch. Cohesion - The defensive structure held together really well for 70 minutes What was worse/the same? We were mauling them to bits on their 5m line while they were playing 7s scoring opportunities going amiss Decision making. Ye...

The biggest gripe with the Mike Brown take is that I see Jasper get hit like that 10 times a game. But no punishment is given because he’s a hard git. The end result shouldn’t be a determining play. It needs to be reffed equally Van Rensenburg milked that penalty to perfection and acted like he had...

As ever, many people are fixating on the last 10 (or even last 2) minutes. For me, the first 70 minutes contained some of the most cohesive periods of our entire season. In attack, we maintained field position and thus pressure until they had a player binned. We then capitalised on that period and ...
