Leicester Tigers

That Gonzalez tackle is the best try saver we've seen for a very very long time

I really do wonder how Saracens are going to be going forward, it seems they've lost that killer edge they had previously and they are losing a really big chunk of their home grown experience. It seems a little reminiscent of what happened with us in the mid 2010's

Good spot, there is always a chance it was an oversight but it certainly could be a signings or kit reveal date

I'm really surprised we haven't seen any British XV's players throw their hat in for the Olympics like Dupont, Hooper or Keenan. Especially as the mens GB squad hasn't exactly been doing brilliantly in recent years since they lost the likes of Bibby, Burgess, Mitchel, Norton and Rodwell. It got me t...

Big big unit

Agreed, pretty athletic too. Really hope we're still keeping tabs on him!

Only managed to catch the 2nd half but it looks like Miell pulled out before the game started. Didn't see too much of Ollie Allan or Charlie Myall as they were both subbed early in the half although Myall definitely looked to be getting involved a lot and made one good crash ball run. Satala was alr...

I would say it was a rugby incident but I'm not surprised it was a red

Ultimate rugby lists as a Tigers player at least dual registered. Know nothing about him tbh Highly doubt he's dual registered, he played one friendly game (black lions) which won't have required registration. It was at a time we were struggling for fit locks (Chessum x2, Martin & Henderson all...

I would like to test the following back line:
15 Steward
I4 IFW
13 Freeman
12 Kelly
11 Sleighthome

I think the provisional squad without prem finalists is due this weekend

Looks like Nottingham may be signing one of our leavers... certainly looks like they may be getting an ex Tiger...

Would imagine it'll be one of Richardson, Cusick, Meredith or Koroiyadi

I seem to remember somebody finding an amateur team somewhere using a copy of the Tigers branding but with colours changed to Yellow and Black. I'm certain the logo in the OP would be in breach of copyright as it is a perfect copy with the colours changed. To be fair to the school are likely totall...

I notice Josh Poullet is leaving Notts, he seems to have been a player that we have relatively consistently called upon so I wonder if he could be coming in as depth?

Going to be quite hard finding places for these back rowers.

Fitting both Josh and Finn in is going to be interesting. You could move Finn into the 2nd row but we are hardly light on young talented locks either

Not a programme I normally watch but I tuned in to see Josh and he did himself proud, he came across really well and he definitely has a backup career if he needs it. That said from what I've seen of Josh playing rugby I think he should be pushing for first team rugby soon.
