I'll be surprised if Sarries let this lead go.

The fat lady has even got to get feet, yet!

Pundits had Leinster by a hatful......

Got trashed a bit for saying this would happen, some sages told me it would all be over by now and I was fear mongering. 💣 There there, never mind. You can now bask in the knowledge that you were in fact correct. Sorry not basking. Wish I had been wrong, I wanted to go to this match above all this ...

According to Rugbrama, the match could be in doubt, because there have apparently been cases of Covid in the Castres club and with the sharp increase of cases in England, the Castres squad have not yet left home and are awaiting developments.

I might well be missing something here, but it seems that current testing levels are still below capacity according to the government figures - by more than 30,000 a day (for pillar 1&2). Latest figures....https://coronavirus.da...

Winning for me is trophies in the cabinet. I agree that currently Edinburgh look closer to winning something than Tigers but neither has won anything for a while!

Kockott at 9 for Castres is a typical scrum half. Mouthy, very annoying and normally a pain in the proverbial. We need to keep an eye on him.

They are going to get obliterated any which way and , methinks, poor Boyd will be chopped before Murphy.

You don't let go of that bone, do you>

Interesting and thoughtful article. The reference to Digby Jones, possibly one of the most useless people to have on the Board!
Many decry the 'former Tigers' bias at the club, yet Moore sees that dynastic element as having served England well.
Thanks for posting it!

Still thinking we need a defence coach after today? Perhaps that comment of Ellis's about not executing the plan was spot on?
