Leicester Tigers

Always was in 2 minds about Manu. At his best he was a star for the club and responsible for one of my favorite nights at Welford Road (V South Africa with my now passed dad). but the way that he left after having spent so much of his time at the club on the sidelines still rubs a bit raw. Yes, thi...

All discussions tigers will always eventually end up about Loffreda It is a fair comparison, no? I appreciate it was 16 years ago at this point, but a coach coming in, affected by World Cup year. Purely based on league results - 1999/00 - Dean Richards - Finished 1st - Champions 2003/04 - Dean Rich...

Blimey, and there was me thinking you were an unsung genius!

excellent report!

Olowefela and Odogwu should be included in the chat about wingers that didn't make it here, the latter becoming an Italian international Once again, you have the situation of defensive fraility or large egos (2 former u20 10s come to mind) at a young stage, and clubs deciding departure is best for ...

Nope. the jury's out for some like me.

When Alex Lewington left us, AlexTuilagi was still playing as was Geordan Murphy and we had Matt Tait, Scott Hamilton and I think Horatio Agulla possibly.others, opportunities on the wing were limited for a young player. There have been a few young players leave to play regularly at a lower level a...

Neither Bob Dwyer nor Matt O'Connor were exactly reticent in expressing their feelings about Tigers dispensing with their services. Deano was unfairly sacked after his aging and tired team couldn't regain former form following the England World Cup win, he did sign Ramiro Pez though. There were peo...

don't be silly Scott. Leinster, of course. And for the semi

I won't be watching, as I consider, and have done for some time, that this is a massively biased/fixed/uneven etc competition. I also hate the baloney about Leinster - they have huge advantages that can only be nullified by the big money French. I remember Donncha O'C commenting on how they'd never ...

Mate, same old, same old. We're a club, you're a region used as the base for the Irish squad. None of ours are superclubs, except Sarries when they were running their scams. Get off it, you've been running the same excuse for years now. Boring. You seem to be labouring under the illision that I'm a...

I don't know why many teams bother when you end up playing 90% of the current 2nd in the world squad. Never been a level playing field. According to Wikipedia, England has five times more adult male players than Ireland. All other things being equal (and that's not necessarily true), if Ireland has...
