Leicester Tigers

Italy did not play to win the game, they came to spoil the game and this they achieved. In the process Italy dumped what we call the "spirit of rugby" and in the long term did themselves no favours. If this is how they want to play, let them play against Georgia and then hopefully we will...

Rip 'em apart England, send Lawes into a few rib cages, after all that's legal too. I did question why Danny Care didn't give it to one of the Italian players standing on the England side with Lawes steaming at pace at the unguarded kidney/lumbar region. Coming from the blindside like that a couple...

I just can't see what AM is bringing to the club....no game plan, no attack, no skills....I'm not one to call for heads but I think he has to go.

No expert but unless GF's contract explicitly mentions a block on him joining Tigers there is nowt Bath can do....even if there was, it's unlikely it's enforceable.

Mind you, a DoR would have to be insane to let a player like that go.

He reminds me of a player we used to have, started out well but then every time he came on the pitch conceded penalty after penalty..

Mind you they say we won against Sarries in the headline....

Firstly a man jumping in the air is putting himself in danger. Secondly it is often very difficult to get out of the way. Thirdly we are now encouraging people to jump for no reason.. Saturdays example showed north jumping for a ball there was no need to jump for. In my mind he did it to red card a...

It's a tough one, discussion with Saints fans near us and the consensus was that North was lucky not to be penalised as he jumped into a stationary Thompstone, (Not watched the play back yet mind)

Could someone who was watching on telly or watched the replay confirm for me what happened with Bath's disallowed try in the Crumbie/Clubhouse corner? It went to a TMO - we felt it should have been a penalty to us because the Bath winger jumped the tackle. Was that ever part of the consideration or...

oh great, I was going to watch this on TV but it clashes with a match I have to go to at Welford road!!

it is embarrassing

Its dreadful. Manu is all over the place...but not in a good way,,,

and the shoulder check to open the space for the first try

Lee has said he took it as banter but also accepted the apology (which seems to have been genuine). For me this is a positive example in how to behave after making a mistake. It's not the mistake, it's the way you behave afterwards. This constant call for witch hunts in the media and social media do...

Very sad news. I once bumped into him in the city centre , he didn't seem to notice and carried on down High street in his shorts and flip-flops...it was the middle of winter....
