Leicester Tigers

Exter beating Saints 16-10

has anyone thought OTY is missing on purpose, as he wants to return to Leicester.

another thought is that Lawes is calling wrong and not reaching for OTY as he does for Hartley.

Play Mele and Williams next week. Flood no game management and poor kicking from hand. Can we practice chasing kicks this week. Great idea, just don't give our halfbacks time to gel, perhaps it's wise to keep chopping and changing which is what we have had to do so far due to injuries. Finally some...

No :censored: Sherlock take the top 2 try scorers in the backs out of any team and they would be in the bottom. (Maybe not Saracens)

BBC reporting he's in discussions with Barf Given that their recent signings, Eastmond and Joseph, play as centres and both have world cup aspirations, it would make for interesting times. On the financial side of things, if the RFU fund part of the transfer fee, and pay part of his wages, I would ...
