Leicester Tigers

Having said that it was a great debut for Mulipola and I hope to see more of the big man this season. I think he's likely to be a loosehead option competing for the shirt with Marcos. Not with Castro broken. We have Marcos and Boris available at loose head, so Mulipola will be back-up for Dan Cole,

Smith seems to get a lot of unfair criticism on here IMHO. He may have gone wide on occasions but he was the only player to put pace on the game, was always looking for the ball and looked the most likely player to break the line.

It is not a crisis. The situation is exactly what the majority of clubs in Premier Rugby want, Tigers being brought back to the standard of the rest. That is the whole point of the wage cap.

NB not Tigers.

Would having owners and players based in SA be considered a loophole?

I think a lot of us saw the defeat coming but not the scale of it, which was a real shock to fans bred on success. We have been up against it all season, what with the world cup call-ups and all the injuries. As others have said, week after week Tigers have had "must win" games, just to re...

Agreed that Hawkins has improved a lot and has made a real impact lately but there is no need to denigrate George, who IMO never lets us down.
