Leicester Tigers

Well, we've just lost to the best two European international teams backed by possibly the worst European international referees. If we had cut out the errors today, we would have been in with a chance. This is what is killing us. Amen brother. Some on here need to realise that was a WC team bar a f...

Why do they always have a ref from their competition?

Can't see Ireland losing this one tbh. 20 pointer against the CLUB side.

Nottingham's troubles started in the 90s before professionalism. They were on the slide whem my son started in the u12s. They had a golden core of juniors but no development structure and a county/region only interested in selecting independent school boys. The grounds were worth far more as housing.

Mate, didn't I tell you this was coming early last year?

It's a housing estate now isn't it?

Yep. I looked at it and wept the last time I was down there. Some great memories when my lads were playing.

One of my boyhood heroes. Well 'ard, in an era of real hard players. RIP

Probably speaking too soon.... but I, also, think he's very much improved. He was 'dodgy' in the beginning that's for sure! I agree with this. There are certainly far worse and I would be happy to have him ref Tigers at the moment. .....just not against Quins! I thought he only became dodgy after t...

Be interesting to know if the central contract runs for the same length of time as the club contract. I recall Jonah Holmes being enticed away to further his Welsh career, join Newport Gwent Dragons on a club + Wales contract, then Wales decide Jonah is surplus to requirement and suddenly the guy i...

They're not doing them. Last year they struggled to get it all organised and it was all done very late and this year they have taken the decision not to do them. I understand that the feeling was it would only be a matter of time before the fun police put a stop to it. And there's me hoping they'd ...

It takes a season to mould a side from what is essentially scratch (at this level). The team by the end of the season won't look like it does now, and hopefully will have a collected a couple of wins.

Just need to say on FB some 'supporters' made misogynistic and demeaning comments about Rocky Clark. It's not banter, it's vile. And I am not a 'melt' or a 'snowflake' for objecting to this. Nobody should speak about a female, let alone rugby star, in that way. Women's rugby is growing. I teach seve...

I remember the chippie used to do better business than that, even the players went over there back in the 2000s.

Surely he would’ve preferred better?

I'm retiring!

Those fat fingers are out to get you again

Surely they're slimming as you train religiously for your half-marathon?

Football back in the leather-ball days would probably have even worse brain injury stats (if you're old enough to remember heading a wet case ball), especially when you note how many pro footballers got various types of dementia as they aged. However we don't have the luxury of introducing a light b...
