Leicester Tigers

What a good grouping of fixtures we start with. Realistically I don't see why we cant win 8 out of the first 10.

Here we go again, Richie McCaw cynically goes in at the side and gets away with just a penalty. Billy V tries a tackle, arm slips upwards... yellow card.

Wont comment on how I see the group going, will just enjoy the rugby.

See you soon,

I think Toulon will win the group, we will beat you at WR and you'll win over there and we'll all beat the Scarlets. Down to BP's if we can get through as a best of the runners Up.

He made a few bad calls - some for England some against, there was one CI - it went against England. That's it. But that is the point in it's entirety. He makes bad calls. You don't want to be involved in or watch a game when the ref makes one howler after another and in this game he messed up big ...

One day, just one day but maybe not in my life time, we may get to have a relatively easy group from which to qualify. Which of the rugby gods did we upset this year?

Er... what is attractive about going down to Llanelli?

If this is the return of what Freddie Burns can do... I am looking forward to seeing him at WR next season.

We all know he went off the boil last season, but I suggest that maybe just because he wasn't happy in his surroundings.

He is an absolute disgrace

I said so... Owens has his black shirt on

12-9 up... we can do this

Have I gone colour blind or is Nigel Owens wearing a Black shirt? Twice now he is no where near the ball and calls for knock ons where it is clear as day that the ball went backwards.

How can he be so sure of himself when he so blatantly wrong?

Albeit for one slightly over kicked punt, he is having a blinder

From a selfish point of view it's good he isn't playing. Let him get back into it fully next season then we'll see him back playing for England in the AI's and the 6N's.

He is just one player who just happens to be better than who currently wears the shirt.

The stupid situation of not picking players outside the country is proved wrong again! Lancaster/RFU must change that rule now to help WC chances :smt013 There should be a petition sent to the RFU to tell "The Old Farts" that we want success not stupid old fashioned rules. Stefon Armitage...

Where is the atmosphere? Are they playing this in a morgue?
