Leicester Tigers

Just finished watching the game live.

Defence was good - Jersey couldn’t cope with line speed at all. Hosea had some nice touches and unsurprisingly Ben Youngs looked good when he came on.

Otherwise looked pretty rusty particularly the line out.

Like others glad this series had ended and doesn’t feel anywhere near as cutting as England’s loss in the World Cup final. I hope the next World Cup isn’t won by a team playing like that. Thankfully Russell came on and played some rugby in the final test. I watched all the tests and have some great ...

Can someone explain that TMO decision, I know it was a tigers player involved but the TMO said we have another angle to show the ref and he bombed it off before seeing it; Jasper went shoulder first into the back of a player, the ref made the request of potential foul play then seemed to refuse to ...

So much better with Russell at 10.

Those look like pre-COVID numbers for some. Would be very surprised if Ben Youngs is still on £350k. Sounds like Ben's salary pre contract renewal, he took a pay cut to stay when May opted to not follow suit and go back to Glaws. Yep, probably from a rumour pre contract renewal. The thing thats har...

I know South Africa are world champs but the reason for this is that - they fluked their way to the final having been beaten comfortably by New Zealand. Then a combination of Eddie Jones selectorial stubbornness and Sinckler getting KO’d early on gave them the World Cup. The Lions should beat them,...

South Africa A 14 - 17 Vodacom Bulls, Cape Town Stadium Kudos to Jake White , the Bulls Head Coach , for not letting this turn into a training exercise for the Springboks.... Looked seriously angry with his teams performance at half time and got a response. Interestingly enough of the two South Afr...

Wasn't there a picture of him holding a tacklebag?

Yep

Phew, thanks!

Could be right but that's overkill for me and doesn't fit in with Eddie's methods. He likes the 6/2 split and iirc even if uses a 5/3 split I don't recall him ever having an out and out 10 on the bench. Especially if he continues to use Slade in his 23s. True it could be overkill, but he's shown he...

Saw on instagram that Charlie Barraclough (2/6) Finn Carnduff (4/6) Morgan Meredith (10) Joe Woodward (10,12,13,15) George Loose (10, 12, 13, 15) Got called up to the England U18 training camp 3 who can play 10 and 2 centres is a good fit for us. Hopefully see them in Tigers 1st team in a couple of...

Shame no MacGinty, likely would have made a big difference.

I disagree about kick tennis.. I think Ford will be relishing this new rule change and with our rolling maul I can only see this helping our style of play. Hopefully it will mean less aimless box kicking and more kicking for the corner and to touch Why does the rule change mean that the rolling mau...
