Leicester Tigers

Never rains but it pours for Tigers! How unlucky to have Hurd, Reffell and Henderson all out for this massive game. I’m off to Quins but I’ve never played prop so won’t take my boots: too old anyway!! Definitely not recommended even if you wanted to Ian. I once propped at TH against the RAF LH. Onl...

I suppose the way I look at it is that if Ireland beat England or any other international side by that margin then it would not be seen as a disgrace or even a surprise. The disappointment is only in that it could have been even better from us. I have been thinking similar in the last few days. If ...

The wind will have been a huge factor for the kickers on Saturday. Both sides had inaccuracies and both scrum halves kicked too long with the wind behind, and too short kicking into the wind. Throughout the match I could see the 2 flags on top of the Crumbie blowing in 2 different directions. Pollar...

On the positive if we can get the ball to OHC in a bit of space, things could look a lot brighter. Watching from the A&L, the difference between the attacking patterns of the 2 sides was enormous, we look like a side that met in the car park at times. We looked shot at Full Time, even a deplete...

So, let's be frank, there is only one result happening. Whilst this is undoubtedly true, it'll be a, packed house down at WR, there's beer on sale, it's about ten degrees warmer than it's been all week... I'm looking forward to getting down to the ground with some mates and cheering the Tigers on. ...

La Rochelle have picked a number 8 at 12.... Botia who has played in both the back row and centres at 7... Will be interesting how that lines up vs Sale So really we need a point out of tomorrow because with selections like that you can see Sale winning, La Rochelle getting 2 BPs and Tigers being o...

With the Terrace sold out for Saturday's match I hope we'll find some 1st choice stewards doing the job properly for a change. The last couple of games there's been no effective stewards keeping the access path clear of the predictable groups who arrive 5 minutes before KO. Directly opposite you we...

If for no other reason, we need people through the turnstiles and if you start putting out weakened teams for home matches, those numbers are going to start dropping. At the very least, every home match should have as much of a first team out as possible to show respect to the fans if nothing else....

More like a Reliant Robin :smt003 🎶 Three wheels on my wagon…….!! Definitely showing some age there! I was just trying to draw the analogy between something very expensive, up to date, and race tuned being pursued by technology, which although worthy enough in its day, has now become obsolete and v...

I must admit to being a little bemused that Simmons is not in the squad. No apparent injury and done well recently. I would have thought another outing could consolidate his hard work and give some continuity that will not be there with returning injuries. He hasn't played alot so shouldn't need a r...

Sadly not surprised that tackle whilst he was in the air should have been reviewed and it only was not because it happened in the first 5 mins of the game. In my opinion Pearce bottled it Not for me - just a rugby collision with two players competing in the air And that's not for me. I didn't see a...

Sale seem out of sorts tonight

I think Weise will stay in the Prem. My bet is either Bristol or Sarries to replace "more senior No.8's"who could be moving on. They seem to be 2 of the few clubs who seem to muster up the money to outspend others. No intel, just a hunch.

Over 20 years ago I took a local clubs u16 side down as the invitation side to play in Towcestrians 10s tournament. As the only non Northamptonshire side we upset a few by coming away with the trophy. In our squad was a certain English tight head I'm not surprised they were upset if you entered an ...

I don't think even Yorkshire can do talking Rhinos

If they could, the first thing they would say would involve telling you they were from Yorkshire.

Indeed! I have 2 daughters in law from Yorkshire, and I am from Lancashire. Deep joy!!
