Leicester Tigers

Another example of the world gone mad. While I am distinctly not of the Daily Mail 'PC gone mad' type tendency, as someone who has worked as an education professional most of their working life, and as a child abuse investigator the rest of it, this is unbalanced in the context of child development...

Irish Team to start against France: Ireland: H Keenan; C Nash, R Henshaw, B Aki, J Lowe; J Crowley, J Gibson-Park; A Porter, D Sheehan, T Furlong; J McCarthy, T Beirne; P O'Mahony (capt), J van def Flier, C Doris. Replacements: R Kelleher, C Healy, F Bealham, J Ryan, R Baird, J Conan, C Murray, C F...

IMO the premiership win under Borthwick was an anomaly. We have then skipped from coach to coach and now have a high quality coach in place for less than a year, which happens to be World Cup year. I said at the beginning of the season that a PRC win and qualify for champions cup next season should...

It's bad enough filling in at flanker. TH? My old mucker Chris was a Welsh TH, Tom Smith size, and he still got injury after injury.

Realism would see that we will never have the resources nor the advantages of Leinster or most French sides. The cap is not £10m nor do we have the luxury of having a core international side (how many caps?) available for Europe and any crunch matches, while only playing 15 games a season (less inju...

I can't remember us having a decent attack/backs coach. On a couple of occasions since 2005 against Welsh and Irish opposition, I've quipped that with our forwards and their backs, we'd be lethal.

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?
