Leicester Tigers

What a poor game from both sides yet again. It's the Warren and Rassie ego show. This Lions side is too predictable. Genge, Ritchie and Underhill should be amongst it up front. Care should be there, ideal player against a side like South Africa with players such as Adams, Rees-Zammit and Watson in y...

Terrible game.
80 minutes of mostly kicking and knock ons.
Watching the 100 cricket was more interesting.

The Lions had bits of good fortune with the disallowed Le Roux try and the tip tackle not being looked at. The consistency is frustrating as I have seen Tigers players carded for much less. Of the two teams South Africa tried to play more but their discipline got sloppy in the third quarter. Farrell...

Agree about Owens. Excellent to have him involved on comms. We all have our opinions about players. I’ve read just two player ratings- One gave Conan an 8 the other a 5. Similarly one gave Furlough a 6 the other gave him a 9. Worth noting that on one the collective score for RSA was way higher than...

Whenever a Lions team is published a question always seems to pop up in my mind. (Firstly full disclosure: I am a Lions sceptic always have been. It seems faintly ridiculous to me that four home nations gang up to play one SH nation). Anyway the question I ask myself is would that selected Lions te...

Tom Curry is the same weight as Faletau and heavier than Simmons, only Conan weighs more and its only 4kg, as I said in my post previously Curry and Watson have been our best carriers this tour as well as the best breakdown threat, the idea has merit for me Mako is bigger than all of them and still...

Difficult to judge 10's in England as much of the ball is so slow and narrow up front.
It might all be about to change anyway with the new 50:22 law.

Whats wrong with that? Nothing if you want the scrum to get mullered some more.

Is that really the best that all of Britain and Ireland can come up with?

Both, with the latter contributing to the former. As an example, USA frequently challenged Freddy Steward under the high ball, putting him off on occasion and restricting his ability to attack. Canada hardly ever did, giving him a much easier ride and better opportunities to attack, which he did qu...

England executed far better that a week earlier. Great for Harry Wells to claim full international recognition.. Did England execute better or were Canada not as good as the USA?
