Leicester Tigers

I feel a little sorry for the club actually - they had obviously planned a day of important news and then the Manu element gets leaked - probably the reason Cockers was a bit peeved at Saturdays press conference. But blimey what a line-up - couldn't be happier - well I will be once I can get my anci...

All over various media outlets now so think we can safely assume deal done - Mick Cleary reports official announcement next week but that support from Tigers over last 12 months a major factor

Everything he posts makes me cringe!

Martin Crowson confirms Aguero signing so all being well its Ayerza and Aguero covering loose and Cole and Balmain the tight on Friday. Assume there must be a system for registering "emergency" signings for the Champions Cup?!

Hopefully as far as what the coaches feel is "full Strength," the two Munster games in December.

Hawkes Bay take it - massive shift from O'Connor!!!!

Hi all - don't want to split hairs here but we already have our 16 "First 15" fixtures - 11 Prem, 3 Euro and 2 KOTN - this is simply an early Academy/Development fixture so it doesn't replace a First 15 Fixture. Hope that helps.

Good stuff RB - only point I would make is Loamanu who is probably an out and out back now - can't see him ever playing in the pack, we are in a right mess if he does!! Incorrect into from Noddy - Irish away clashes with quarter finals which if my maths is right involves 8 teams!!! Argentina will ce...

With completion of the World Cup over those first two home games, Sunday was to be expected and a much better option than Fridays which is the most grim on the roads - particularly with a 300 mile round trip!! So relieved actually.

Can't understand why the fixtures haven't been released in tandem with the first set of televised games - all we know is the order but no idea of actual days, ko times - frustrating!

As you say, forwards seem to be really well covered - would like to see Manu and Tait given a go at 12/13.
Raging Bull - thanks for your efforts on this thread - top stuff!

Couldn't agree more Iain - love the trips but Toulon have turned it into a farce - will be cheering Clermont like mad!

Its almost like the start of a mini season - 5 wins give us a home semi, anything else is squeeky bum time. Team wise, would hope to see something like: Ayerza Youngs Cole Parling Kitchener Gibson Salvi Crane Youngs Burns Bai Goneva Morris Thompstone and Tait Reps: Ghiraldini Rizzo Logo Barbieri Pea...

All Six Nations on BBC matey. 8:05pm kick off
Very big call on Croft and Cole.

Agreed - you just have to write it off, dust yourself down and take it out on Irish. Anything that could go wrong did go wrong - would rather this happened in September rather than April!!
