Leicester Tigers

Anyone care to revise in the light of the Tigers v Barf, Glaws v Quins, Saffers v Falcons, Stains v Insects and Not Nots v Chiefs results?

Around the time of Castro re-signing Cockers, Cole and Castro were all quoted as saying they thrive from being in the same environment and that along with Whitey they have a group of tightheads they want to keep together. As I seem to remember it Dan's only complaint was that Castro didn't give free...

I know it is out of necessity but playing 4 flankers worries me again. 5 in the squad and Slater the only specialist 2nd row in the squad Back 5 offers plenty of mobility round the park however we may lack in the "grunt" department in the scrum and ability to dog it out at the breakdown. ...

I predict 1 in the East Midlands and 1 in Ireland.

I dont think adding another new cap would be the solution (for the coming World Cup). It would be when the present incumbent isn't up to the job. England need new blood at 12, 13 and 8 at the very least imho. And for those of you who argue that it would leave too few experienced / older players you...

In Rands for example?

Brilliant summary as ever, ZSF. I particularly liked the following extracts: Ugly scenes marred the Catalans-Basques game (Perpignan - Biarritz), to the amusement of the spectators. Rémy Martin took a huge hit in the face by Grégory Le Corvec, who is cited for his behaviour. There also was a rugby m...

No issue. Keep Toby at 10, Jonny on the bench, drop Hape and bring in Billy and Manu at 12 and 13. Simples.

If Brits's lineout is so shaky can anyone explain why Tigers did not attempt to contest the line out more? It appeared to me that most of the time we didn't jump at all just let Sarries have possession.

Same ethos and attitude shown when Julian White congratulated Manu on his try. He had a few words with him and before that shook Alex's hand for making the long pass.

That didn't turn out how I wanted it. I tried to paste a table in but I didnlt seem to work. So I'll summarise. Tigers current points 57 predicted + 15 = 72 Sarries current points 55 predicted +14 = 69 Glos current points 49 predicted +19 = 68 Bath current points 40 predicted + 19 = 59 I believe the...

Great try. Great game all round from Manu.

I also loved the bit after the try where Julian White congratulayed both Tuilagis.
