Leicester Tigers

Why on earth are we going for the points? Because it was 1 minute away from half time and it puts us within a converted try. Not an easy kick to touch either. Sale have a big pack we weren't likely to maul over from a way out. Would have had to be an exceptional kick to get 5m out and after the las...

Clare threw it to where no Tigers were standing. The look on Wells said it all.

Replay returns in time but he goes over the top of him. No direct head contact.

He does read the game very well.

We lasted 9 minutes with 15 on the field this week.. If Andrews had got the red he deserved it wouldn't have happened. No idea how the TMO missed it. Didn’t see it what happened? Dived into the ruck off his feet. No control straight to Cole's jaw. Exactly the type of "clearout" that they ...

We not reviewing the show to Cole's head at the ruck then? Cole's holding his jaw.

Regarding captaincy I do recall an A League of Premier Cup.match over at Loughborough when I was very impressed with the captaincy of a young Tommy Reffell, not just decision making but the way he moved around encouraging his players some of whom were senior to him.In experience. Tommy was Wales U2...

My concern is that, as it stands , next season's squad looks weaker than this season's- and we've had a really poor year.... To be fair, you could have said that about Exeter's (as an example) from last to this and they have had a barnstorming year because they have had continuity of coaching, play...

Seems to be some whispers that Jasper will be playing for the Bulls next season, has anyone else heard this? He seemed to confirm it, in a backwards way, on a podcast hosted by Juan de Jongh & another South African player. Not quite sure why Bulls haven't announced it though? IDK Clubs do put a...

FACT

Does feel like some people want some drama to make up for the fact we won't make the playoffs.

I am getting a little worried about player depth at certain positions. In contrast to Saints who were thin at 10 and have just recruited two good players to compete with Smith and Furbank, we seem to be heading in the other direction...and at present, we seem to be losing more backs than we are rec...

Especially as with the South African test schedule we aren’t going to see much, if anything of Pollard before December The Rugby Championship clashes with round 1 & 2 of the Premiership, there are then 4 further rounds before the Autumn release window. Presuming no injury or ban, I'd expect him...

It's worth noting that Freddie Steward played 13 for Loughborough University when he had a spell there. Not sure if he played alongside Dan Kelly at 12 as Loughborough Uni have effectively two squads with one for BUCS and one for the national league. Dan and Freddie certainly know each other well, t...

The wonder back is off to Leinster... There are others than Jordie Barrett Lozowski plays 10 & 13 Also AViewFromLe2 pointed out on Twitter that Sam James is leaving Sale, now I think he's rumoured off to France, but he's a 13 who covers 12, 10 & 15 He's 29 so I'd presume he's off for a pay ...
