Leicester Tigers

Surely we’d go stronger for a final? Including Cronin/Montoya/wiese/youngs/pollard minimum I was querying it in terms of eligibility. Commentary has said Montoya etc not eligible. Good question but I don't know the rules but suspect that the team we have now will be what we have for the final if we...

Could the De Bruin be a swap with Hurd potentially? We could do without 3 of our TH's being in international setups. A Scottish team may want him as a Scotland prospect for the SRU to have more control? Not saying he's going, but wouldn't shock me Fair comment. I'd rather not lose Hurd. He's a Leic...

What sport are you watching?
rugby union is 15 a side = 30 players

You've not allowed for those in the Sin Bin.

Do defences really dominate now ? Take the Five Nations of 1973 as an example; the biggest single score was Wales' 25 against England. Otherwise 10-9, 14-6, 12-3 and 6-4 are representative examples that year. The rose-tinted specs always paint the good ol' days as an era of beautiful, free-flowing ...

Still not convinced Dingwall is what England need at 12. Other than the try I only noticed him missing tackles. I thought Steward had his best game for a while, needs longer studs though. Pack fronted up well, but probably need a brute like Martin in there. If you pick Martin, in which position and...

Just a light hearted question, if LH is 1, Hooker is 2, TH is 3, why are repacements LH17, H16, TH18?

Its difficult to put your finger on who is not performing for England but as a team its everyone at moment.

England flat as a pancake in attack!!

We dont keep hold of the ball for long enough when we win it, after about 5 passes we kick it, Wales keep it for 20 odd phases.

Is there a ref in the whole wide world that meets your standards?

Possibly a bit early to write off a 19 year old after half an hour of international rugby, in which he didn't really do anything wrong or look out of place. He's 6th in the Top14 for tackles broken (more per game than Skelton so far this season), and averages nearly 40m per game, so he's hardly ine...

How about trying to sign young Tuilagi, I recon he could be a great carrying 8, we wouldnt have to lift him at 8

It was a great first half - so much attacking running rugby. So glad I was there. Such improvement over the season which was always going to be difficult. Its such a shame that there weren't more people to support the team. Most probably because it was 6N weekend, dates need careful planning to avo...

That was a classic moment :smt044 Brilliant,loved it! https://www.ruck.co.uk/scotland-and-argentina-have-20-man-brawl-julian-montoya-delivers-two-brilliant-insults/ For those who do not recall the incident. Thank you for that, I will check it out later, I couldn't remember it happening.

Thanks for info, anymore details, are they still there etc? Why did we play them there?

Another Welsh Legend gone, they dont make them as good as this these days, so sad to hear this.
