Re: Vesty/Billy for next week? (Merged thread)

Vesty will be at a physical peak I'd guess,months of gym work and great diet with few collisions. I bet he's gagging for the responsibility and pressure of "big games" too judging by the way the boy stepped up last season. He will be the opposite of tired and the opposite of jaded. I say h...

Re: TV Coverage - ESPN

I get ESPN with my Virgin cable package. They have an HD channel for live events such as UFC and french top 14 rugby and the quality is quite excellent.

Re: Leicester v Clermont Auvergne

I think Tuquiri has looked really suspect under the high ball....suspect doing anything in fact, really. Wouldn't trust him at full back with the likely blitzkrieg of high balls into our 22 on Saturday.

Re: Best cheap christmas presents?

Got the lads at the Christmas supporters evening to sign a menu with personal comments encouraging my 12 YO son in his own rugby playing: "Dan's the man ! - Best wishes, Toby Flood" " Keep your tackle up! - Moodos" etc etc. Had it framed for a tenner. My boy will go ape when he g...

Re: TV Coverage - ESPN

Less Barnes is almost worth pay-per-view TV I think.

Re: Disillusioned

"atmosphere" is subjective of course, but behind the goal at Twickenham was a sea of tigers shirts going ape.

Re: Dupuy in trouble?

Awful. I am disappointed in Dupuy. To lose respect for a great player is worse than watching their skill evaporate.

If found guilty he should be banned for lie I think. Deliberately risking blinding an opponent is vile.

Re: Are Tigers players rugby fans?

At the Christmas supporters evening, Tom Croft revealed he hates watching rugby when he's not playing as it frustrates the heck out of him.

At least we have Vesty, Twelvetrees and a bunch of other good uns to fill in, and maybe mature into first team regular slots.

Re: The BEST Fish and Chips in England

Kent's "tuck-inn" fried chicken ( yes you read that correctly, yes they do get sued regularly by the humourless KFC org!) in Lower Gornal, Dudley, west mids. Amazing tender cod, beer batter and awesome chips.

Blue Submarine - Russell's Hall, dudley. Best haddock I've had.

Re: Disillusioned

The final at Twickenham last season was probably the worst game of rugby I've ever paid to see, but the most exciting and tense I've ever seen. If the playoffs built that, bring it on ! The competitions, breakdown laws, the RFU old farts and everything else are just fleas on the dog compared to thos...
