Leicester Tigers

I do wish that Exeter fans would cease their chanting…it makes watching any game they are playing particularly painful… They've been repeatedly asked to stop the 'Tomahawk Chop'. which is disliked by many fans including my siblings. However there is a bunch of Ultras who see themselves as the 'real...

oh btw JGriffin, other sides have their England players back too, not all started we seem to be about the only side to not pick them. RFU need to have a rule regarding this stuff They are supposed to have, for player welfare. However, there are get-outs, of course - like no penalties for ignoring t...

And I am glad we are looking after them all

that's our choice though, yet again we have given up before we even travelled

We are looking after players welfare, as are most other sides. Not Sarries. As per, what's new?

Stop being boring. This happens in every World Cup Year, made worse by the smaller league and Sarries not giving a damn about player welfare. Just live with it, we don't run rugby, a lot who do are idiots or care little for player welfare.

Maybe our team choice is sensible given the context, the plastic pitch etc. I had forgotten where Pollard picked up his injury last year. I am absolutely in favour of our RWC players having a proper rest. Even if players weren't used much, they were still away from home, families etc. I'd much pref...

It's getting worse, even more stuff being posted on social media

Pathetic. The review generally worked ok with some inconsistencies that seemed ironed out as the tournament progressed. Red deserved by NZ & rightly the yellow wasn’t upgraded for SA. Both high but the first was straight to the head and the second mainly contacted the chest/shoulder and rode up...

I vaguely remember as a schoolboy having to physically do the heel thing. That might be vague due to being repeatedly clattered by forwards.

Yep, being :censored: last year has put them in a good position this - the price of success, as ever.

Bit more detail in the telegraph this morning on Sinfield’s England exit. Seeks players love him, inspirational but a slight lack of technical knowledge at the highest level. Also says he is missing his family, who are based in Oldham, a great deal. Appears separation is on very good terms. Anybody...

" Genge was a good scrummager with us but I suspect it’s not coincidence that his and Sinckler’s scrummaging has declined at Bristol."
Exactly my reason for wondering how long Genge can stay there and decline into "once was".

Apparently Wayne is the ref for the final!
