Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm

Nothing to lose so just show pride in the shirt but for me the main thing is no injuries as the next game v Saints we have to get some points then hope we get a reasonably fit side out for the last few league games. It’s a shame that for what is supposed to be the top competition we’ve been unlucky ...

Re: French rugby 2023/24

Pleased Zac Henry is getting massive praise for his Fly Half play at Stade. To play as well as he did with PAU whilst his poor dad was so ill was a huge credit to Zac and the encouragement of his father who did, sadly, pass away. Zac has credited Steve Borthwick and Tigers for helping to improve him...

Yes they did then everyone was miraculously fit.
Makes no difference what side they put out we just need to get everything to click for 80 minutes or maybe 97 minutes!

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45

With all the disruption Tigers have had it’s not an excuse but a reality that with our awful luck with injuries and international call ups we were always going to struggle to get any continuity! Watching the players walk round the pitch to applaud and talk to us who went was a huge testament to them...

Re: JVP

Mitchell and JVP will serve England very well if they can stay fit: bit like the competition between Dawson, Bracken and in the early days of their careers Youngs and Care.

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45

Those of us at Newcastle were proud of the fight in the team and I remember last season up there and even the season we won the Premiership we only just got the job done. Again we lack continuity in the squad due to injuries and International call ups. Bath and Sarries too have rested some of their ...

I’ve not washed my car as that would certainly mean rain! I’m just working out a couple of routes as the A1 at Washington has had problems all week! I’m driving back afterwards but have to get there first!! A1 Doncaster has been bad all week too but at least you can get off and go through Pontefract...

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45

Sadly Martin, like Earle are the two England players Borthwick dreads having out. Martin was limping a lot after 60 minutes v Ireland, was a doubt v France and played on after taking a couple of heavy knocks but had loads of strapping. It’s a shame for us that in a shortened season we will be missin...

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45

I’m also worried a bout the future of the club as how many fans will renew season tickets( we have renewed) and others turn up to see Tigers when in a must game win we again have been hit by injuries to our internationals! Reffel, Cole, Martin, Chessum, Heyes! Maybe we are just unlucky or are we doi...

Seriously worried. How on earth do we manage to have half the pack out injured!
Could be a long night and will Kata and Pollard play??

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45

Agree with what you say and having watched the other games this weekend it’s galling that Pollard didn’t play: we don’t have a back up Fly Half and with Freddie Burns or Ford playing yesterday we would have won as those two would have changed tactics when needed. Ford kicked well for Sale today but ...

This Bath v Sale game is superb. Both teams attacking very well and some great defence!

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45

Diamond has toughened up Newcastle as Exeter found out yesterday. I just hope our heads are in the right place for the whole game. If Pollard, Chessum, Martin aren’t playing I really do fear it could be a repeat of last season. I’ve been to Newcastle many times on a Friday night and I’m sure others ...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45

Agreed: Gloucester knew we were weak in the middle and just kept running good lines in the middle of the pitch! Odd as down at Quins watching behind the posts we made them have to go wide and yes, Quins got that unconverted try at the end but they had to get the ball wide. I also think we missed a t...

Re: Saracens - Harlequins TMO

Well in the Bath game today they took no notice of Oz when he rightly commented on the forward pass for their first try. Bit like on Friday night with the knock by Gloucester in the build up to their first half try! Mind you I don’t know if it was commented on on TV as I was at the game! Still no ex...
