Leicester Tigers

Looks like Petrus du Plessis will be coming with Dan as scrum coach. He’s very highly thought of and prob means Harrison will be off to England. Interesting to see who comes in to fire the backs up…

Thought West had a really strong game, both in the set piece and the loose, for me is a real upgrade on Van Wyk! Hopefully he's here beyond the end of this season.

Are we still expecting OHC?

Something that hasn't been discussed on here is just who is/has been having the key say on signings for next season? Shillcock, Bassett, Hatherall etc all announced seemingly without knowing who will be in charge, what their style of play will be, will that suit those individuals etc. When the lates...

Tom West to Ealing? Great pick up for them

Atkinson grew into the game and in the end I was really impressed with him. Especially defensively. I think he just needs to trust his instinct more. A couple of times I think he naturally wanted to play, thought about the kick, and those seconds cost him. But overall think he’ll be a superb signing...

Everard was an out and out jackal type 7 prior to his retirement, can’t imagine him being Backs coach? Could see Gopperth moving into a more full time coaching role but agree on still needing a forward’s specialist

For arguments sake, say SB does imminently take up his role at HQ, and Kev and Aled remain, as per the Telegraph article, where would this leave us in terms of a replacement head honcho? We know we’ve sounded out Lancaster in the past, so we’re looking at a high calibre profile, these guys aren’t go...

George McGuigan leaves Newcastle for Gloucester with immediate effect :smt017 Jack Singleton probably out for the rest of the season. Falcons have just given Blamire a new deal amongst rumours McGuigan was off at the end of the season. Maybe McGuigan brought that forward with agreement from Falcons...

Great win, solid 2nd half performance, less said about the first the better! George Martin was absolutely superb, his physicality both in defence and with ball in hand was monstrous. Should have been the MOM for me. Wonder if we’ll see star names back for Clemont? Hopefully we’ll buck the trend of t...

** Keep Aled at all costs ** Whilst I'd be gutted to lose Steve and Kev, the reality is, that's the game. You want to push and challenge yourself at the highest level, I get that. Aled would be the biggest loss. We haven't been great this year, a lot of unforced errors and some questionable judgemen...

CMK was… well, CMK. Truth is we had a 10-0 pen count at one point, 3 tries and a seemingly game winning lead… and blew it. Again

No leadership. Again. Bath, Irish and now Bristol, turn it on in the first half, fall apart in the second. Kicking poor for most of the game. Big questions to be asked.

Really important win / 5 points in the context of the season. Second game in a row where we’ve seemed to almost stop playing in the second half. We seem to lack a bit of direction or game management; win a pen, turn down a kick at goal, kick to touch, win line out… attempt drop goal?! As a few have ...

Unusual for us to sign players on a single year deal? Would have to think Taufete'e has another year
