Leicester Tigers

Don't think we played to the best of our ability but I don't think we need to panic. Exeter are a very good side. We rested a few players for next week as well. I think we may of made a great signing of vuinea he looked very good and always beats the first defender. The way we played in the back lin...

i must admit that when we signed him i didnt think it would be a good signing but by the sounds of things he is very good. cant wait to see him in action.

i think he should start next match.

i may be the only person thinking this but in my opinion he really did not have a good game. his defense was ok at the start but towards the end he was nowhere to be seen in defense. overall i think england didnt play that well but the ref did make some dodgy calls.

Samoa have not selected sinoti and have gone for alesana instead. Although alesana is a good player he really didn't do much for newcastle last season but sinoti was on fire for newcastle. Can't see why they have not selected him.

i think we may struggle at the start of the season but we do have a lot of quality players not playing for an international team. i think the new coaching setup will take a while for it to setup but when it does it should be good. as ever though hoping for some silverware.

Underrated by England, but never at Welford Road. A true carpet-knife wielding centre who will be sorely missed for his intelligent play and brilliant tackling. Good luck for the future AA, and thanks. agreed :smt023 always rated him very highly. we all saw how much we missed him this season. good ...

Very sad news he was a true gentlemen and will always be remembered

. A bit like Dan "crowbar" Hipkiss in that respect.

agree with this and when he comes back and plays well everyone will be saying what a great player he is. always did like hipkiss.

think lancaster will pick him again just because he loves him for some reason. hope he doesent but he deserves the four ban the guy is a liability

If you had of said that we were going to finish ahead of Exeter and sarries at christmas I would of laughed. The likes of Gloucester and wasps could never have survived. It's been a bad season lets just hope we perform better next year

Not having players available on a regular basis has compounded the problems of scoring tries. Allen, Manu, Benjamin, Loamanu, Bai, Scully, Morris's, Thompstone have hardly been available. Given game time together I am sure that they would have gained a better awareness of lines and channels to run ...

Fortunately Roberts is looking very handy and we have Bryant and Thacker coming up.

+1

i swear cockers said that burns and mulipola were going to be fit i could be wrong though. i hope to see the same starting 15 as the week before. either way it should be a cracker
