Leicester Tigers

I'm still a bit split on this. On the one hand, it is interference by someone who isn't an official; on the other, it's an extra pair of expert eyes keeping players safe. After all, it is still the officials who make the decision.

A consideration is that the TMO has only the TV feed whereas the commentary team have a view of the whole pitch and the TV feed - (from half-way up the Crumbie at Tigers).

With less games we need to invest in quality not quantity. I agree, take the strength in depth that Sarries have as an example and if we do truly spend upto the cap then we should be signing quality not quantity. Watson is very bad business and Rogerson, Cracknell, Dolly and Hatherall best days are...

It isn't just the audio feed though, is it? Instant replays with slow motion and magnification also bring incidents to light that would have been missed. And, in France, there is the constant inability of the TV director to find any incriminating evidence against the home side. It depends whether yo...

I really hope Friday night was a blip, a one-off because it reminded me of the late-Cockerill, and Murphy eras.

I don't think Weise can be criticised for his performance tonight. Gloucester clearly targeted him and closed him down early.

We need someone who can kick when Pollard is absent; I don't care about the number on his back. Hold practice and auditions. Maybe we'll find a John Eales.

A lot now depends on how other results go this weekend.

We're now down to 7th. Bristol overtake us on points difference. Plus there are the other matches to be played this weekend.

Minus paywall

Thanks. Interesting - he's saying the right things but what is his record with the soccer clubs he owns?

A paywall blocks it, I'm afraid.

Tommy Reffell led the turnover stats in the 6N.
There also seems to be some confusion about how to pronounce his name; is the emphasis on the first syllable or the second?

I'd rather keep van Wyck and let Cronin go. A real disappointment post injury.

Matthieu Jalibert will play no more part in the 6Nations, which could be a blessing in disguise. Who will replace him? I'd go with Racing's Antoine Gibert and select clubmate Nolan Le Garrec at scrum half. Maxim Lucu has been a disappointment at scrum half. His club form with Bordeaux/Bègles has be...
