Leicester Tigers

Have not watched this game so cannot comment on who played well or who did not. However, last time I looked rugby union was a game for fifteen not fourteen or thirteen, which is how we seem to play it. Just exactly how are we supposed to compete with anyone if we cannot maintain discipline and keep...

We look shattered. Too long defending against Saints with a man down.

No Reffell and Montoya means no breakdown threat so they've got quick ball.

We've struggled ever since Reffell went off. Cracknell is once again an empty shirt.

4 point game and we have the first 4 minutes or so of the second half a man down, plus Saints bench is stacked.. Smith and Freeman will be very very dangerous against tired legs It is ok, OHC has barely hit 75% yet today! He has reserves! Unfortunately, neither has he since the beginning of the sea...

Can’t help thinking the lost points from the two try attempts butchered by Shilcock are going to cost us once Saints unload their bench. Don’t understand why we simply don’t play Steward at full back!!! One was butchered by Shillcock, the other by Steward (poor pass) I would stick Steward at 15 and...

We have had 2 like that now.. not sure what we were meant to do

Not contest unless there's no one on their side. It's harsh as Reffell didn't impede anybody but sir is being consistent.

And yet in this country the support our private schools give to rugby is used as a club to bash the game over the head. ‘Toffs game’ and all that. And, indeed, the schools themselves. It's worth noting that private schools in Ireland are a fraction of the cost of private schools in the UK. The Iris...

Great chance for Carnduff to lay down a marker though. If he wants to be in the mix for a game time next season then now is a great chance for a bloke with a lot of potential to show what he can do.

Saints have some injuries and they've rotated a few. They've got bench impact if they need it. Hopefully we can get the job done at front and starve them of quick ball.

Take your point. This was the player who was stand out for England A and called into English training squad because of it. There are plenty of good open sides at premiership clubs but he won’t have been sort of suitors. Suggesting he’ll be rotation initially isn’t fair imo I would fully expect him ...

Underhill has just signed a new contract, so he's not going anywhere. Thanks. Lots of depth at 7 there then. I suppose Underhill injury record and absence with England means there will be plenty of opportunity Cloete is supposed to be leaving would leave Underhill and then utility backrow Miles Rei...

Been mentioned in dispatches for a while though only just confirmed. He won’t be going there as back up he’s too good, so wonder if it indicates Underhill moving on He's an uncapped 20 year old. He'll be there as rotation initially and likely taking Cloete's spot in the squad. it's not like Pepper ...

Bath sign Guy Pepper from Newcastle on a three year deal. Another good signing... Been mentioned in dispatches for a while though only just confirmed.

Even at 100K increases each that should count for 300K extra off. I struggle to see us just signing 3 players, I don't expect any more obvious starters for next season but depth wise centres will be bare bones. I don't see realistically how we could afford to buy out Simmonds and Marchant and if an...

Whereas we definitely have the ability to run it from our own half and Saints definitely don't have any jackle threats like Lawes, Langdon, Pearson or Ludlam available to them.
