Leicester Tigers

Englands "Possibles / half a second team" vs Wales "Certainties / IRB 1st Ranking" did very well I thought showing the squad depth that is more than present. This is promising given the likely 3, 4 or more ?? key player injuries that could easily occur to any team during the camp...

Tigers team looks good .. Game on ... Let's put those stains back into their innermost feelings of second best to tigers.

Actually impossible to predict of course ... Bookmakers odds about right which makes Leicester 13/5 against and Saints 4/11 favourites. I take leicester 21-12

I would suspect that Tigers would end up voting to sell the club (or equivalent) or accept 2nd tier rugby outside the hallowed elite. The former course may spell the end of Tigers as we know it, the latter seems almost unthinkable. Agreed ... Tigers will always play top level elite rugby that much ...

Some questions in my mind ... Would more money increase quality of UK based player pool ? Would more money increase crowds and public interest ? Would more money increase player welfare ? Would more money attact Young athletes that would otherwise do other sports ? Would more money attract more rich...

The two pieces of abuse I heard related to self-abuse and throwing a caber. There was nothing I heard anywhere near Shed standard. That isn't to say some oaf did not utter something far worse. Simon, don't go to Glaws if you don't want to hear the worst of rugby abuse; Sale used to be poor, but the...

Firstly .... DA seems to have reacted in a way 99.999 percent of professional players would not and should not ... So should be penalised of course. Secondly .... The trend towards touch line abuse has to be stopped ... To be honest if some drunken T..W was giving me personal aggressive verbals I wo...

+1

If Wales had Genia and Sexton .... Discuss ..... And even without such fantasies the 2015 RWC group of death with Eng, Aus and Wales looks frantic

Could be quite a game ... Most of these players could easily be in test 3 ... Given possible injuries and the fact that Lions will win test 2 (IMHO) ... I think test 2 will be brutal beyond belief with Lions sniffing 80 minutes to historic victory and Aussies backed in a corner (very very dangerous)...

I think 2nd test will be quite different .. Hopefully the breakdown will be more competitive and The Lions should use scrum and maul pressure more. Australia will be flying in attack and will for sure score tries and kick goals better .... So Lions need to up the game. Strategy of power tight then g...

Initially it was not clear if he could see WJ properly, but as noted above he crossed his right leg left and well back in a stamping not driving motion .. There can be no other logical deduction other than clear intent .. He went off balance by doing this and weakened any drive that people would nor...

IMHO I don't see the logic ... Virtually all of the Tuesday 23 will not start on Sat and Manu has been training .... That being said Davies / BOD would be good .... Just lacking the BOOSSHH ... That Gats likes

Agreed .... I suspect that we are for sure not being told all about the injuries ... They will be probably be more numerous and serious than is being portrayed ... Alternatively what if the day before the test both North and Manu are declared fit ? That would be a real boost.

Seems to have gone quiet about Manu shoulder ? If Roberts is crocked then Manu would seem to almost like for like and Manu went well with BOD. However Davies was very good yesterday.

So Gatland and crew now call up Shane to join 36 and Barritt and the Lions backs are the walking wounded. It's hardly surprising with the regularity of the guys having to backup Sat to Tuesday games. Yet again only two fly halves were taken. Gatland complains that the Lions needed more tough games y...
