Leicester Tigers

Just glad we managed to squeeze out a win. Maybe we can come good on the home straight after a few weeks rnr.

I always like Mike Brown but now he's in a Tigers shirt I'm loving it. Even better than the Ashton gig.

I believe so although I don't know the context of the quote so wouldn't like to past judgement.

Anyone watched it? Not sure I can be bothered.

That's some interesting extra info Tiglon though I think I'm a bit too thick to get what it all means. Doesn't help that I haven't watched the game I guess. Kicking is important, that is for sure. But I always thought it was more nuanced than pure metres. Area of the pitch, when to and when not to, ...

Crucially, we only kicked 662 metres, whereas Leinster managed 1162m.

From the match thread. Thought it was worth a separate discussion.

What does this stat tell us - if anything?

Will be a great challenge with little pressure as we are expected to lose.

We have to start well.

Yeah, I only stumbled on it by accident but thought that it was well done

Yes, I know we don't support Saints but A) there is a lot of interesting general stuff in there and B) have we ever streamed ours?

In my opinion system/coaching problems.

Whilst I am not interested in Dickens personal life I am interested in Tigers at least having a fully functioning coaching squad and looking to build a new dynasty after the successful but too short lived Borthwick area. We have a very good, I am quite sure of that and I have hopes for McKellar but ...

Hallelujah

I was surprised the ref said "on field try" in the first place.

And I was happy (well, you know what I mean) with the decision made on review.

Got to say I don't have a good feeling about it.

I feel we have too many missing and I don't think we've really clicked fully.

Not to say we can't win but I'd say it's 30/70.

What are the bookies saying?
