Leicester Tigers

Was sat in the CAT stand for the first time and loved it, I thought Balmain and Slater were great, Ford, Bowden, Tait, Noone, Hawkins and both wingers get mentions too. Boris's red card was absolute nonsense along with most of the refs decisions today, All in all a good day at Fortress Welford Road ...

Today's performance was an embarrassment, although not as bad as the touch judges. There are a multitude of issues in my opinion but these are the ones that stick out for me. 1. The lack of a Decent 7, Robshaw just doesn't cut it for me, he was good in the 6 nations last year and OK against SA in th...

Maybe he is being saved for AP games??

On an unrelated note when is Miles Benjamin expected back?

We have at present probably the slowest back line in the Premiership... And we havent had a really quick speedster--------excepting BY---since Varndell A couple of really fast backs to unleash all the technique and potential is what we need.. Watson looks very promising !! Matt Smith, Adam Thompest...

Jordan Crane was far from average before his injury IMO, Ive always been a Crane fan so i may be bias but his commitment to this team has been top notch, i remember watching the 2011 Premiership final vs Sarries and watching Jordan being the player that put his hand up every time when we were on the...

What a win, COME ON YOU TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As many of said it depends how SL wants to play, if we want to front up i think Corbs & Wood will start, if he decides to play them at running rugby then i expect Marler and Johnson to stay and maybe JJ on the bench

We'll need a more dynamic back row with Pocock around so Woods needs to start at 7 with Robshaw switching to 6 and bring in Morgan at 8. As for the backs then I'd start Youngs, replace Moyne with Ashton which just leaves Barritt as the problem. This is not the game to trial Manu at 12. Just read th...

I believe they are trialing 23 man teams in internationals now, this is where my mistake arose as the team from last week was listed as a 22 not 23 with David Wilson so i will swap out Brown for Wilson

There was only one prop on the bench against Fiji

I think there will be a couple of changes, my team would be; 1. Marler 2. Youngs 3. Cole 4. Launchbury (massively impressed by him) 5. Parling 6. Johnson 7. Robshaw 8. Waldrom 9. Youngs 10. Flood 11. Ashton 12. Barrit 13. Tuilagi 14. Sharples 15. Goode 16. Vunipola 17. Paice 18. Palmer 19. Wood 20. ...

Personally i would rather see May here than JJ, May has massive potential and can play Outside Center, Wing and Fullback

I would go with

1. Balmain
2. Stevens
3. Bower
4. Slater
5. Cain
6. Guillame
7. Thorpe
8. Noone
9. Steele/Young
10. Cornwell
11. Lewington
12. Symons
13. Forsyth
14. Thompstone
15. Tait

16. Stanko
17. Thacker
18. Harris
19. Andrew
20. Deacon
21. Harrison
22. Pohe
23. Morris

Well that was truly awful
