Leicester Tigers

Lawes as captain, cracking player in second or back row, leads by example, you can’t drop Farrell he is world class but not a great captain, bring In Spencer as a scrum half and drop Youngs, he is just not international standard any more, Smith is a bit erratic but when on form a very talented player.

Ref had to stick with on field decision of try, thems the laws

Stupid by Dan Cole, he does this a lot and luckily mostly gets away with it

Irish play rugby how it should be played, great to watch.

Stuart Hooper any one ( only joking)

So violence met by violence, not a good thing!!!

Red for me.

Watson came out of the line and then missed the tackle for Bristols try, poor defending.

Poor by the TMO letting Genge get away with that.

Get JVP off now, he’s out of his depth.

Nothing to do with the ref, truly awful pass by JVP for the first try and weak defence for the second.

Good luck to Bath, if they have enough cap left to employ out of work players that’s great, let’s not be bitter about it!!!

I predict an easy win for us tonight, I know we have a lot of players unavailable but so have Bath but our squad depth is much stronger than theirs.

So sad to see Wasps and Worcester out of the premiership, let’s hope they can get genuine backers and return to the league as soon as possible.

Sale looking a very good side, well coached, committed and playing as a team.
