Leicester Tigers

If Tigers lose Mike Brown I will take my clothes off and streak around Welford Road the next home game.

If Mike Brown stays, I'll keep my clothes on.

Can't say fairer than that.

Make him a groundsman?

Good point, I will modify the question accordingly:

How do Leicester Tigers keep Mike Brown as an active player for the longer term future without giving him a hybrid role as a groundsman?

How do we keep Mike Brown?

TBH changing the coaching team very recently and playing with a largely similar team of players, it amazes me that anyone could have expected a different result. Strikes me that if you did you're either delusional or clutching at straws. I'm sure we all recall that it took a while for SB to turn Ti...

I do speak (and write and read in) French, but the temptation to reply to this with full on Del Boy style Franglais is enormous.

I don't normally like to criticise players, after all I haven't (and couldn't have) played at their level. I will make an exception for a gentle criticism of Mako Vunipola. I feel he has lost a bit. I'm not impressed with his scrummaging, around the park he has looked cumbersome to me (with a couple...

If Farrell's in the starting XV, I'll be cheering for France! He's been dropped for Smith. Robespierre, time to start chanting for England! ;-) Ha! I’ll wait for the official team announcement. Being half English/half French, first and foremost I support England in all games, and I cheer for France...

Well, I've had twelve heart attacks, a bout of nervous anxiety that hospitalised me for 35 minutes of the second half, and I've been through several rather serious alcohol issues. Still, we won! Superb defence for the whole second half. I know we let a couple in but we kept so many more out the conc...

Oh blinkety flip.

I now have a Saints fan acquaintance to de-smug.

Squeaky bum time, this should be a win but...

Well, we're looking a bit lost in parts.

I'll second this. I've always liked Freddie and as others have said the final move of last season nailed him on as a Tigers Great.

Sorry to see you go, Freddie, but I wish you and yours all the very best. Gives me an excuse to watch NZ rugby.

[<snip> I guess this is one of the few situations where the clubs actually get their own way a bit. At least they can plan to a large extent as to who they will and will not have for the next couple of months, as well as knowing roughly what compensation they will receive that can be applied to bac...

Overall a good squad but some glaring omissions: Anthony Watson Ollie Lawrence Ted Hill Dave Ribbans Henry Aurendell Arundell and Watson injured........ And Sb can only change 5 outside of injuries so slightly limited I saw this restriction too and, whilst I understand the logic, I'm not very sympa...
