Leicester Tigers

The maul had not collapsed when Harrison came in from the side to rip the ball out. If it had the referee would have not pinged him for it. The covering defenders were covering the ball being passed out from the maul. They were not going to prevent the drive. The ref bottled it, pure and simple. If...

Signed JDV and folk are talking about who is in line for next year, as if it's more important. All speculation, usually started by the same rumour mongers who are usually wrong. Expect a different level of defensive brain and attacking link play come the run in, he is a special player and will impr...

Clearly no try was 'certain' to be scored because there were covering defenders, the maul was sufficiently far away from the try line before it got collapsed by (IMO) a Quins player going off his feet and folding in on the ball carrier. Right call ref. The maul had not collapsed when Harrison came ...

He wouldn't be playing on Sunday even if he was here.

Australia are capable of winning but I think the All Blacks will just edge it.

He tried to rip the ball out because he knew a try was a near certainty. If you believe anything else you are wearing Tiger stripe specs.

So maybe we will have:

Logo (??), Youngs, Cole, Fitzgerald, De Chaves (Kitchener), Williams, Croft, Pearce

Harrison (Youngs), Williams(Bell), Goneva, Bai, Betham, Thompstone, Tait

Thacker, Balmain, McCaffrey, Crane, Founua, White, Smith, Camacho

Purely looking at the number of first choice players who will come back at various times of the season Sorry but this is starting to wind me up. It's nothing personal, several people have said it. Forget the forwards, that is not a problem at the minute. Can you someone tell me who these superstar ...

This has the feel of an issue that won't go away until the accused are identified and punished....and they have the chance to deal with it now or continue to prevaricate and deal with a bigger problem further down the line.... I think it already has gone away. I think with the new deal Bath and Sar...

Harrison didn't collapse it, he tried to rip the ball out (from the side). Everybody apart from the ref thought it was a PT.

Team news from the Merc: Fly-half Tommy Bell will be an injury doubt for the visit of Wasps on Sunday after he was clattered into an advertising board by Marland Yarde and cut his leg. No.8 Opeti Fonua could return, though, after missing the Quins game with a bruised back. Fellow No.8 Jordan Crane i...

The World Cup should be the World Cup, pure and simple. The only thing they need to do is make the schedule favourable to tier 2 teams and less favourable to tier 1. As for the 6N. Two 4 team conferences with semis and a final would work for me. Gives the new boys 3 matches and if they do well more....

There can be no excuses from the Happy Clappers this season.. You have had a new Supremo, much longer planning time, and still we look exactly as we did last year.No real improvement in any area, except Betham. And Bell is a great addition I am sure he will be first choice 15 before long We still h...

What would Tigers do with it anyway?

Do something useful with it I say.

As I recall he came in from the side which is illegal.

He then tried to rip the ball out.
