Leicester Tigers

"When they sit in the dressing room the walls shake..."

Dodgy Irish brickies put it up, probably.

Is that why they're doing the place up now?

Rumour is that Sweeney is leaving the Dragons...


NOT Beauxis! That 21 year old may be able to kick, but in the 10 minutes he was on the pitch v the O's he didn't pass once.

Sod Bougoin!

If they win, then Munster will need a result against Tigers. We don't WANT Munster to need a result... that would be bad...

... for Leicester. Ospreys v Stade. With Leinster, Munster, Biarritz and Scarlets either through, or on the verge, the qualification is looking clearer. The remaining spots can be filled by 3 of Wasps, Castres, Stade, Sale, Ospreys, Leicester, Saints. For the best 2nd place team in Wasps' group to g...

Man.. that Irish referee did his best to make sure the Irish team got through the group.

Some shocking calls in that match.

Well done Donal. Freedom of the city of Dublin for you, fellah...

Cardiff seem to be the best team in Europe at keep going despite a lack of points.

Last season it wasn't the case...

Was it 48-3 that Leeds beat them by?

Stil... this side looks strong. I suspect a narrow win without the BP.

Seems very odd, given Rabeni's level of performance thus far, and Varndell's 8 tries in 14 appearances, that he's not in the 22. Especially as we need tries.

I can only assume an injury.


Moody at 7, Jennings at 6, eh?


Sigh.

I'd say the biggest reason it'd be wrong for the Tigers is because we keep losing there.


Bath, :censored:!!!!

How?

Apparently he called him a 'spide', which is an Irish colloquialism meaning 'pikey' or 'chav'.

Delon took it (as you would if you imagine it said in an Irish accent) as McCullough calling him a 'spade'.

I also envisage Bourgoin recieving a certain ammount of support in bars around Leics on Sunday afternoon I considered that, but if Bourgoin were to beat Munster, that would leave them needing a win against Tigers to go through. And we all know what Munster are like when they NEED a result. I'd hope...

There were 2 Jonhnno incidents. One for the knee to McRae in 2001 which resulted in a 5 week ban which expired in time for him to start the 2001 6N campaign (but 5 weeks was a middle order ban for that offence rather than the ludicrously brief bans handed out to Williams, Grewcock and Mears). The ot...

Shows our line out needs work shows a failure to understand the stats. They don't show how many steals on the opposition throw are made, sadly, but they do show efficiency on your own throw. You looked and saw we were half way down the table on lineouts won on own throw, but didn't take into accoun...

Where on earth did you dig up all those from?

Nabuk,

I feel for you, going to that game. I live in the area and the rain was dreadful.

Still, I gather that young Turner-Hall had a decent game - Stephen Jones was there and made him the Sunday Times Star Man for making a couple of strong breaks.

Not really a game for the backs, mind.

It IS ridiculous. Was anyone from Bath on the panel?

The minimum is 3 weeks for stamping, I believe. Hell, they could have banned them for 3 weeks and they'd be fresh and ready for the 6N... but no, someone decided that one week was fine and that they'd be back for Bath's European games.
