Leicester Tigers

All of this has been discussed before.

There is too much negativity IMO. The Prem is great to watch and there are some great stadiums and clubs in it. We just need to build it out a bit and make better use of what is there.

We just have to look over the channel to see what we have to do.

But again we are back to putting some money and effort into making the Championship a better competition so that the gap in terms of facilities and standards is not so great.

Must be a downside to your suggestion?

Isn't one of the more interesting things in life the contrasts and the unexpected.

If you've been out in the sticks for a few days going to the City can be very exhilarating and vice versa.

So it as when you have a bit of kick tennis and then suddenly one team runs it out from the back.

Just glad we managed to squeeze out a win. Maybe we can come good on the home straight after a few weeks rnr.

I always like Mike Brown but now he's in a Tigers shirt I'm loving it. Even better than the Ashton gig.

I believe so although I don't know the context of the quote so wouldn't like to past judgement.

Anyone watched it? Not sure I can be bothered.

That's some interesting extra info Tiglon though I think I'm a bit too thick to get what it all means. Doesn't help that I haven't watched the game I guess. Kicking is important, that is for sure. But I always thought it was more nuanced than pure metres. Area of the pitch, when to and when not to, ...

Crucially, we only kicked 662 metres, whereas Leinster managed 1162m.

From the match thread. Thought it was worth a separate discussion.

What does this stat tell us - if anything?

Will be a great challenge with little pressure as we are expected to lose.

We have to start well.

Yeah, I only stumbled on it by accident but thought that it was well done

Yes, I know we don't support Saints but A) there is a lot of interesting general stuff in there and B) have we ever streamed ours?

Agreed

In my opinion system/coaching problems.
