Leicester Tigers

Just saw Chiefs highlights in Munster! A strong Munster side and they got nilled and could hardly get the ball, dreading Saturday I am but at least it's out the way and then we can concentrate on Newcastle,Chiefs by 16-20.

Stone Genge looking to be back November! Great news!

No Thompstone JP? And a rule of thumb (ie BoC) is always start your 50/50 players. If he's struggling he can be replaced,if he's on the bench and Reffell gets injured in minute one for example he's gotta play 79 minutes. So BoC starts for me or misses out.

I still wouldn't start both of them,Fridays backs deserve to start Saturday imo and Youngs is captain

Did he? I thought we struggled then Feao came on and destroyed their TH in his first scrum. No Fitzgerald? Mapapalangi although a very good talent doesn't have the workrate Fitzy does and we will be lucky to get a third possession,our tackle count will be huge.

Delon Armitage out for the season after only 64 seconds!

True but I'm just really searching for complete clarification on this. I remember Saints and Bath getting fined for North and Faletau but that was the AIs. A poster on here remarked that we "have" to bring back TPN and Toomua during rest weekends because it was classed as outside internati...

Maafu might be a decent shout in this game with Williams out,Francis isn't a top scrummsger and Cole always beasts Hepburn. Personally I would start Feao and attack their scrum from minute one!

So this "outside international window" doesn't exist then on rest weekends during the RC and it's up to the club and player to strike a deal because I haven't heard a stitch from PLR as regards to fines coming Sales way?

Doesn't effect us this week but lose him for next 2?

13 yes but not at 12

Don't forget May can play 11,13,14,15 and Eastmond can play 13 too. Holmes can cover FB too.

Cortes,TPN,Bateman, Fitzgerald,Williams,Harrison,Toomua,Holmes

I would play BOC considering Kvesic started last game for Chiefs to combat him. Faeo to start instead of Maafu who is a very poor scrummsger from first viewing. TPN and Toomua on bench,only dilemma are Reffell or Williams and Holmes or Olowefela on bench,for me I'd go Williams and Holmes

Gopparth could be out for nine months,big blow with Cips gone too.
