Leicester Tigers

So we have announced currently Bristol v Crusaders Quins v Munster Saints v Stormers Newcastle Falcons TBA I wonder if we have something lined up. I guess you have to look at it from the financial perspective. If it was a fully paid to attend match then it would make sense doing that. If it were to...

Owen Farrell is stepping back from international rugby for the 6N to concentrate on his and his families mental well-being I see that as very sensible thinking. If the selectors will not give people the time off they want or need via rotation then it is time for the players to do it themselves. It ...

According to the Telegraph, Lewis Ludlam has signed for Toulon from next season ..and more will surely follow! Agree, the Premiership cannot offer the top wages, is not close to challenging in Europe and so unless you are a cert to get that extra couple of hundred grand for being on England Duty, c...

Split between ITV and BBC. They are still much higher than I assumed though. Then again, I assume that is split 6 ways together with what comes in from the deals in France and Italy.

The stories are starting that the BBC cannot afford the 6 Nations rights and may not have any coverage. Interesting one this. Yes, rugby needs an audience and the 6 Nations is a great showcase for the sport on terrestrial TV and I would hope that ITV or another terrestrial channel would pick up thei...

I've witnessed as much racism in Leicester as anywhere else in the country. We can't just keep pretending that it isn't our problem because we think we're better than that in rugby union or Leicester or however else we try to distance ourselves. Anything less than "this isn't good enough"...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/67470036 This is appalling, bbc don’t go into details but other sites do. As bad as it gets if proven. Is wailing racially abuse, if so there were approx 8 Chief fans doing it at the Ladies game yesterday, 1 wearing some sort of hood with horns and banging hi...

It does make sense, a home Olympics is a once in a generation thing and could also be great PR for the clubs and the national team at 15s level.

Taking into account injuries, I do not think that we could put out a much better team than that.

I remain inherently worried. I just cannot see where more money is going to come from to get to break even and the concern is only greater with the cap increase next year. It would appear to be financial suicide to spend more on wages and so you will start to see a gap between clubs with sugar daddi...

Sadly this is the insanity that is post world cup. This is where all the international teams take stock of what they have and where they are and the coach merry go round begins. Everyone with even the slightest experience and national connection will be connected to their national teams. Interesting...

Squad wise I feel we need to fine tune it with the cap increase (if we can afford it) Loosehead - Either need a better starter than Cronin or a better back up than Van Wyk. Whitcombe should be viewed as out main bench option though he's got a really good mix of abilities. Starter options - Sutherla...

No but Jasper seemed very happy trotting around where he was when I last saw him and gave no indication he wanted to leave !! :smt038 like he’d tell you😂 I don't think even Yorkshire can do talking Rhinos If they could, the first thing they would say would involve telling you they were from Yorkshi...

Whilst I do not think for a second that the board would be involved in selection matters, this is a big marketing match. First post World Cup home match, 2 world cup winners the England contingent back etc. As many of those as are fit will be on the pitch and those that are not will be very visible...
