So it was just a push on the chest -

Yeah right!

I can't vote either 'cos I refuse to use Facebook - but it seems to be, on the Tigers web news, between YBY, Salvi and Burns.

iirc, both Manu and Ashton got yellow carded because, at the time, the play and the ref were away from the incident. The only report to the ref was that they had both been fighting, which would probably have happened if Ashton could have got a punch in! Manu got a 10 week ban, reduced to 5 weeks htt...

Quite right TL - some people either just like to moan, have short memories or, more likely, have a very selective memory that filters out anything great that the Tigers have achieved!

I don't think that I've read anything by this journo before - but, given another thread on the forum about how bad they can be, I thought this was a very good piece...... http://www.planetrugby.co.uk/story/0,25883,16016_9484438,00.html and, if his conclusions are right, the PRL and Pro12 are, at lea...

Ourla, you will be witnessing history next week when ('cos of the injuries) you will see the first ever mini rugby team beat a visiting Premiership club

Apologies smudge - who is the training field injury? Please don't say it's yet another injury since this thread started!!

If fit Scully is the next in line and on past performances will not let us down.

Not sure whether I should resurrect this thread or start a new one (Rizzo - please adjudicate) It seems that the RFU and the PRL have finally come to an agreement - increased financial payments and approval to play some matches during the knockout stages. http://www.planetrugby.co.uk/story/0,25883,3...

Which would appear to rule him out, so why have France included him in their squad list ??

He was selected before the IRBs statement.

So Nicki's 11 tries from behind a, let's be honest, a stuttering, injury wrecked side, to make him the top try scorer for 13/14 wasn't "sparkling" ?

If your England squad is spread all over the globe, struggling to get together for anything except match days, will it be as strong as if they all played for English team with agreed release terms? The benefits of the principle are clear (although there are also benefits to overseas experience) but...

I believe that there is (toothless) regulations that stipulate that organisations can not use premium rate numbers as a form of access.
