Leicester Tigers

Gigena is unavailable for the next few weeks due to visa issues according to Adam Whitty on Twitter. Not great timing if so. Facundo has been in good form and would have been pushing Bateman for the starting shirt this weekend. I expect we will see Leatigaga covering LH on the bench. Or the immedia...

Brilliant news.

A lot of this England team want revenge for St.Patrick’s Day 2018, but I doubt a repeat of August’s thrashings is on the cards.

Gough, Lavin and Smith and have all re-signed for the club.

I guess we will see, the rest week gives Galthié plenty of time to accommodate.

There’s always the option of moving Fickou to 13, Ntamack to 12, start Jalibert and have Vakatawa and Thomas on the wings.

So I assume you think England should have been kicked out of the 2003 World Cup then?

No news on Penaud, for the moment. I hope he’ll be fit to go to Cardiff cos calling on Huget would be a backward step, in my opinion. It seems that Penaud is unlikely to be in the squad for Cardiff. Even worse news is that Vincent Rattez who was a more than able replacement in the first two matches...

Cortes needed the gametime and unfortunately for the guy, Heyes has come up really well, Leatigaga has settled in and Cole is surplus to England requrements.

Forgot about Minozzi. Wasps team are very good on paper but they have been playing very poorly until last time out.

To be honest the loss of rugby from the BBC would be no great shame. I for one have become utterly sick of the Celtic bias in both coverage and commentry by the BBC. I disagree, with ITV championing the “I won a World cup so I’m right” brigade they’re no better. The only bias Cotter suffers from is...

Fair point Sam, it will be a compelling fixture I predict especially with Wasps only losing Launchbury (I suspect Umaga will be released) and our pack largely untouched.

Should be a win for us, bp might be unrealistic as Wasps have been bolstered by two good away wins in the Premiership. 1 Bateman 2 Youngs 3 Cole 4 Spencer 5 Lavanini 6 Liebenberg 7 Taufua 8 Kalamafoni 9 White 10 Hardwick 11 Olowofela 12 Eastmond 13 Taute 14 Holmes 15 Veainu 16 TPN 17 Gigena 18 Leati...

Vincent was assured in defence but apart from Ntamack’s try, the French attack was lacking without Vakatawa. Bit of a worry about Rattez, will Penaud be fit in time or will it be a return for soldier boy Huget?

Take the offer from Toulouse, Ben, if you play well enough at Champions Cup level there’s a good enough chance Gatland will still select you for the Lions and you would have got 100 caps for England by the end of the season one can safely assume, unlikely you will make the World Cup so what more can...

French just weren’t very cohesive with the game in the bag, defence still pretty good, Olivon and Aldritt my contenders for Player of the Tournament, Willemse had a good 45 minutes. If they win the breakdown and don’t give so many points away I’m still backing them to beat the Welsh.
