This Thursday (i.e. the 7th) at 11am.

Never mind the Foxes Fixtures when are the Fixtures for the Tigers announced? As stated in this very thread, 16th July. Stated wrongly earlier in this thread - the correct date is Thursday 7th July. :smt003 http://www.leicestertigers.com/news/24717.php#.V2O_SbsrK71 European Champions Cup pools draw...

Japan beating SA despite not being part of the Rugby Championship, isn't an opinion.... You only have to look at the 7s series to see that rugby is developing apace in countries outside the top tier. It is also not opinion that regardless of what you chuck at a nation in terms of development, some ...

Per Neil Fissler and Premiership Rugby on Twitter:

Tom Youngs cited for allegedly punching the Stade Francais Paris prop, Rabah Slima.

Clearly not much discount for remorse unless they deemed it mid entry. Bye bye England career. He pleaded not guilty. 12 weeks as the entry point (low). 1 week added 'as a deterrent according to World Rugby's regarding offences of this nature'. 3 weeks deducted for Ashton's good character and his g...

If Racing Metro win tomorrow, Tigers need to secure a win against Stade next weekend to secure being seeded second for the quarter finals. if the first and second seeds win there respective quarter finals, the semi finals will be played in the country where the teams are from......on a normal groun...

Great second half display by Ospreys to beat Clermont AND deny them a LBP.
