Leicester Tigers

Vodacom Bulls have highlighted the difficulties they face with the uncertainty of knowing where their next game in the European Cup will be played when knockout games are a week apart. Players are booked on 8 different flights to get to Saints for next Saturday; some direct, some via Schipol. Simila...

TNT are showing all the Autumn internationals and all 93 Premiership games next season.

The Times today, has a report that Europe and Super Rugby are closer to a Club World Cup in 2028. The Times says the organisers of the Investec Champions Cup, European Professional Club Rugby, the northern hemisphere and South African clubs agreed key principles with their southern hemisphere counte...

I have been wondering in my (many) idle moments why it is that we see so many players having to re-tie their boot laces. I know that in days of old it could be used as a tactical move to give a breather or two but this feels different. People, and a lot of them, seem to be tying their bootlaces beca...

I've a sneaky feeling Saints might turn the Bulls over at the Gardens. Toulouse, Bordeaux and Leinster, I agree, will be the others.

We were largely written off and so could, perhaps, play with a freedom not often seen. It proved to be worthwhile. As others have noted, take away the intercept and add in OHC's try and ... who knows. However, we are now back at the sharp end of the Premiership season. Will we resort to our earlier ...

Effort from the Tigers was excellent but the execution was often poor, panicky (look at OHC's butchered try). Confidence is the key. In our glory days, I remember Tigers being behind and the stadium being quiet. Johnno looked around, the fans perked up, the side perked up and the opposition trembled...

And me. And in their first try too.

Saracens put to the sword by Bordeaux - again.

Wind conditions making a bit of a farce at Sandy Park.

Well, we withstood the siege of Mafeking (pt2) but we shouldn't have been in that position. Far too many errors and poor decisions. When it clicked - for Hassell-Collins' try for example - we looked really good but there are far too few moments like that.

It's like 2 bottom clubs nervously trying to avoid relegation.

In an interview on the BBC, JvP outlines why he has been off for so long. 4 months was the prediction for the ankle injury, and so it proved. But, 1 week before his return he damaged a hamstring, and when that was nearly mended - he did it again, only this time , more seriously. Poor lad. At least h...

Sorry. Perhaps a translation?

So sorry about down to bare bones of fit players for the back 5

Thanks RG

Sadly Martin, like Earle are the two England players Borthwick dreads having out. Martin was limping a lot after 60 minutes v Ireland, was a doubt v France and played on after taking a couple of heavy knocks but had loads of strapping. It’s a shame for us that in a shortened season we will be missi...
