Leicester Tigers

As a scotsman - always happy to see brilliant rugby - even happier to listen to commentry from the one and only legend - Bill Maclaren - without doubt the best ever commentator in any sport anywhere - The greatest! and a Scot!

I actually thought there was some encouraging signs yesterday Tom Croft - massive plus - we knew he was an extremely promising young 2nd row forward whose pace might make him a quality senior back row forward - yesterday showed how much he has matured in a year and i look forward to seeing him in XV...

Glenn

No Clive Woodward??

one of the few Tigers players who turned up in the Premiership Final last season (one just gone I mean)

Indeed "the mouse" Mclauclan was my all time boyhood hero and indeed the reason for my nom de plume and if i was picking favourites then he would be in (I was tempted) - it is difficult to compare through the ages but Mightymouse was only about 14 1/2 stone which makes you wonder if he was...

Dailywaffle let's face it they are all amazing players and I would be happy to have any of them in my team in your team for example - Mike Gibson was a truely gifted footballer and was a very close call for me - but Dannie Herber was one of the most destructive runners I have ever seen - unfortunatl...

my team

Cotton
Fitzpatrick
Price
Meads
Johnson
Kronfeld
Davies. M
Mourie

Edwards

The lions had beaten the blacks in '71 in NZ and the bla...

Without wishing to be disrespectful to any particular individual - I am very relieved to hear that we are no longer going to have to listen to that style of announcing - I cannot bear the ridicULOUS waY of speaKING iN crescENDO a la Saracens. Personally I think it is imbecilic and demeens the intell...

Stimmos most valuable kick was probably his touch line conversion in Paris of leons try - that forced stade to try and cross the line in the dying minutes The infurating thing about Stimmos kicking is the same as Goode - He would hit absolute belters and the miss a sitter - or usually the miss the s...

I 've said before on here before but I am going to say it again Please do not force us into the Walkers or any other new stadium without terracing Because for the very reason stated above some people cannot or will not or do not like to jump up when something exciting happens - They prefer a more se...
