Leicester Tigers

Wow! Close call with their number 1 there. Just as well he’s not their number 2...

If it can kill off rugby, why is boxing even a thing?

Ugh. Freddie on the wing. I know there’s probably a good reason for that, but…

Then again, I’m happy in that I feel we ought to get the full five points.

(Mods feel free to move this thread if more suitable to Chit Chat) I've just recevied a £100 from a company called 'Civil Enforcement' for parking on the above site for the Quins game. I usually park either here or more commonly at the MS Therapy Centre. I did notice this time that the steward asked...

Oooooo. Noice.

Dickens is absent on leave atm. I think Saturday showed the importance of Dan Kelly to the team in how he distributes the ball and works with Pollard to get the ball wider, whilst still fixing the defence in the midfield. It is very noticeable that Pollard plays his best rugby, and by association, ...

Whatever you may say re Saints forwards, it's their backs that worry me: they might not have populated many RWC squads, but they're a well-oiled unit. I think we'll have to have our 'A' game defence... You could say the same about the Quins’ backs. Whilst they did have some success against us I tho...

Surprises Vanes No Shillcock No OHC or Porter either. I expected Solomone in place of Guy (glad Dan saw what we saw last week) and it will be an opportunity to give Matt some game time, but I am surprised at no OHC. Maybe just a case of squad rotation more than anything else. Odd match to do it in ...

I’d be interested to know what the relative international and club caps were for that fixture. What made me laugh was Flats saying that the Sarries returnees were given the option of playing at home to Tigers today, or next week away at Newcastle!

Booted out?!! Hardly. We took a chance on him and his stock has risen highly whilst he’s been here. He’s been fab for us no doubt, but I’m sure both parties were fully aware of the situation.

Now Hansen is weighing in. It wasn’t a red and ban the TMO. Talk about sour grapes. Don’t hear the Saffers complaining. Funny that.

I agree. It looks ‘unnatural’ and therefore doesn’t seem right to me. Like not feeding the ball straight into a scrum and having large men with pieces of foam (or whatever it is) strapped to their thighs to assist their team mates to hurl them into the air. No caterpillars, have the ref put the ball...

What? You know them personally?

I can’t see why he would go at the moment. I’m sure in his mind he had written off the next World Cup cycle by resigning and taking this job. The Oz job is a poisoned chalice and besides which he has his family settled here and his girls are at school. There’s plenty of time for him and that job, as...

Of course he has. He’s going to Japan…
