Re: A Tuilagi - the sublime to the ridiculous

Whether the ball was in or out, (I thought it was still in play IMO), you still need to play to the referee's whistle, as they say. Tuilagi does appear to have moments where he switches off, but there are few better finishers in the game and opposition defences are always wary of that!

Re: Leinster's Controversial Win

Hi Tiger Lion, it may just be the way that Magner's League and Aviva Premiership games get refereed that is the controversy. To be honest, though, I was at the Leicester - Gloucester game yesterday and the general concensus was that Leinster were the better team overall. I, for one, as an Irishman s...

Re: Lions Head Coach

Would not be surprised if it was Johnson, North Sea Tiger, given the persona of the man, but never rule out some role for 'The Lions King', Sir Ian McGeechan...when he came to Welford Road with the Bath team I asked him if he was going to get involved in the next Lions tour. His comments suggested t...

I will definately be considering the athletics (and maybe the cycling), but will try to go to some of the earlier rounds. The prices for the main events and fi...

Re: Players communication skills !!!!! (sorry)

Yes, I have to say that Tigers players have always been very friendly,certainly at Welford Road, defeat or otherwise...I suppose we do not know the full extent of post match team talks/interviews etc to make them less so on this occasion. Nice though that they still managed to stand for photos etc.....

Re: Tigers New Signing?

I seem to recall Niall Morris playing for Leinster in the pre season friendly against Tigers last August. From memory, I think he had a decent game. Maybe he was sounded out about a possible move to Tigers then? Whether we need another full back/wing is another matter...he will probably get game tim...

Re: A Two in One Day

Hello,this is my first post here so welcome one and all! I just wanted to respond to this post about players signing autographs. Indeed, Tigers players are exemplary in obliging fans and, to be truthful, I have yet to have a very negative experience in collecting any Premiership/Magners/Heineken tea...
