Leicester v Northampton - Who on earth will play?

[Ian Cant]

Great! More games without our international players. Who is likely to play on Saturday or can we get the game postponed!! Fed up with internationals already and they have'nt even started!!

[seaweed]

First with boots and not drunk stands a good chance of a run out.

[seaweed]

I know I will be corrected but we have a squad of approx. 35.

8 England internationals
1 Argentinian
Castro for Italy ?
9 Injured. (I think)

Total left 16.

Full team plus 1. Could be fun.

[captain_insaino]

Well if the game isn't postponed the only way we will be able to play is with a heavy use of acadamy players. Not good

[kingol22]

we do have the academy players plus the argies didnt want ayerza.

[seaweed]

Fantastic we now have 17. Any other additions to this ?

[tigerburnie]

There's 23 lads turning out against Wuss tonight who all would relish the chance,some with international experience,stop worrying

[seaweed]

Worry. The bar will be open won't it ?

Not all is lost.

[MJ Chairman]

Apologies if I have missed something obvious but where does it say that the EPS players will not be available for their clubs the weekend before the AIs start

[Tigerbeat]

Not sure what the current status is with EPS players being released a week prior to the internationals.

Other teams have been forced to give their EPS players a break during the season in the first few games that have been played.

I hope that the players are made available to the Clubs. It is the last thing that Tigers need.

Can anyone clarify the situation with EPS players?

As far as i am aware we have rested our EPS players for a GP week as per the agreement not sure about the other clubs.

[Ian Cant]

Heard on the radio that England players to meet up this week-end and won't be available to play!! Hoping they are wrong!! If not then we'll just have to stop the Saints from marching on by frightening em with the Academy lads!!
Come on you Tigers.

[Richard]

I can see this weekend match if we haven't got our fit international players being an open game with less emphasis on defence as our A team players are not as strong in that area. Hopefully everyone will step up to the mark and provide an exciting try fest.

[Bill W (2)]

Worry not. And KEEP THE FAITH!

Young men who have not yet learnt that what they are attempting is impossible will rise to the occasion and make it possible!

And we will encourage them!

[drc_007]

Well perhaps Twelvetrees will get a start.
