Leicester v Australia
Leicester welcome Australia to Welford Road on 9 November and it it should be a night to remember for all concerned. Australia start their European Tour having just beaten the All Blacks and ending a 10 game losing streak against their Tasman rivals. If you were at the South Africa game last November you know how special such nights are and next week will be no exception.

Re: Leicester v Australia
Eh?
Shouldn't we first be having a thread telling us about the game on 05 Nov when some big boys in green, red and white shirts will play against some other big boys in multi-coloured shirts and then be told to 'bring it on'?

Whatever you do, don't argue. We might never hear from you again.

Re: Leicester v Australia
Wonder how long it will be before somebody mentions that the game on 5 November is only a mickey mouse cup game ?

Re: Leicester v Australia
TM I was watching the Bledisloe cup yesterday and I reckon it will be a cracker !
I actually woke in the night and to get back to sleep i was working through the "second" team I'd put out against the Wallabies " Sad or what ? :)
I'd love to see Mafi given a start. Hawkins at 2 to start as well. Crane behind the scrum to break lines. If we have 'em Speedy at full back given a start too. Maybe give Robinson his start too a "Sheet or bust" investment.
Then I start to struggle. At ten ? We can't go with Ford he gets bullied by Sale a's right now. Wallabies will break him like a plastic ruler. So who ? we'll likely need 36 for Quins and Ospreys so I reckon we're in trouble there.
9 ? I know NOTHING about him but Spice has to star given Grindal's craven cowardice in the face of the opposition gain line this season. Harrison if fit then. If not, we're pooked. A notts or Bedford callup ?
In the scrum too we have challenges. Can we afford Whitey with more important matches within the time period ? If not who ?
Allin all I fear is putting out a championship reserves aide which is a pity cos with a few first teamers i reckon wed have the wallabies midweek side. There I said it ! :)

Re: Leicester v Australia
would you believe I am going to the Luncheon Voucher game between Exeter and Wasps on Saturday. £30 to sit behind the goal!! Booked before I realised it was England-Allblacks.!
Re: Leicester v Australia
dont think it will be as big an occasion as the south africa game. That game had a massive amount of advertisement and was sold out in advance. this game has had little advertising is on a tuesday and people are struggling for cash. i reckon 17000 will be the maximum attendance and anything other than an academy/championship team is too big a risk we have too many injuries already and can not afford to lose the second string players that may need to step up to cover gaps in the first team.

Re: Leicester v Australia
Wouldnt mind seeing Tom Youngs get a start in the LV Cup games or the Aussie match.
I would like too see the academy utilised a bit, as they are in unbelievable form, albeit at academy level. They won 61-0 at the weekend. Would prefer to see them in the LV Cup games however, and more senior players for the Aussie match.

Re: Leicester v Australia
How is his lienout work coming along?
I would hope he is ready to be re-signed by Leicester next season.

Re: Leicester v Australia
well, Glenn Delaney said at the beginning of the season that the aim was to bring him up to Premiership standard by the end of the season.
Personally I dont think his lineout throwing is all that bad but I got shot down in flames on the Unoffy for saying that But Im going to stick to it! His throwing isnt that bad. He gets a lot of stick from certain sections of the Notts lot for it which isnt very nice but as I also pointed out to someone who suggested his lineouts were rubbish, if Notts were losing every single lineout every single game they wouldnt be doing very well, would they?!

I've alwyas been one to knock his lineout skills I don't think he's the best hooker in the championship by a long shot.hww27 wrote:well, Glenn Delaney said at the beginning of the season that the aim was to bring him up to Premiership standard by the end of the season.

Re: Leicester v Australia
I didnt say he was the best hooker in the championship!!!
ok, 6th isnt brilliant but it could be a lot worse....
