A good side in the circumstances although I do get the shakes when I see Jimmy Grindall at 9. It's such a shame Harry's career is over he may have been released from England duty on a weekend like this and we could really do with a player like him!
I saw Marika Vunibaka play

Well - we have decided that we won't be there tomorrow night - We do feel a bit guilty about it, but we just can't face driving up from Bristol on a Friday afternoon / evening for a 7.45pm kickoff - or the drive home again afterwards - it knackers you for the weekend!

We came to the Wallabies game, but driving up on a Tuesday is very different from a Friday (and it was the Wallabies after all)

We are both really fed up with Friday night kickoffs - I think the supporters should have a say in changes like this - Saturday afternoons - 3pm kickoff (maybe 5pm a few times) - lets stick to that Tigers!

Meanwhile, how about a bit of a refund on our season tickets?

[quote="Tigerbob"]Leicester Tigers (v Harlequins, Welford Road, Friday 7.45pm)
15 Geordan Murphy (c)
14 Scott Hamilton
13 Matt Smith
12 Anthony Allen
11 Manu Tuilagi
10 Billy Twelvetrees
9 James Grindal
1 Peter Bucknall
2 George Chuter
3 Julian White
4 Ed Slater
5 George Skivington
6 Thomas Waldrom
7 Craig Newby
8 Jordan Crane

Replacements
16 Rob Hawkins
17 Fraser Balmain
18 Ryan Bower
19 Steve Mafi
20 Geoff Parling
21 Jason Spice
22 George Ford
23 Lee Robinson

Harlequins team: 15 Mike Brown, 14 George Lowe, 13 Ollie Smith, 12 Jordan Turner-Hall, 11 Tom Williams, 10 Nick Evans, 9 Karl Dickson; 1 Ceri Jones, 2 Joe Gray, 3 James Johnston, 4 Tomas Vallejos, 5 George Robson, 6 Chris Robshaw (c), 7 Will Skinner, 8 Tom Guest. Reps: 16 Chris Brooker, 17 Mark Lambert, 18 John Andress, 19 Ollie Kohn, 20 Maurie Fa'asavalu, 21 Dave Moore, 22 Benjamin Urdapilleta, 23 Ross Chisholm

The starting 15 look good but the replacement front row looks a tad inexperienced.

I searched for Fraser Balmain and Ryan Bowers, and found them lurking in the Academy Squad, Fraser only had his picture (I'm guessing he's about 12!), and Ryan Bowers is a tad short of 20 - whoop![/quote]

Where is Ben Woods is he injured, I am sure I saw his name at 7 somewhere :smt017

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

Boris underwent reconstructive surgery just over 2 weeks ago, to rebuild his lower eye socket.
Lets all hope for a swift recovery.
