While I remember, it turns out this isn't on the tellybox.
You'll need either a Bet365 account or find a sub-legal stream.

God bless the bbc....
"In another alteration for Leicester, Will Evans comes in for Marcus Ayerza, who is unavailable after picking up a calf strain which will keep him out for "at least two or three weeks" according to Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill."
Im guessing Evans has had a good week bulking.

See Rob Hawkins is on their bench. Thought he'd retired from Falcons and joined the local Constabulary.
Give blood, play rugby!!

He's been a Community copper waiting for a berth in the big boys AFAIK, so called in at no small £££ as a stopgap.wardy wrote:See Rob Hawkins is on their bench. Thought he'd retired from Falcons and joined the local Constabulary.
I am quite excited to be going to Brizzle tomorrow!

Re: Bristol match thread
With a vocal home crowd on a cold Friday night, Tigers will need to be fully focussed. Seems that Cocker is wary. Briz have been putting in better performances lately, and their last, at Bath, will have given them some confidence.
Nice to see Manu back in the squad - just hope that he gets through unscaythed.

Re: Bristol match thread
We look a bit weak in the front row to me when our starters get subbed or carded!
Bristol look weak at half back judging by recent TV viewings . Fingers crossed .

Re: Bristol match thread
Results wise this is a no win game. Even if we spank them by 50 and take 5 points it will just be deemed as expected.
Where it could be useful is having a look at Hamilton @ 8 and Worth @ 15, game time for Evans, Genge facing his past and getting Manu on the pitch. Small wins besides hopefully doing the expected in terms of result.

JPP is still not in this weeks SA team 23 - at least he will come back refreshed for Saints.http://www.planetrugby.com/news/coetzee ... changes-2/Soggypitch wrote:Yes a good team, hopefully O'Connor just rested, likewise McCaffrey who is on the bench.
Fantastic to see Manu back, hope he has a good 20 mins at 13, not 12, and shows he is ready to start v Saints next week.
I've asked this before but does anyone know if JPP, Veainu and Logo are back next week?
No further International games for Tonga & Samoa so Veainu & Wooly Pully should be back + a rested O'Connor & M Williams?
Re: Bristol match thread
Samoa play Canada on Friday night and Tonga play Italy on Saturday afternoon. I believe Veianu sustained an injury vs USA.wormus wrote:JPP is still not in this weeks SA team 23 - at least he will come back refreshed for Saints.http://www.planetrugby.com/news/coetzee ... changes-2/Soggypitch wrote:Yes a good team, hopefully O'Connor just rested, likewise McCaffrey who is on the bench.

Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

Re: Bristol match thread
The Tram selected should be strong enough to bring back a bonus point win, but does Manu's selection on the bench point to a lack of match fitness or are there still problems in the groin area? Anyway I hope he gets at least 20 mins match time.

So we're planning to run them over then or is this a reference to Manu's wrecking ball skills?
Tigers for the premiership and European Cup. Get behind the team and make some noise!!

To clarify, you're asking if the man who has been out since early September is short of match fitness?Noddy555 wrote:The Tram selected should be strong enough to bring back a bonus point win, but does Manu's selection on the bench point to a lack of match fitness or are there still problems in the groin area?

Re: Bristol match thread
I wonder if we will see a similar scoreline to when we last played them which was in 2009.
We won 73-3
