Tigers v Worcester

[Roly]

I respect your opinion but I do believe that Tuilagi Jr deserves his chance, maybe not against Worcester but at some point during this premiership season

So if F Tuilagi isn't good enough to play in the AP yet (and he isn't) then why would you include him in a match day squad other than against Worcester?

1 we are going to play Worcester again
2 There is this magic thing Roly called improvement

Then perhaps he should weave his magic in the AWC until he's demonstrated a consistent improvement that warrants an AP start.

Young Fred will get his chance when due to injuries or his own improvement he is the best available, at present that is probably not the case, we have Williams, Mapapalagi, Fitzgerald, O'Connor, Evans, all I think fit and available for the back row ahead of him. If one of those I have mentioned is used as a lock and another is injured then maybe Fred comes into the reckoning and I don't think he will let us down.

If Worcester turn up this could be hard work.

We've not much on the bench withstanding that the kids are great future prospects.

Our backs look likely they have points in them though.

Maybe we’ll see him on Sunday? If so, that could signify the looming exit...

[BFG]

I fancy this could be a very entertaining game, looking forward to it!
Big game for both sides, Leicester with a tough run of December fixtures and Worcester the need to back up last weeks win!

MOC said he was "scrummaging" earlier in the week but one assumes this game is just too soon. And as we know December is big.

[Ian Cant]

Well Worcester almost at full strength and their pack looks very powerful. Any kind of win will do.

[TigerCam]

4 points or more from this game will be well earned.
