Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Tigers will need to intergrate the players next season during the Premiership somehow because their opportunities will be limited because the AWC cup will clash with the U20s Six Nations, if they do that successfully then I believe keeping most of the players is achievable. Something the likes of Quins have failed to achieve which is why they have so much good talent but is not really firing at the moment, we can’t become like them.

Yes, but can the Tigers continue to nurture them and not just let them go? :smt017

Sabbatical over then JP14, just a quick trip to the confessional? :smt001

The France/England game should be a humdinger?

I thought the Wales match was a really poor standard of rugby all round, as bad as I have ever seen down the years at this level!
A couple of the Quins lads and a couple of London Irish lads looked potential high quality players but beyond those I didn't see much.
It will be interesting to watch England against France as I don't think England will bully them as they did the Welsh!
How many former players sons were on show, I got bored of the commentators love in of them, I thought they were the poorest of the lot, but shocking to see a sweatie in white! :smt009
