Very much hoping that TPN starts the game. I'm a big fan of OTY but Tatafu is the better player and I think starting with him and having Tom as an impact replacement works better than the other way around.

I'm always nervous before our Friday games. I sincerely hope they give no reason for it. Come on Tigers!!!!!

Why is it this is our only Friday fixture in the Premiership, second in our season (we had one in the AWC)? On the other hand, it seems that Bath get most of the Friday fixtures. What’s going on here?

JP14 you’ve been on the funny juice again.
With Falcons scrummaging frailties shown against Gloucester Cole will start and Wells will be on the bench.

I think the OP is spot on there
I said what I hope it was not what I expected it to be. Please read my message properly before accusing me of drinking
Sorry if you’ve had a humour bypass. Maybe you should clarify hope and expect in future.

As people prefer Saturday 3pm kick offs so Tigers would never choose a Friday night game and BT haven't moved any of our other games to a Friday night apart from this one.

In past seasons we have been unfairly treated with Friday night matches. This year it has been fairer. As we have the largest fan base in the Premiership and own our own ground so benefit from corporate sales we lose more than other clubs when games are switched to a Friday night, certain other teams are for various reasons unable to play on Fridays yet receive the same TV funding without the loss that a Friday brings. I believe there are some teams that actually benefit from a Friday kick-off!
