To be honest, that monstrous Genge carry on Sunday will be a special memory, reminded me fondly of his similar carry vs Munster at Welford Road in 2017. Tigers at the U Arena showed similar grit and determination that they did 2 Christmases ago.

Tuilagi scoring in the A&L and Members Stand corner v Glaws, the noise level when he dived over... Amazing!!
Also port of Dover on way home from Paris win, rugby balls being passed and kicked all over the place waiting for the ferry. And then the captain of the ferry congratulating us on the success of the club we love.

There's quite a few.

-South Africa victory

-Tom Varndells try against Irish where he ran the whole length of the pitch to dot the ball down before the defender

-Manu Tuilagis try where Alesana passes it to him and Manu knocked over a couple of defenders and scored in the corner (against Sarries I think)

-The victory against Ospreys where we came from behind with Ben Youngs and Manu tries

-Johnno finding a gap and then dummying the full back and sidestepping him to score

To name just a few

There's been so many amazing memories from our club that I can't name them all!

The one I will always remember Tudor could not pronounce the names, "A Fujian replaced by another Fujian"
Of Nmandi Ezulike.....(spelling) "The player coming off is being replaced by the player going on." I believe it was against Worcester. Tudor's last game.

Stimmos long range winner v Scarlets at Forest. The win in Pau and the night after with all the players. Ending up in the Red Jaune in Beziers. Paris Final. Cardiff Final. Plus loads of Championship Finals which we took for granted. Oh and Jaco v Ulster at home when we walloped them 40 odd after they had annihilated us the week before.

Plus---------Deano( allegedly) smashing Phil Pugh, of Neath the supposed hardest player in Wales at WR, leaving him prone to be carried off on a stretcher . Google Pugh ...

Hipkiss Vs Saracens. I'm sure that one's fixed in all our minds. What a finish when a win seemed beyond us.

I enjoyed this game, poor Nick Abendanon.
