Will be a tough game Saints have a good squad, Ethan Grayson is highly rated.
Glynn, Hardwick and Ilione who all started the U18 final last season are missing from the squad.

But that being said we do have a good squad still, Edwards, O.Smith, K.Smith, Muncaster, Vanes have all been involved in the England Age group stuff.

First game without Head Coach Allen and Academy Manager Jamie Taylor also.

I haven't watched the Academy as a team since 2017/8, we appear to have some good names/players there but Saints are on the up and the last few times I watched, they thrashed us, so hopeful that we can improve on those days.

Hasn't our academy been undefeated for two seasons now?

Be different this season with the changeover in leadership but hopefully we've learnt the lessons from what worked previously and are keeping this values and systems going whilst imparting Smith's depth of experience of top class rugby.

There's some bright talents again it seems to let's hope we keep developing then right. Want that conveyor belt to the first team running.

Another win for Tigers Academy.
With the game 18-22, Tigers gather a loose ball and go 40m to score a TBP try.

Giving us a Win of 18-27.

Sounds like a good performance.

From what I gather on the tweets
Singer, Edwards scored not sure on the others

Takes try tally so far to
Singer x 3
Edwards
Vane
(two to be named)
