London Irish vs Tigers

[Leicestertinytiger]

Is it televised?

Nope

Might be on RugbyPass! You’ll be able to watch it somewhere online.

No Liebenberg, is he injured? Surprised to see Taufua involved from the off. Don’t want to overplay him, considering he has been playing non stop since February (admittedly bit of a break between Super Rugby and Mitre 10)

Polota-Nau, Liebenberg and Veainu are injured.

I'm sure they consulted him before making the decision. Throw 'em in I say. The more they play together the better. we can't expect miracles from the off, but the only way they're going to integrate is to...…….well...….integrate them. And that means match day experience. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do, particularly with Sione at 6, which I think is his preferred position?

I have to say with the exception of Jordan Taufua I am pretty underwhelmed, I can't see us wining away, we need the new SA back fits, TV is also a huge loss :(

And many people were whingeing an wailing that we were going to get thrashed last week as well......

Not that bad a side, at all. Not surprised there are injuries since my suspicion has always been that many imports are undercooked when it comes to the Prem. Certainly that has been the view of several such as O'Callaghan.

I totally agree I was one who thought that also, but I still do not think that it is a team that fills me with hope, PLEASE go ahead and prove me wrong, more than happy to be proved wrong again this week

I'm guessing this is a case of bedding him in with the language, lineout calls etc.

Yes I have now seen on Twitter:

• Polota-Nau (Elbow)

• Liebenberg (Ankle)

• Veainu (concussion)

On a similar note Exeter are bringing (some) England WC players back in this weekend. Slade being one

Possibly. Expect him to come on alongside Gigena again.
