Steve Borthwick

Borthwick will be a great coach.
But I can see why Murphy might be a good ying to his yang, especially with more the behind the scenes work.

I hope nobody buys him a drone!

In all seriousness I don’t think he’s had enough praise. LTTV is giving supporters and insight we’ve never had previously and it’s fantastic!

Let's hope that the interesting content continues even when we are playing again, not the usual run of the mill stuff.
Bondi does Scrum Practice?
Behind the scenes at all parts of the club would be good viewing, proper one to one chats etc.

+1, he's a breath of fresh air on the Soshul Meja
Compared to other clubs we have been seriously lagging behind in this department!

"If you are not willing to do the hard work that we need at Leicester Tigers then you are not going to be part of this team, our fans expect it, our board expect it, I as coach expect it from myself, my coaches and the players"

Music to my ears.

Only thing I didn’t get was why did the camera angle keep changing?

At first I thought it was to give some idea of movement, as he was a bit static

Impressed by his message(s), let's hope, given time, it translates into improved performances/results

[chewbacca]

I'm excited. Great coaches always seem to achieve results beyond the sum of the parts.

Absolutely RB opt in or ship out.

Everything starts with hard work.

It’s well publicised that he gets to know players inside out. With people like that they identify them pretty quickly but get every last bit out of those who have the true grit and honesty to push themselves to the next level. Really excited for the future of this club.

I would not have expected anything less. I am really looking forward to witnessing the culmination of all that hard work and dedication on the pitch.

Music to all our ears, don’t get me wrong we have had some (on paper) quality players over recent seasons but because they haven’t bought into the work ethic required we have suffered & underperformed as result.

[wellstiger]

I'm already training.......hard.........
Cause I don't want a telling off by Mr Borthwick. Plus I buy into what he is trying to achieve. If the squad has any doubts????????
Thank you Mr B and don't you look right in a Tigers shirt............

[ads]

All of the stuff he says is obvious and the sort of things you would expect to hear a new coach say, but it's really good to hear some straight talking.
Right off the bat we know where we stand and what he wants from the squad, the coaches, the management and the fans!
The players will know what they need to do and if they don't, they wont get picked. Good to hear him talk about the young lads coming through and the players we've signed. And the fact he mentioned a couple of other signings as well....

[RichieB]

I know it is based only on a fleeting glimpse, but it seems that he has a very clear and straightforward approach to the game, so you'd assume his tactics would be along the same lines. Clear plan, do the basics well, play to your strengths, be fitter and more determined than the opposition.

Sometimes watching other teams, perhaps like Exeter, you don't see they are doing anything special. But what they do is very consistent and at a very high standard.

[Coops]

Just watched it - i'm scared!

Great to hear him speak - the blend of the coaches and the blend of the players, and what is expected from them going forward.
