Re: Tigers vs Gloucester
Well respected by players and supporter alike. Why would anyone want to change things?

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester
I'd be happy for Youngs to stay as club captain and team captain when playing. When Ford is playing I'd make him co-captain.

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester
Mamukashvili only joined right at the end of the post lockdown season. I expect he'll be second choice behind Youngs and pushing him for the starting role once he comes back from international duty.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 9:51 amYes Mamukashvili played after lockdown a few times for us, but Youngs is no.1 choice.
Just looking at performances and the way the team was being picked pre lockdown
(assuming SB picking teams) Mamukashvili is roughly thought to be on a level with Kerr as 3rd choice behind Youngs and Clare.
Obviously as a newish player he may move up the ranks but don't see him unseating Youngs given how he played post lockdown.
Captain not playing every week for rotation is fine, but Youngs (barring injury) is likely to play a good chunk of the games.
Clare did push himself up the rankings under Borthwick though. Reliable lineout and good scrummaging with a liking for hard work go down well. I suspect the Georgian international might offer some more on top of that though.

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester
Is Cyle Brink now fully fit? I'd think that he would surely start 8 if fit for me. He has to start some point if fit and ready to go. Replace with Wiese if available and blood in these two carrying back rowers.
People are suggesting Wiggy to start, agree if fit and ready. Was there any ban or outcome from the baa baas shenanigans that may affect him? If not, then would start I'd assume.

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester
Last I heard Brink was fit and ready to go. I’d expect a back row of Brink, Reffell and Liebenberg with either Wallace or Wiese on the bench - COVID aside.PaleoTiger wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 12:58 pm Is Cyle Brink now fully fit?

Don’t think there is a ban for Wiggy - I could see him and Henry start with White and Bonilla on bench

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester
Don't know him. However given the alternatives (with the honourable exception of Mr Barnes) can he be any worse than the usual lack of inconsistency or incompetence we normally get given from the officials?happywomble wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 12:39 pm Jack Makepeace as man in the middle.

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester
Yes re: Wigglesworth, an independent body is looking into this and will make a judgement, after gathering all of the evidence. Agree with the Good, the bad and the rugby podcast - why not get those involved to work with community rugby when it all comes back, lord knows it's going to be needed. Having Robshaw at your local club would be amazing. Give them 12 hours community service sentences, rather than look to fine them or ban them from playing.PaleoTiger wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 12:58 pm Is Cyle Brink now fully fit?

Wouldn't it be just Tigers' luck if he were banned for a number of games though !

Yorkshire-born Makepeace has refereed in Dubai and Japan before refereeing his first top level game at Parc y Scarlets in 2017.

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester
Before he left Murphy talked about him as a flanker that could play 6 or 7 though Brink did cover 8 for the Lions before leaving SA. Liebenburg finished the season well at 8 so might keep that position, particularly if there's been limited time to practice scrums and lineouts. Brink can slot in at 6 and run round hitting people as he gets back up to speed. Maybe have Wallace on the bench to cause havoc in the second half as people get tired and are maybe a little slower to the breakdown.PaleoTiger wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 12:58 pm Is Cyle Brink now fully fit?

If Wiese is fit and available maybe have him in the bench in place of a lock and look to up the tempo and physicality in the second half. Glaws tight five is an area of weakness with their unavailable options so we could perhaps target our tactics around attacking their backrow with the hope our front five is on top and being able to bring in two fresh backrow in the second half is hard to keep up with.

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester
It’s definitely on BT Sport Extra 2. That’s the red button if watching on Sky (can’t record or live pause) and channel 451 on BT TV. Showing on their TV listings too now if it wasn’t before
