Just checked on Tigers web site fixtures and although not sure if 100% accurate inc Europe rounds but excluding all semi and finals. BT are televising 8 more of our remaining fixtures.

More TV fixtures are still to be agreed for the second half of the season….all European games are covered.

Are we on the red button?

[Redstripeman]

No JvP

If its not injury or rest I would guess its because LI score a lot of 2nd half points and we may want Wigglesworth to close the game out

I would imagine this is the likely reason.. makes sense

. I am not too sure about that, Wigglesworth has not been good and asking him to close out the game with his kicking as ineffective as Youngs.
Would rather have JVP sniping and thinking outside of the box and with the ability to counter should LI chose to focus on attack.
Would be surprised to see Wigglesworth play for us again, got the impression he was on the verge of winding down.

Don't think so. BT are just back to showing a few games a weekend now fans are back.

That's all of WW's wages as part of our salary cap then......

Who will be the second SH during the Autumn Internationals or 6N if Youngs is away then? Law and Edwards are promising youngsters but I’d expect Wiggo to provide cover with JvP starting

[TigerFeetSteve]

If we want to challenge in the league we need to be more than one injury (during international periods) away from having Edwards and Law as our only two SH options.

(Notice Simmons is playing 15 for Jersey today)

This means we need an experienced option and Wigglesworth is that, he may not be the player he was but he is quality cover, whats more as one of the coaches he intimately knows our attack and defence structure, rather than a loanee that we get in for cover.

Personally giving him gametime before we 100% require him is exactly why SB rotates, JVP having a break is perfectly fine and he knows how well thought of he is by staff...

Spot on, Steve. If we go into the last quarter with a 5-10 pt lead, I’d be perfectly happy seeing WW come on.

Just checking out the Premiership Rugby website TV options and it looks like last weekends Sat matches were loaded on about 4am on Sun morning. So looks like it will be a bit of a wait trying to avoid finding out the score but hopefully it will be worth it

Just watched the last 5 minutes of the Sarries game again while I was on there.. never get bored of seeing those last 5 minutes and the smile on Ridley's face at the end

[JGT57]

Seems to be loads of us here!

[Shortbloke66]

Seems more tigers than Irish where I’m sitting.

[kpj tiger]

Irish with the early advantage from a nice 50/22 by Jackson

[ABClub]

Anyone had luck finding a stream or is it just not being broadcast?

All the usual streams for the non broadcast games seem to have disappeared this season, however there are ways of watching if your a bit more tech savvy
