Re: PRC - Other midweek Matches
Mauger won us that trophy iirc and then was unceremoniously binned the day after

Re: PRC - Other midweek Matches
& the board searched the entire Rugby Playing Community for his replacement.....
Wasn't Geordie in charge of the PRC team that season?
To win is not as important as playing with style!
Re: PRC - Other midweek Matches
That's what I thought. He was on the pitch at the Stoop afterwards. Mauger wasn't, I don't think.
It was also the time of those hideous hurt-your-eyes yellow shirts.

Pretty sure it was known Mauger was doomed & the camera cut to him in the stand or a box.

Re: PRC - Other midweek Matches
I have memories of a trophy being won with Mauger there but it was a The Gardens. Mists of time and all that.
Re: PRC - Other midweek Matches
Sure I can remember Kitchener and a couple of others smiling on the pitch with Mauger after. I commented at the time that the players look happy for once. Perhaps I’m wrong then

Re: PRC - Other midweek Matches
Yes,maybe it was the FG win I'm thinking about. I remember social media blowing up at the time and players were not happy with Maugers treatment.Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Mon May 16, 2022 9:49 pmI have memories of a trophy being won with Mauger there but it was a The Gardens. Mists of time and all that.

Re: PRC - Other midweek Matches
Yes. I think all of those players by that point appeared in the Heineken Cup apart from White perhaps. The previous December Jack Roberts had lined up against Jaco Taute v Munster (James Cronin was on the bench)!RagingBull wrote: ↑Mon May 16, 2022 6:47 pm Leicester: Worth; Betham, Tait (capt), Roberts, Brady; Burns, Kitto; Genge, McGuigan, Balmain, Wells, Kitchener, Williams, Thacker, McCaffrey.

Re: PRC - Other midweek Matches
The policy then as now was that the assistant coaches took charge of the Premier Cup teams whilst the Head Coaches took a step back, then Mauger stepped back for Geordie to take charge recently Borthwick hands over to Brett Deacon, the competition develops coaches as well as players.

Re: PRC - Other midweek Matches
18-16 up at the break could go either way. Finn Smith looks impressive
