Let's hope that incidents do not occur, over which we have no control, which cause us to lose players for a number of very important weeks - injuries or cards. And obviously keen our discipline!OakhamTiger32 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 1:16 pm Although that being said he does like to be the centre of attention and Sent 2 players off last week for head butts that the TMO told him was nothing more than a yellow.. he wanted red for both and then the cards were subsequently overturned. But I’m confident we will find a way..

Confident of a home win with that squad, decent Briz side but fortress Welford Road and a noisy crowd should see us home.

That’s strong. As mentioned before: suffocating defence, beat them up in the forwards, positional play, lots of mauls and forward tries. Thacker at 2 should indicate we can boss their scrum.
Only thing that has looked weak of late is our rolling maul from lineouts. Hopefully we can resurrect that weapon.

Tigers have never lost with Montoya, Liebenberg and Wiese in the starting XV.

I think he’s my favourite player. An absolute colossus. No nonsense, just gets on with it. Hard as nails. Great over the ball. Set piece rock solid. I can’t see a weakness.ourla wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 2:44 pmI'm the same.westwinds31 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 12:14 pm Just seeing the name "Montoya" on the team sheet fills me with joy and confidence.

Great stat, Tiglon. Had not realised that. Like others, I rate Montoya really highly, superb signing.
Re: Bristol (Home) - 30th April 2022 KO 15:00
I’d say he’s the worlds best hooker at present and you would have to say Genge is in the top 3 worlds best LH. Put the polar bear in there and that’s a formidable front row!westwinds31 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 6:50 pmI think he’s my favourite player. An absolute colossus. No nonsense, just gets on with it.

Great squad. Bristol play a similar way to Quins and are more confident after a great result v Gloucester. I’m sure we won’t take anything for granted. They’ve nothing to lose. Should be a great game.
Re: Bristol (Home) - 30th April 2022 KO 15:00
Is the game on the red button on BT or is there anywhere else I can watch it please?

Re: Bristol (Home) - 30th April 2022 KO 15:00
Will be interesting to see how the attack functions without a second playmaker in the backs. Does put a lot on Ford.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Burns come on at fullback at some point.

Re: Bristol (Home) - 30th April 2022 KO 15:00
I'm not convinced by the whole "two playmakers" thing. I don't think Burns does any more "playmaking" at 15 than Steward or anyone else does, we just make assumptions because he's primarily a fly half but when at 15 he mostly seems to play the role of a 15.
