Re: Newcastle v Leicester
Difficult conditions in the 2nd half into the wind & rain. Plus Cockers used all the subs to give him chance to rest the front 3, Deacon & Moody in the forwards and Allen, Youngs and Flood in the backs.
It made the game a little disjointed but gave good game time to Johne Murphy as well as the subs and a welcome return for Lucas Speedy Amorosino.
Sorry Bleth but your commentary, expecially in the second half when you were trying to piece together a Tigers 15 who now play for other Premiership teams, was at times painful to listen to. Constant drivel indeed lol

Re: Newcastle v Leicester
There's no point busting a gut and increasing the risk of injury when you are playing in poor conditions. The job was done in the first half and a number of key players were rested in the second - great day at the office IMHO.
I saw Marika Vunibaka play

Sam W not on Sky so will get about 2 minutes. It will all be about Sarries and how brilliant they are.
Of course this is my own opinion and other posters may have a different perceived factual viewpoint.

Re: Newcastle v Leicester
Not too sure how many matches I have been to this season, but i suspect it is a fair few. Anyway, at every match I always see Billy 12trees warming up before hand. Why is this? no other player seems to have to warm up then not play, so not too sure why he has been singled out?

Re: Newcastle v Leicester
Listening to the game on the radio it was very apparent just how significant Lewis Moody's contibution to today's game was - we're going to miss that fella next year!

Re: Newcastle v Leicester
I switched off as soon as I heard Haymans wasnt playing, as the dynamic duo always make me wish i had just read the match report instead!
Re: Newcastle v Leicester
One of you faithful travellers, please tell me how Jordan Crane played....just so that I can complain without having seen the match!
Re: Newcastle v Leicester
How sweet for all concerned if Leicester could finish the regular season with 2 bonus point wins against Harlequins and Saracens. Nothing is impossible and Leicester are in great order after that win at Newcastle today. Next game against Quins - bring it on.
