Start at home to Newcastle, finish with Northampton at home.

[jgriffin]

A nice fixture list! I like the finish

[Tigerbeat]

Not a bad set of fixtures during the Autumn internationals and Six nations

[Nailsworthstiger]

What a good grouping of fixtures we start with. Realistically I don't see why we cant win 8 out of the first 10.

[MrPartridge]

I predict the moans will be:

1. Friday night game with Quins - personally I like evening games but a slight pity that this is Quins as they are one of the few visiting teams who bring a decent away support along

2. No home game over the festive period - unless you count Bath early Jan

I am slightly surprised at Saints v Tigers last game of the season. I suspect it may be a bit like Saracens this year - i.e. teams with eyes on forthcoming matches.

Overall, quite a reasonable set of games… chance to visit Exeter, Bath and Glaws in decent weather!

Anyone know when the European fixtures are announced?

[Suz]

I like the finish.
Just need the euro games confirmed and we are set

[Nizzle1]

so first game back in the new season, we shall have a tuilagi reunion at welford road! welcome home alesana, but pray his time in japan has made him soft enough for manu to come out on top. what a way to start the season!

[divingrob]

The Christmas fayre is going to be a low key event this year.

[InGuinnessVeritas]

Don't forget Andy. Three Tuilagi brothers on the pitch at the same time?

Autumn International Period :

R7: Saturday 15/11/14 – 15.00 – Saracens (H) – Welford Road
R8: Sunday 23/11/14 – 14.30 – London Welsh (A) – Kassam Stadium
R9: Saturday 29/11/14, 15.00 – Wasps (H) – Welford Road

Six Nations Period :

R14: Saturday 14//02/15, 15.00 – Gloucester Rugby (H) – Welford Road
R15: Saturday 21/02/15, 15.00 – London Irish (A) – Madejski Stadium
R16: Saturday 28/02/15, 15.00 – Sale Sharks (H) – Welford Road
R17: Sunday 08/03/15, 15.00 – Newcastle Falcons (A) – Kingston Park

During the international periods, is it better to play :

1. the big (similarly depleted) teams where we miss out on the best players going toe to toe
2. the bottom teams that you would expect to get 5 points from (with a full strength side) but may slip up against or only get 4 points from
or 3. those in the middle that will think they have a chance of turning us over ?

Shame about the Sarries game, but they also have Saints & Exeter during the autumn period and then Bath & Sale during the 6N. Saints also have some tough games during that time, so it would appear we have been treated well by the fixtures computer !!
Loving the final game choice too - Saints at home, with who knows what at stake for both teams = bring it on

[Jay C]

a chance to visit Exeter, Bath and Glaws in decent weather!

A week in the west country in September looks very appealing !

[h's dad]

I predict the moans will be:

1. Friday night game with Quins - personally I like evening games but a slight pity that this is Quins as they are one of the few visiting teams who bring a decent away support along

I was thinking most would welcome 10 out of 11 home fixtures scheduled to kick off at 3pm on a Saturday.

[Alatoruk]

3pm until BTsport decide differently

[AndyM]

Exciting stuff! When do we hear about the European fixtures?
