Given the fly-half injuries would it be worth having Costelow on the bench?

He's older than Ford was when he made his premiership debut and a matter of months younger than Marcus Smith when he first started for Quins.

The lad is very young but also very talented.

I'm sure it was considered. He may well be in the squad just in case of injuries in the warm up. Given the slow ball our forwards are providing to our half backs at present Geordie is maybe holding him back so that he doesn't end up having a nightmare debut which knocks his confidence.

I think we can win this. Ugly. Up the jumper stuff. Our pack is stronger, our backs weaker so keep it with the handsome chaps up front and keep it simple. I don't expect a spectacle!

What's ugly about winning? If we do up the jumper stuff and win, it most certainly won't be ugly.

that scrum was on elf the worst refereed in the history of the game. Their entire back row disengaged (as did one of the locks IIRC), walked around and tackled our 8 whilst the ball was in the scrum.

There were so many penalty offences but the referee decided it should be play on :smt017

On recent form I am expecting a game for 60 mins, whereby we may well be leading or losing by 7 points.

The final 20 is the ball breaker ( sorry- back breaker).

Am I wrong to think the tide should turn a little in our favour ????
Come on Tigers..I need a better weekend to last week. England, Tigers,Foxes. :smt007 :smt007

Definitely change Ford for Costelow, White for Abbott - much sparkier.

Please get the line correct RB.

You mean 'Who?'

For which the correct response is, 'Who's on first.'

I've stuck a bet on Tigers winning by between 1 and 12 points.

I'm so sorry. We're going to lose.

I am nervous about this, worst Tigers season for 341 years. We could go below Bournemouth.

Game about to start on BT Sport. My question to you all is should I put myself through the pain or go and watch some paint dry?
