Re: Tigers v Saints
It's worth saying there's a chance we'll be putting out a very different team with all the returnees. It's possible we'll see:
1 Genge
2 Youngs
3 Cole
4 Spencer
5 Kitchener
6 Williams
7 BOC
8 Thompson
9 Youngs
10 Ford
11 May
12 Eastmond
13 Manu
14 Holmes
15 Worth
16 Kerr
17 Gigena
18 Heyes
19 Wells
20 Evans
21 White
22 Toomua
23 SAR/Sarto/Olowofela
1 Genge
2 Youngs
3 Cole
4 Spencer
5 Kitchener
6 Williams
7 BOC
8 Thompson
9 Youngs
10 Ford
11 May
12 Eastmond
13 Manu
14 Holmes
15 Worth
16 Kerr
17 Gigena
18 Heyes
19 Wells
20 Evans
21 White
22 Toomua
23 SAR/Sarto/Olowofela
Never believe generalisations
Re: Tigers v Saints
Not sure O’connor is fit, so it’s Evans to start and F.Tuilagi on the bench for me.

Re: Tigers v Saints
I'm taking my 36 year old son and, if we don't give Saints a good thumping, it could be his last game!
Happy days clearing straw from the pitch before the Baa-Baas games! KBO

Re: Tigers v Saints
Well we see, personally I believe that Lewis is ahead in the backrow pecking order but in the absense of Kalamafoni Geordan may want some power and bulk.Dangerous4 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 6:50 pm
Not Freddie T. There is no way, quite frankly, that he should be in the squad, as he's no way near ready for it yet.

Re: Tigers v Saints
I know it's a derby but I don't think there's any excuse not to win this one and win it well with Saints playing 5 days earlier. Even though it's only 3 points our situation is more precarious than theirs league wise and I'm hopeful they will play a strong team in the PRC final and target the solitary win they need to guarantee safety elsewhere. (Not saying they will throw the game obviously)

1. I was under the impression teams couldn't play on a Sunday and then a Friday the week after.
2. If Saints stick to the ethos of the competition, their team on Sunday will be different to Friday. This is probably why they have allowed a team to play on Sunday and then the following Friday.
Re: Tigers v Saints
1. I'm not sure but England play twice in 5 days in the RWC and Japan did in the last so there can't be WR ruling on it.
2. I get that but the final is at Franklins Gardens,there will be some juggling but I'm sure Boyd will want a trophy early in his tenure. And apart from ourselves and Wasps who has given a fudge about the spirit of the competition?!

Re: Tigers v Saints
I think both their sides will be a mix and match of youth and experience.
Don’t be surprised to see some players playing a part in both games though

Re: Tigers v Saints
A convincing Tigers' win would be an ideal springboard to end the season with a flourish and maybe get that 6th spot.

Re: Tigers v Saints
I'm just interested in guaranteeing safety Robespierre,I'd take 11th if you offered it me!

Re: Tigers v Saints
I genuinely believe that a good win against Saints could give Tigers the boost that is desperately needed and secure 11th place! However, with a bp win - and why not against our nearest and dearest rivals, 6th would be achievable, don’t you think ?
