I'd take the props on the bench over the ones starting as well.

Upon looking at it again looks like he's sent the lambs out for the slaughter then hoping his better players can somehow clean the mess up :smt005

When you’ve got Jim Mallinder as the coach, then that tells you everything!

If he’s being lined up to replace Eddie Jones then god help us!

Ross Harrison? Offers nothing to the table and is highly rated because he's only the only semi decent loosehead at Sale so has a "high-workrate", Smith and Mitchell have no chemistry and Marler will have a lot of fun with Painter.

Actually it's an odd decision to start Mitchell who has never played with Smith ahead of White who played alongside Smith for the JWC last summer.

According to this... www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/rugby/ ... er-2923072
White, among others, is carrying some sort of injury and is due an operation to 'clean his shoulder'. Just hope he doesn't damage it anymore.

Dean Ryan mentioned in an interview with The Times after he left the RFU that Mallinder is the only coach left on their development pathway due to lack of funding. Sounds about right for the modern RFU.

Mallinder probably hates all things Leicester,wasn't he in charge of the U18 where we were underrepresented?
