Tigers vs Cardiff - 12th January 2020

Not looking promising for watching the game on TV/online.... no mention of the Sunday games yet but most of Saturday's matches will be available online.

I get the feeling that it's Tigers stopping the games being shown on the website.
3 home games not one covered despite having the biggest following in terms of social media.
Doesn't make sense unless the club is not wanting it.

Why to get more people to go to games.

Granted this might be me going Pepe Silvia.

Not on the BT listings...but I am prone to senility.

That’s strange as my Sky Planner and BT Sport TV guide both say it’s ‘Big Bash Reload’ on at 15:15 on Sunday. No mention of the Tigers game. Hope you are right but can’t see it listed anywhere sadly

You’re probably right RagingBull, I would imagine after last week’s performance and the chance of a good showing against a mediocre Cardiff side should bring just under 20k to the ground.

Your probably right I’ve just looked on my app on the phone and it lists it in the upcoming live event but then lists the big bash on the actual guide.

When I view the programme guide on sport.bt.com and navigate to the Live on BT Sport tab it shows Tigers v Cardiff on BT Sport 3 @ 1500.

Bit of a mixed bag

[happywomble]

Strong bench and pretty mobile backrow. Weather looks good so may make for a fast game. Nice to see how Batley and Hughes get on as they could be quite useful over the Six Nations period.

[Mark62]

Be interesting to see Batley and Hughes.
I would take that as some of indication that both Lenny and George will be away with England.

More than good enough to take the 5 points

[voice of the crumbie]

What's happened to Jake Kerr? Seemed to be developing nicely last season but hardly seen in matchday squads so far this season? I thought they might rest Tom Youngs and start with TPN with Jake on the bench.

[teds]

Good selection development wise, although I suspect Cardiff will see only 3 first choice players starting and fancy their own chances

[Brianf]

I agree, would have been nice to see Kerr.

Also, whats the fitness update on Liebenberg? I see Holmes is approaching return, which is very welcome, but would be good to have Liebenberg back for us as soon as possible!
