Astounded Henry and WW aren’t 1&2!!

I think it shows we are not alone in the tactic... who else is in the top 10?

Note the offload stat.

Says something about the present mindset.

Did you see the defenders beaten stat or did you choose to ignore that one?

Cheers you're a star, so Quins look like they're doing the most kicking..

Are we getting to bogged down with statistics, at the end of the day the only stats that count for anything are the scores for each team.

Referee: Anthony Woodthorpe (4th Premiership game). Assistant Referees: Mike Hudson & Paul Dix. TMO: Graham Hughes. Citing Officer: Chris Catling.

Not heard of Sir for this one.. looks like he's new to the Premiership with only 4 games officiated. Fingers crossed for consistency.

This will be a very tough game and the wind up merchants at Quins will be targeting players like Lavanini (if he plays) and trying to rile them up. Need to keep our discipline and build on the last rounds performance.

Care always saves his best performances for the games vs Tigers it would seem so I expect him to be fired up. Will be a great test for us and I'm quietly confident we can sneak this one.

Saw him ref a game at the weekend, can't remember which one! Thought he wasn't toooo bad

That's a definite step up from some of the referees so fingers crossed then!

Yeah just ignored & cherry picked to suit.....

Re. Opts stats and specifically the “kicks in play” stat. Speaking as someone who is frustrated with all our kicking (esp. in opposition 22) i think its interesting to compare Henry/WW total against others. Exeter (maunder/Simmons) Sale (de Klerk*/Mcginty) bath (Spencer/priestland) Quins (care/smith) all exceed tigers. Though admit bigger % of smith /Simmons kicks may not be up and under. Gloucester have lowest combined stat.
* annoying little so and so (though admit my hypocrisy here - see name)

Any news on the health of the pitch at the Stoop?

[Nofrontteeth]

Will I need sunglasses? Their home colours and our away colours - some bling

[tigercub21]

Anyone know why we are training at Leicester Forest rugby club?
