Yes, but are they turning as fast as he does?!

To be serious, though, not sure they’re turning against him - just that some feel that what he offers is best used sparingly and is not the solution to every challenge

All please be aware just like any major stadium, theatre or concert event bags bigger than A4 will not be permitted and you will have to drop it at a bag drop in the North carpark

if this happens and there is a big queue you could miss kick off

If you need a medical exemption contact Twickenham SOONEST

I don't want to be turning Tiger fans away on Saturday


Stadium entry

Check your ticket to locate the correct gates and turnstiles before trying to gain entry.

Twickenham Stadium asks that supporters to avoid bringing bags wherever possible. If you do need to bring a bag, this should be no bigger than A4. Bringing a bigger bag may result in you being denied entry without refund or compensation.

The problem is that's how we have tended to use him...never really got the man running inside for the offload...Unfortunately Taufua was just the team mate to play off him...going further back Croft would have been picking up even more trys.

That said if he is going to play he has to start.

Worse case let's hope we are beaten not lose the game.

Have no idea why!
He became a marmite player when rumours of him leaving surfaced, before then he was a destructive player who could occasionally be skinned on the outside yet was still a fan favourite.

It also coincided with a spell out the team, rumour was ut was Borthwick's naughty step, but given he has since been used sparingly since I suspect he's been carrying a knock (which is likely why he may not seem 100% fit). While most players playing at this time of year may have a knock, the type of player he is means it affects his performance more.

Plus timing wise we also had Ashton come in and perform for us really well.

Basically, he doesn't deserve our dislike as he's been great for us and a true cornerstone of why we have been able to turn around under Borthwick, and we can't begrudge him heading back "home" down under, but I think subconsciously some pick fault more in those leaving
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

More scared because I think Sarries are better opposition than Saints, less scared because if Tigers don't win, at least they don't don't win to Saints!
I'm probably in a small minority here but would much rather lose to Saints, I despise Sarries that much. I know that's odd!

Right……Got my ticket to display the bar code on my iPhone so nearly there for my 1st Twickenham match. Couple of questions from an old dinosaur. Am I right in thinking entry to the stadium is by bar code via the app only,?I’d rather have a piece of paper in my hand !! For anyone without an iPhone or whose phone dies on the day (god forbid) how do you gain entry to the stadium?
Best of luck to all those travelling, have a safe journey, here’s hoping for a great day and the right result.

That's about the size of it!

Sam's done a nice thread on how to get at Sarries.

I don’t think people are turning against him, more being honest about his recent form and apparent fitness.
This thread is about the best team to take on Sarries. On his recent showings I think we have better options, so do others, some posters disagree and would have him starting, some on the bench, I guess we will find out in just over 17 hours time.

For me one thing obvious is that for a number of reasons, he has not been being as effective as he was earlier in the season

He's a one in two try scorer this season in the league only averaging 58 minutes a game, 10/20 and he's started 16 of those games. That'll do me! Not to mention decoy lines,assists,tieing defenders in and offloading,keeping defenders keen so others are free in space,list goes on

The Sarries lads were a bit loose in some of their tackles last weekend, Nadolo might just be what is needed to properly test them.
