I shall be watching on the telly box on Sunday. Could I ask anyone who does attend to keep an eye on the pre game warm up as I would be interested to see if either Pollard or Kelly take part.

Porter, along with Willis amongst others totally released by England. not in the travelling reserves even.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 1:50 pmWith this being a Sunday game and the England being Saturday, he may well be a travelling reserve, but if there's no injuries he'll join us and play... if he's needed for England then I expect we'll make a late change too

Willis had to be released as he's signed with a French club so England couldn't keep him.Bunchy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 3:16 pmPorter, along with Willis amongst others totally released by England. not in the travelling reserves even.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 1:50 pmWith this being a Sunday game and the England being Saturday, he may well be a travelling reserve, but if there's no injuries he'll join us and play... if he's needed for England then I expect we'll make a late change too

Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

I’m hoping Cronin and Wells are merely being rested/rotated rather than injured?

Hope Martin at lock is a permanent fixture! I do believe that The Berg is a better blindside but Martin is just as good a player if that makes sense and you have to get both in the team,but not if it means Hanro at openside

Not true re Willis.

“ Willis will remain available for selection by England despite playing overseas as the demise of Wasps is deemed "exceptional circumstances".”

I think that you have misread that. I think that it is referring to the RFU 'rule' that to play for England, barring exceptional circumstances, you have to play for an English club, which has been put on hold for ex-Wasps and ex-Worcester players for the remainder of this season - exceptional circumstances.MCC1964 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 3:53 pmNot true re Willis.

Yes,this game is outside the window. Regardless of that rule Willis can't be picked anywayCagey Tiger wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 4:09 pmI think that you have misread that.

I hope Atkinson gets on a Fly Half early and is not used at Full Back, he is an exciting runner and it would be good against Irish to have him doing that.

I would like to see him start a premiership game for Tigers
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

Pollard has been a bit of a disastrous signing so far really hasn't he? Was a huge risk with his injury record and it has proved thus so far.

TBF we wouldn’t have seen him a lot earlier had he been fit as he would have been with the Boks. I think it’s Wiese first game tomorrow and they would have been in the same boat. Was probably a mistake playing him at Sarries but once back we will have him for the rest of the season.Postiger2 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 26, 2022 12:35 pmPollard has been a bit of a disastrous signing so far really hasn't he?

Don't see how Burns still gets a start. He's been poor all season.CrumblingTerrace wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 2:30 pm Hmm... I think there are a few players (Burns, Potter, Ashton) quite lucky to have kept their places, despite indifferent form.

Do wonder if he will be here next season. He put out an Instagram post recently asking if there were any decent short term car lease companies aroundtigerssteve wrote: ↑Sat Nov 26, 2022 3:07 pmDon't see how Burns still gets a start.
