I think that is an all Welsh international pack so going to be a tough job up front.

Lived for a decade in Swansea near the St Helens ground and then up the hill in Sketty. Snowline starts above Sketty and the marshes (morfa) near the river (where Liberty is) are generally just soggy. Swansea is soggy all winter. Very soggy.Caerlyr Osprey wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 9:05 amYes the Liberty has undersoil heating. Swansea City have a game tomorrow against Norwich, so there shouldn't be an issues with the game going ahead. Temperature's down in Swansea are also a bit higher than they are up here in Leicestershire.Wayne Richardson Fan Club wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 8:57 amI would have thought so as it's a Football Ground, think you need under soil heating to be in the higher leagues?

If anyone's looking for a perfect example of Borthwick's pragmatism it is shown here in the team selection

You mean the same as he did for last seasons away European games for a competition that we have little or no chance of winning. Yeah you’re right it makes no sense at allCrumblingTerrace wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 1:41 pm Resting several key players for the European Cup...

I sincerely hope it’s not now an 8pm kick off per the team selection news. Anyone had an email yet regarding coach departure time from Crombie rd on Sunday?

A very youthful side, but full of skill and pace, this could be interesting, away games always tough, but there's enough in this side to cause an upset.

Good call. That would make a lot of sense.Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 12:41 pmHave a feeling Liebenberg may get the Clermont game off with Montoya coming in to skipper the side and Wiese and Reffell back.sam16111986 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 12:13 pmAtkinson did start in the PRC the other weekend Vs Sarries.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 12:06 pm First start for Atkinson, looking to see how he gets on!
Nice team selection, good balance of resting and playing various players
Shame Ilione isn't getting a game and Liebenburg isn't getting a break as I thought he looked a little tired last weekend (he does put himself about).
Otherwise happy with the side. Be good to have a look at Oghre. He hasn't confirmed where he'll be next season so you never know we might see more of him in a Tigers shirt yet.
Ospreys have gone as strong as they can for this one, as expected so could be a tough game.

Depends on the ref. Liberty is a graveyard of good reffing, and a haven of dubious rucking.tigerburnie wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 2:37 pm A very youthful side, but full of skill and pace, this could be interesting, away games always tough, but there's enough in this side to cause an upset.

The Liberty also the home of dubious counting by "Sir" in Tigers Ospreys games....that fine not anti Tiger Alan Lewis...
To win is not as important as playing with style!

An English team has been in the final 50% of the time since it's been the Champion's Cup.
