Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05

[Rugbygramps]

He's also been down to Pennyhill to do a session with the Red Roses this week

Hadn’t seen that. I’m sure I’ve seen pictures of him in training though

[Leicestertinytiger]

Going to say before the teams are out - if we’re near enough full strength, think we can put one on Saints at the Gardens at the weekend. Long may the fire drills continue.

Apparently some interesting selection news out of Northampton at 12….

Now you're being a tease, Elliott...

Initially read it thought ahh maybe they have picked up an injury at Inside Centre, then realised you meant the time... so it's all 23 the surprise could be...

Surely they can't be resting stars for the derby game...

I also read that as an issue at inside centre

Hutchinson to step into the 12 slot ?

[westwinds31]

No Martin or Hanro !

The start for Carnduff was a surprise.

Hanro & Rogerson out injured, they've gone with him over Hatherall, who is covering lock

[TigerFeetSteve]

So Saints have slightly rotated their side...

Nice of Tigers to give an injury update list.

Cokanasiga on the bench over Scott is probably the main surprise based on the availability issues

[MrG2]

I am feeling confident looking at the teams

[Leicestertinytiger]

I would’ve agreed had Martin been in there.

[AViewFromLe2]

I think most of us felt we needed at least two of Chessum, Martin and Tommy back. I’m glad we do have that, but losing Hanro is frustrating, however buzzing for young Finn. As a Market Harborough lad, I hope he tears into them.
