Tigers v Wasps

[wellstiger]

I have to say I cannot understand why we brought Eastmond to the club. Personally I have never rated him, and he hasn't exactly produced quality rugby for us. I know he has had injury problems, but he needs to up his game.

So Doyle in charge.
He does police offside rule. Doesn't police scrum and goes to sleep at varying times.
He gives advantage to attacking play and penalises defensive play. But is consistent.....(Usually against Tigers)

So should be an interesting game!!!!

And I am not anti Sirs

So that's Sopoaga, Jimmy Gopperth and Billy Searle out for Saturday which means Rob Miller at 10.

Wasps also without internationals Dan Robson, Nathan Hughes, Joe Launchbury, Brad Shields and Elliot Daly, plus Zhvania. Michele Campagnao out with a back injury but Will Stuart, Tom West and Thomas Young all available.

Just been browsing wasps forum, they don't seem very happy, most are saying another miserable afternoon coming up, tigers will beat us.

Can I have a cider instead?

Yes we will all be at Welford Road to cheer the lads on but do as much kicking as we have been doing and we will get a kicking.
Both teams have players missing but Thomas Young is a great player who provide an immense challenge for us.
I really hope we are going to be up for this and be disciplined, ferocious in the tackle and breakdown and Doyle remembers he has made some strange decisions which have gone against us in this season’s games : where’s Barnes when we need him?
Fear the worst for Denton: no sign of a return yet!

[BigDan50]

Here we go again, blaming the ref before we have played the game.
JPD is a very compitent ref who is very fair to both sides.

[strawclearer]

Chris Jones saying it looks like Robson to start against Italy and that’s why he has not been released back this weekend.

Quite a handy Wasps side despite their missing players? The Tigers will have to be better than last week to get a win from this game?
