Toulon v Tigers - Challenge Cup Semi

[Scuttle]

Given we are really building for next season in this restart period, maybe the coaches just want to see a bit more of the new players, and allow them game time to settle in. They have seen plenty of the others last season and first part of this season.

The fact Kelly is in at 23 suggests he has a knock.
Tigers don’t usually announce injuries when match day squads are named.

Glad Kelly is picked though for that 23 shirt.

Looking forward to his progress, nothing against the fella but I thought he was nonexistent during the Wasps game so looking for some impact from him.

[JP14]

I'm hoping Lewis and Hardwick are retained, Kerr maybe depends on how patient he is, how long OTY has before hanging up his boots and/or whether Montoya comes to the club or not.

[Cardiff Tig]

Hardwick got pulled off at the 30 mins at Gloucs, I don't think he's particularly rated by the coaches.

He's not featured since so I do wonder if he's got a niggling injury.

Ford was sent on in that game for leadership and in particular to sort out the defensive line and get us some line speed. We cert needed that.

[LE18]

Hardwick got pulled off at the 30 mins at Gloucs, I don't think he's particularly rated by the coaches.

If I remember correctly, didn't he ask for more money a couple of years ago because he thought he was very good and ended up in a bit of bother with the then coaches, maybe he has expressed his disappointment again which may have counted against him?

We are putting out a strong looking side - really hope for a performance to match.

50 mph winds.
Might be why we are going with Murimurivalu at 15.

The number 15 birth has taken me by surprise.

The number 15 birth has taken me by surprise.

Congratulations, you are a bit prolific, though surely you should know the signs by now?

Hopefully how prolific you are is not down to playing position otherwise I'll be in trouble as an ex-fullback. Ellis Genge has reached his quota this week though if true

[Robespierre]

Who missed that tackle?

[chewbacca]

Murimurivalu

[Leicestertinytiger]

Technically a penalty to us. Tackle was completed yet Parrisse carried on ripping the ball.

[chewbacca]

Murimurivalu. Im not worried as Im always concerned when we take an early lead.
