16.TCD 17.Whitcombe 18.Hurd 19.Snyman 20.Jansen 21.Edwards 22.Gopperth 23.Nadolo
Cronin I think will prove to be a very very good signing for us. A bit like Cole his availability all season will be invaluable. The Wells/Green combo is tried and tested and will offer great options in the second row with Snyman and Cam adding great cover/rotation. And a back row of Martin, Cracknell Hanro is crazy strength in depth! That pack is fantastic imho.. very strong given we would be missing Montoya, Heyes, Chessum, Reffell, Wiese!

The backs is as strong as we have had for some time. What a strong and experienced pairing at 9 & 10. Potter, Kelly, Scott, Ash is a familiar lineup that played together for much of this season so they will be well settled.

15 I am more than confident that Kini can do the job and its obvious why he was kept on as such a versatile player but I agree Woodward or Miller would be a great acquisition.

I haven’t seen anything from Miller that says he’s any good at Premiership level. A bit surprised people want him here.

I’d rather have Brown, to keep the game plan consistent when Steward is away.

Previously a slower, shorter, less good looking version of Tom Croft.

Woodward yes but Miller not for me. Unless he’s cheap ,solid I suppose but nothing special

The answer appears to be round 3, as the Rugby Championship ends on the 24th September (date of round 2) & any England rest that may or may not apply would be over by then too.

I imagine Jasper and Montoya will need a decent rest then it will be the Autumn Internationals.
Steward, Porter,JVP, Reffell, Chessum, Heyes will also need a long break just in time to play for England!
This will be one hell of a test for Tigers especially when playing the teams with few current internationals. I also believe it’s why there aren’t as many season tickets sold as I’ve heard some “fans” say they are no longer prepared to pay for them as too many star players are missing: shame.
Support the Tigers whatever the team but that’s not easy when money is tight.

Season tickets are very good value if you are able to attend most games. I pay £360 for 15 games which works out at £24 per game. For my seat to buy as a 1 off is £40-44 per game so if I am able to attend 9 games or more it is good value for money. As far as star players is concerned of course you would like to see your strongest team every week but personally I will attend every home game to support whoever plays. Obviously the kickoff times/days affects a lot of people and I think this is what determines peoples decision whether to buy a season ticket not who is playing.
