Tigers vs Sale (A) - Prem Rugby Cup - Friday 15th September 2023 KO 7-45pm

[Offside]

The guy who's standing in at Radio Leicester is... not great.

His pronunciation of s few names was very odd. It was less of a commentary and more of an occasional summary.

Sounder very rusty. Handre and going behind seemed to galvanise but only just enough.

Wilkinson on co-comms was probably the best bit of the evening. A few insights into the Tigers camp.

That’s so true Darc Tiger ! TV or go to every game from now on … not sure if the commentator had really done his research so it was hard to fathom much from this evening

[TigerFeetSteve]

I know Chris Egerton has left his role, was the commentating his replacement?

[TigerFeetSteve]

Converted. 18 -14 to Tigers. Late hit by Josh Bassett led to yellow card.

Was it definitely Bassett with the yellow card?

Radio Leicester said it was... (but their reporting may not have been the greatest)

However, Sale Sharks Twitter feed said it was Pollard, which was backed up by Mercury correspondent John Wiffen

BBC says Pollard Yellow 77'

Radio Leicester used a commentator that did the Worcester Warriors games for local radio for the Caldy game. He was quite good. Tonights chap has done BBC radio Stoke and Guernsey from his LinkedIn. I presume they are trying s few out before the premiership starts.

When I posted Josh Bassett yellow I was going off Radio Leicester commentary. Unless, of course, the commentary was inaccurate.

Yellow card was for Pollard in the Leicester Tigers match report.

Any win at Sale will be hard fought. Makes topping the group with 5 out of 5 wins a real possibility now and moving on to the semi finals

[Rugbygramps]

Listening to some of the post match interviews certainly seems that Mckellar is looking to build that extra attacking layer on top of the strong set piece and defence

[Tigris]

You wouldn’t say many of that team would get in Sales strongest side, there seems to be an absence of any South Africans

Will be interesting to see Ernst van Rhyn, former junior Springbok captain

Ah your knowledge has definitely trumped mine. Other than this young man there seems to be none of the usual South African names

Sorry, have realised that potentially came across a bit snarky! Not intended - assuming they were holding the Du Preez family back for the Prem

No it didn’t at all would seem like a good signing for them.
Just seen Bassetts try took some finishing, convinced he will be a really strong signing for us
