Tigers vs Newcastle (H) - Prem Rugby Cup - Saturday 30th September 2023 KO 3pm

[Rugbygramps]

No thread yet on the game so started one.

Noticed Mike Brown was at the Premiership launch at Twickenham so wonder if he is not available for Saturday

[RunTigerRun]

Not sure if Brown currently makes it in the first choice XV available - could also be a ‘rest/off day’ in the camp.

I’d like to see something like:

Shillcock
Bassett
Cokanasiga
Kelly
Hassell-Collins
Atkinson
Whiteley
Rogerson
Ilione
Liebenberg
Wells
Henderson
Heyes
Dolly
Cronin

Clare
Whitcombe
Hurd
Hatherell
Cracknell
Powell
Wilkinson
Porter

Assuming Wells, Cronin and Cracknell are fit to play.

On Cracknell there's a lot of noise that this weekend is planned for his return from injury.

[Rugbygramps]

Don’t think I’d have Hatherall and Cracknell on the bench replace one with Chessum maybe.
Would also go Powell starting 9

[ay2oh]

Powell is definitely our best scrum half with JVP and Youngs missing.

Is this on PRTV ?

Is this on PRTV ?

Only a day afterwards...

TNT sport chose Quins v Sarries for live coverage, a mid table clash where neither can progress without some weird results

[TigerFeetSteve]

That is very close to of not full strength

[fentiger]

That's a fantastic matchday squad to be able to field with all the current absentees!

[Darc Tiger]

Strong looking Falcons team. Should be a tough match.

[Rugbygramps]

Really need a tbp win to keep pace with Gloucester and get a home semi.

Very early on I know but has an announcement been made on what is happening with Jerseys results and unplayed games

[trendylfj]

New ref to me - does anyone know anything about him- George Selwood???
