[TigerFeetSteve]

Both us and Sarries got our first win sorted

Don't see much change from last week, hopefully Kata back fit.

We know Internationals who played this weekend are having the week off.

Williams has left the club as he said he was here till October.

I’m not sure why Wiese can’t play. He’s hardly played the WC and only played about 5 minutes last night .. He must have had the biggest rest from playing since he’s been at Tigers. I know there will be big celebrations but give him Monday off and getting back to work .. I would have thought he would be itching to get back on the field.
The rest of them probably need a break although Youngs hasn’t played a lot either

[mightymouse]

Also IIione can’t start and bench

[RagingBull]

On the squad wouldn't change it from the team yesterday. Let Rogerson take the legs out of Sarries runners in defence and bring Ilione on earlier to add some pace.
Kata for Cokanasiga on the bench though if fit.

Wiese will prob be in SA celebrating with Family for the week.

Not sure why he lives in Leicester presently

I’ve only seen some very wet highlights. How did Ilione get on at 8. He played quite a bit there for the u20s and might be a decent shout on a fast track

Don't think the rest of his family and his partners family moved as well though

You may be right. Pollards wife sometimes appears on Instagram with photos of the tigers South African wives, in Leicestershire, and I thought Mrs Wiese was included but could be wrong

No this was last season, photos of the partners of Wiese, Pollard, Liebenberg and Van Wyk all together.
Anyway we shall have to wait and see

Exact same as my 23. Want to see a bit more from the backs but pack has fronted up well so far! Really hope we can get something from this match - 2/4 wouldn’t be a bad start all things considered.

[Robespierre]

From what I’ve see so far this season, I shudder each time either Whitely and Powell get their hands on the ball. Neither of them will be close to pushing Youngs and JvP when they’re available.

[Ian Cant]

I think I heard McKellar say none of this week’s World Cup Players would be back for a week or so and the England lads not until “derby day” v Saints.
Ben Youngs might want to return sooner as he’s hardly played. Pollard too has only played 3 half games( 1 for us) and the full game yesterday!
Cracknelland Hatherall, both likely to be out. Shame.

yeah I really don't see why those 2 can't at least be on the bench this weekend, especially Handre who went through preseason so knows all the calls etc.
