Tigers with no players in the U20 squad, can't remember the last time that happened Also Saints and Wasps with just one player each, although in Wasps' case it'd be unfair not to also count all of the Sale players they'll eventually be nabbing TBF to Tigers, Odogwu and Umaga we both U18s there. The...

I'd be interested to know what exactly he leaked

Leicester Mafia

Slightly surprised by the namecheck for George Merrick. He's a decent young player and I'm happy to have him at Quins, but he'd be a long way back in the queue for a spot in the second row. Saxons maybe. EPS no. To be fair, same goes for Dunn and Ellis at the moment. Good players, but a some way be...

Leicester Mafia

I'm apprehensive about Hartley starting because he's shit

Leicester Mafia

Rumblings in the League rumour mill that Shaun Johnson is on his way to the Premiership. Could well be angling for more money in his contract negotiations and I'm not entirely sure what position you'd play him in union but he is a hell of a player. Intriguing rumour. Can't imagine why a superstar N...

Predictions on the first of this crop of u20s to get a senior cap? One of the Curry's maybe?

Who is actually the coach now that Haag has left? I can't seem to find any announcement of a replacement

Until the next time. And there will be one.
Not so confident. He seems normal these days - he's not a Hartley/Marler/Sinckler type. It's been almost 5 years.

He was banned as recently as 2 months ago for elbowing Donncha O'Callaghan.

Leicester Mafia

It still annoys me that he managed to get a cap. fudge you Lancaster!

Leicester Mafia

Two weeks out- are we all agreed this is the likely lineup? Mullan, Hartley, Cole, Launch, Kruis, Itoje, Wood, Hughes, Youngs, Ford, May, Farrell, Joseph, Nowell, Brown. That front row makes me want to cry. I broadly agree with that being the most likely side, only question marks would be Haskell c...

Leicester Mafia

fudge me how in god's name are we so shit. Like what the fudge are they doing in training all week? Sitting around tugging each other off? How on earth is a 'top' professional side so unorganised, weak and lacking in any basic skills or leadership? Fuuuuuuuuuck

Leicester Mafia

also it's time to switch into defensive mode, because T-shirts celebrating an England Grand Slam have already gone on sale :uhoh: http://i1.walesonline.co.uk/incoming/article12441508.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/engalndtJPG.jpg http://i4.walesonline.co.uk/incoming/article12441540.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/Captu...

Betham, Kitchener, Barrow and Evans all sign new deals at Leicester: Australia international winger Peter Betham is one of a quartet of Leicester Tigers players who have signed new contracts with the club. Betham, 28, and forwards Graham Kitchener, 27, Dom Barrow, 23, and Will Evans, 19, have also a...

What criteria does Woodward qualify under? It obviously affects how much outrage his selection merits.

Qualifies by parentage I believe

I'll be using that line during the game

Leicester Mafia

I foresee us getting a real pumping, at least future England legend Will Evans is starting. I'm wholly unconvinced about O'Connor at 8 to be honest and I'm doubtful they'll have had the time to make any real changes to our structure

Leicester Mafia

Development channels seem to be working at the moment, but I do always wonder how many kids miss out by being at the wrong schools or having poor coaching. There must be hundreds of schools around the country who don't even play rugby at all and thousands of talented athletes who never come into con...

Give him credit, he managed to be grossly overweight and shit at rugby at the same time

Leicester Mafia

Both of the Burns boys are miles better than Ryan fcuking Lamb. Freddie is the better of the two at the moment, Billy in no way deserves an England call up yet

Leicester Mafia

Te'o is playing better than Manu atm I agree- though it is only Manu's third game back- and Te'o, whilst good, was not ripping it up (and was arguably outplayed himself by Hurrell). Joseph, Daly, Te'o, Slade, Tuilagi, Devoto.. they can't all make the eps. I thought T'eo wasn't that great yesterday ...

Get the feeling Clark would do very well at Sarries the dirty bugger, still think England selection is now beyond him.

They want too much money and the RFU told them to fudge off.

I'd expect us to be a lot better but I don't think I'd back us to win. Should be a bit closer at Welford Road. We might even score something this time. What boozer do you recommend between the station and the ground? There aren't any really except for a pub called the parcel yard next to the statio...

Burns the elder has largely been playing pretty well, I would've thought he could do a good job if Ford and Farrell are away
