I’m still trying to work out who, if anybody, from either team, was onside at that maul. Great result though. Well done. Is it all down to Borthwick?

The game ends when the ref blows the whistle, not at half time, Tigers never gave up, they fought their way over the try line, Saracens were deemed to have illegally collapsed the maul, so the result was inevitable, even Saracens know they if they break the laws of the game there are consequences. Mmmmm. The NZ - Lions match springs to mind. 18-17 to NZ but Lions scored 5 tries to 6 pens. You can see why try scores have increased in value compared eith penalties!

tigerburnie Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 Another fine win for the Tigers against a tough London Irish side, been a while since we have strung together a couple of away wins. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerburnie Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 Huge performance by Leicester at Worcester today to remain unbeaten and top of the league, seven tries to nil is the most pleasing part, big game next week when Sale come to Welford Road, a clash of the heavy weight packs, with some real talent and pace behind to go with it. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BoD Posted October 16, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) Travelling back from Falcons v Bristol. What a yawn fest. I think I would be being generous if I even said it was because the teams cancelled each other out. At least the result was the right one.

RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted October 23, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 23, 2021 Japan played Australia this afternoon but I couldn't watch it, which was very frustrating. The new broadcast deal for Australian rugby signed last November announced, inter alia, that: "Nine will broadcast every Wallabies Test from 2021 onwards and one Super Rugby AU match each weekend on its free-to-air network". Apparently this is now not the case. The Japan game was only broadcast on Nine's subscription streaming service Stan. I have sent some strong feedback to the Nine Network about this. Unless they change their mind and revert to what the original announcement said, then I won't get to see the forthcoming Scotland, England or Wales games either. Not happy. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerburnie Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 Another huge win for Leicester Tigers, next week is the Midlands "Derby" game against Northampton, who also had a good win last night, that'll be another big battle. Leicester Lions also beat Worthing who were top of the league, so a good day for my teams. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a general decision not to take subscriptions to watch specific sports. Once you start down that road you will constantly be increasing your subscription as Sky play find-the-lady with whatever you originally wanted. I have enough sons and other interests that I can always keep myself amused. Edited October 23, 2021 by rockershovel 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was such a travesty of a result from the play that they started to consider changes to the scoring system: this resulted in a four point try before we got to the five pointer.

Well it was amateur days, the IRFU, or whatever it was called then, must have had a lot of trouble getting their yachts together! In Wales, we wanted the 4 point try as soon as we started scoring them! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted October 30, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 30, 2021 What a great result especially considering they had 2 in the bin at the same time. I thought George Ford played a blinder and well deserved the Man of the Match award. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerburnie Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 Barf this Friday, but we will be missing some more players for the cash cow Autumn Internationals, still think we can win at home, but we will need to concentrate, it's got "banana skin" written all over it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
