[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Haley should've been on the tour in the first place IMO.

Yess McGuigan is in.

He has been great for Tigers recently.

Swap Haley with Brown and i would be really happy with that.

(I mean rather have Barrow in at lock to but can't win them all).

 

[Big_Grumper]

Is the game against the Baa-Baas on Sky or BT Sport?

 

[Geordie]

That could be a very interesting back row combo.
Isiekwe also gets a run out...hes the next in line from Itoje. Though it'll be interesting to see if Barrow does get much attention next season If he continues his impressive form and physicality.

Im also interested to see how that Midfield goes.

Is Isiekwe actually any good? He looks James Gaskell levels of skinniness in the photos I've seen. Heard lots of hype but he's not playing much is he?


Delighted for all the Sale lads, hopefully Josh plays a blinder (he ended the season well) and Haley gets a decent amount of game time.
Shame we didn't get a double serving of Curry

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

It says a lot about our choices at 12. Would like to see Farrell at 10 again and someone else at 12 in the future.

Don't know some are calling him the next Itoje. But that is prob just lazy Journo work.

Young players always get hyped up, alot tend to get to much hype IMO.

Shows the impact Itoje has had that we talk about the "next" Itoje already.

What's the difference between the two Currys?

TBH there is always the next someone with some Sports writers.

Seems to be an air of desperation to be the first one to say this guy will be great.

(If that makes sense)

One's called Ben and the other Tom

Channelling my inner-Deano here, but I'm starting to think Dimes missed a trick here. He should have watched The Prestige, and claimed there was only one Curry; and just have them switch shirts at H-T. No-one would have known and you'd have had a fresh Curry only playing 40 minutes of each match as a free substitution!
Granted, you'd never get them both on the pitch at the same time; just 80 minutes of fresh Curry every week.

 

[Geordie]

I think the Isiekwe thing, is more from the fact that Saracens think so much of him. And they generally seem a good judge of their youngsters.

Havent seen much of him, but he's played a few Saracens games recently and apparently played well.

Our back row looks nicely balanced...but they're up against some genuine top quality! Be great to see how they go!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Couple of replacements already!
Tom Curry in for Ben, Will Spencer in for Ellis

 

[Which Tyler]

Eddie dose seem to like injuring players in training!
