    Fantastically run club, done an amazing job in last 10 years. I've been a Leicester Tigers fan since age of 7 and to me they've followed a model of play and recruitment which the Tigers should have implemented. Instead the Tigers stuck to the stick it up your jumper rugby and didn't evolve.
    Cracking club and a truly amazing team to watch.

    As a League fan I'm obviously not always appreciative of Union, but I agree they are a well run club doing it the right way. Who needs the Saracen type clubs!

    Well done Exeter and obviously the Rhinos!!

    Can't agree with the Leeds bit lol! I'm a Rovers and Saints fan. Saints because of family connections and Rovers because its the place my dad regularly took me to. Until recently we'd take in at least 5 Saints games a year and 5 at Welford Road watching Tigers. Always funny at Saints games they ask why Barnsley folk are there, then we explain about my Great Grandad being from Saints. They're really surprised it's been handed down the generations.
    The Tigers support on my part was because of something as stupid as they wore letters on their shirts and it went for there. My dad just went with it and we've had some cracking days watching em.

    Dad from Fev. Wish they could make it up to the higher division.

    Do think that the rule changes (and the pitches) have improved both codes tremendously.

    Great RU European final today.

    Watching England play top test matches at RU is the pinnacle of team sport for me.

    I was praying they'd win in Canada but money talks.
    I love watching international union but I've paying Twickenham prices. I joined the Scottish union and regularly go up to Murrayfield. Cheaper tickets better atmosphere and a better weekend away. It's a fraction of the price, I park at the airport and get bus into the centre of Edinburgh. Prices though unfortunately for hotels are now matching London. Better beer and obviously whiskey which is needed in February.
