Guys,

I know I am not running the game anymore, but there is less than an hour left for predos, and one game only has 5 predos on it, which is a bit unfair as it effectively denies the opportunity of getting the TBP, so can we try to get them in please. (It's not my match that I am talking about by the way).

Pete , I'm going to rugby in the next 30 minutes - standing on a rugby pitch with the freezing sea wind blowing down on it

Could you do the scores please?

ALSO GET YOUR FALCONS AND WORCESTER GAME PREDICTIONS IN THOSE WHO HAVN'T

See this is one thing about being injured.....means I can stay in bed longer and stay warm!!

Yeah, no worries, am housebound today so scores no problem.

Results are done!

Scorers updated.

Good game Tigers/Irish. Irish really need to sort their set piece and discipline

Put the league game on - cracking start by England, have upped their game ten fold for this match...can't stand the Aussies!

Wow - amazing finish - watch SS1 now. Amazing, best finish I have seen. Incredible by England.

And we've injured Billy Slater, the best player in the history of rugby league!

BBC too mate. Outstanding.

dont htey have Eddie Butler on BBC though Luke? Cant believe he got that ball down before being forced into touch.

Such a hard sport, so many massive hits and only 15mins gone.

Damn, bent ref again. Oh well, at least first 15mins were good.

Not a fan of league tbh

Credit to Leicester, they deserve to be ahead, but feic me they get away with loads of illegal play that other teams get pinged for.

leagues a great game when top players are playing - but can be absolute dross. the tackling is fierce.

Another amazing try! Sam Tomkins is some player...

This ref makes Bryce Lawrence look good - Aussie just clotheslined an England player on the throat - straight red. Nope. England score a perfectly good try and the ref gives double movement. .

Oh good a fight...

Quins win again!

hell of a result for irish, some comeback. gibson, sinclair, bowden outstanding. castrogiovanni battered corbisiero, disappointing.

heard Flood was awful again Nick?

What do you mean awful again? He was quality against Sale.

Tbh, Flood was decent but kicked poorly.

Irish great from 60mins, good game

best player ever in RL??? I don't think its Billy Slater. The man I admire is Inglis. Perhaps the most impressive all rounder in rugby. A supreme athlete with an unreal skill set. I reckon if Oz didn;t love its league so much then Aus would be a far greater power than NZ.

That is some comeback.

Gibson absolutely outstanding. Happy with that.

Slight issue though with Losi going off injured and Topsy pulling up as well. If Delon gets banned at his hearing on Monday, we will be struggling for back three players a bit with JJ and Yarde also both out injured until after Christmas.

Could see a back three of 11. Thompstone 14. Watson 15. Homer next week.

Will watch the game later. Nice to see Gibson doing well.

Staunton cost Leicester game. No way Tigers should have lost that one. Lahiff looked very good when he came on again (better than Corbs tbh but different opposition/time etc)

flood had an absolute perfect platform and for me struggled to get tigers backline going.

bowden played behind a beaten pack off scraps and looked a lot more dangerous.

hopefully ojo/tagi injuries arent serious, thompstone played well though. dont want anthony watson starting in heineken cup must win game though. ansbro could be back.

just heard he was awful again Pooly from some friends who went to watch the game - he blows so hot and cold - why he'll never be a top international. Some games he looks awesome, others he just can't control the match regardless of how much ball he is given. Hopefully Farrell or Ford will keep coming through so we finally get a top class 10 for England.

Watson is talented, but way to soon for him.

Will be interesting to see who starts at loosehead next week. Corbs lead the tackle count in the first half, but struggled a bit in the scrum, albeit against one of the best tightheads in the world. Lahiff came on and carried really well and held his own in the scrum against England's first choice 3.

Really wish Corbs had made it as a tighthead and not a loose.

Flood wasn't great but Tigers midfield offered nothing, Murphy & Hamilton had bad days at the office too. Smith is no 12 and Agu no 13, they were really shown up by a solid defence.

To be 24-13 up with 25mins up still should have won but for a couple of howlers from Grindal and Staunton

Hape was brilliant in defence and scored a good try, happy for him (no pun intended)

Lahiff to start for me, you should have to earn your place in the team and lahiff has, corbs has to earn that shirt back. why homer should have started over delon last week. although i admit i wanted delon to start.
delon will be banned and its ridiculous, bit of a witch hunt against the bloke although a lot of the time he doesnt help himself.

Delon's a bit unlucky to be cited to be honest, but yes, Homer should have started at 15 over him last week.

Lahiff is a monster.

Guys in hospital with suspected broken spine and neck , won't be on much next few days

You better not be! We're going to Kingston!!!! Not got enough space in my boot for a wheel chair

broken spine and neck??? crikey if thats the case your doing well getting on your phone.

Hope its all just precautionary mate

Jesus driver hope your all right mate that sounds a nasty 1!

League table updated.

Driver, leave the nurses alone, you'll do yourself an injury!

Anybody reckon Croft and Gibson could work as England's flankers?

Gibson looks very good - reckon there's going to be so much competition on the flanks soon, just have to look at Wood and Clark at Saints, and then Launchbury at Wasps, though I expect he will move to the sceond row. It's just that we desperately need a better no 8 then Easter!

Launchbury will have to be a lock to be considered by England. Same with Gaskell.

Said for years Gibson is like Richard hill. Can see limitations of robshaw but Gibson just seems to have class

Heino R1 match thread is up...

Will get the Amlin up tomorrow.


Gibson just has that something about him that is hard to define. Goes about his business, isn't flashes, just gets the job done.

Steven, how's GAskell coming along at Sale? See he's starting second row tomorrow, how's he been playing?

Grindal and Staunton getting all the blame for Tigers collapse. Three charge downs between them...?

I thought Cockerill taking Deacon off was as big a part of it as them getting charged down.

Key charge downs, more so Staunton which gave away try.

Morning guys

Good news is there's no serious fracture but I'm getting shipped to James Cook later today for more scans.

Sad news is along with the nurses being grots they have no idea how long it will be before or even if I play again
