Tigers v Saints - 3rd November

First topic message reminder :

Normally the last thing this fixture, to be played out again in front of a capacity crowd, does not need the extra fireworks we will see provided after the match Last season's encounter was a humdinger. A mass punch-up, 2 red cards, a 6 week suspension for Chris Ashton and 7 tries.

However injuries and AI training camps could see two much wealened sides:

Potential Tigers Absentees

England Duty
Youngs (T), Cole, Parling, Waldrom, Youngs (B), Flood, Allen, Manu

Injuries
Mulipola, Hawkins, Croft, Crane, Salvi, Deacon (B), Thorpe, Young, Bowden, Benjamin.


Potential Saints Absentees

England/Injured/Suspended
Hartley, Lawes, Manoa, Clark, Dowson, Wood, Dickson, Foden, Wilson.



Should still be an epic encounter - but already it is feeling more like an LV match, than a sold out AP encounter.

when the opposition have their hands all over the ball, most scrum halves do it. As I said I felt that Youngs moved the ball quickly - I guess on TV it did not look like it.
