On that note... Won't Hartley start at Hooker or is he injured too? Assuming Leicester make the final ofc
I think Leicester are relatively unlikely to make the final, I think it'll be Saracens-Northampton. England would benefit from that no doubt with Hartley, Wood and Lawes to come in, and Burrell as a fine replacement for Tuilagi. On LCD: If we take 3 hookers in the squad, and Youngs, Hartley and Webber are all unavailable, he's certainly a bolter. But it would be brave to take him over Yeandle, not to mention half a dozen others.
Yeah. Apparently according to this article in the independent Lancaster held talks with Exeter's director of rugby... so there could be every chance one of LCD or Yeandle go.
LCD will be going for experience. If I was picking a side to win a single game I'd pick Yeandle, but LCD's the future.
Yeandle is still young though. Do you think LCD will surpass him soon? Obviously I have my biases towards LCD but I haven't seen much of Yeandle at all to know what I'm talking about wrt a comparison
I don't think it's gambhiring at all to say that Northampton should be favourites in a home semi final.
It's a good point. I suppose I see Yeandle as a good club player and LCD as the one with the potential to be something more. Time may prove me wrong.
Well, possibly. CBF to check. But, given yer Tiges won at Franklins Gardens just over a month back, I'd say Leicester being "relatively unlikely" to be in the final is a wee bit of a stretch.
Flood playing at 12 for the first and likely only time for Leicester on Saturday in order to spite Brumby

I thought you were only allowed to tackle the man with the ball in rugby Edit: TMO seems to have awarded a pen for what I whinged about, comms not happy
3 crazy penalties to give away back to back. 2 for Bath 1 for Quinns. Madness. Ford guaranteed golden boot now apparently
