Rugby Union RWC and Season 2011-12
Posted by: JWM on 13 July 2011
We have got some months of RWC warm-up matches and the RWC itself, before we descend into the usual Wasps vs Tigers obsession
But to get us started, here's the fixture list for 2011-12 http://www.leicestertigers.com/rugby/fixtures.php
England scored a try..........?!!!
It was England's first opportunity of the game.
.......the replacement scrum half made all the difference and supplied much quicker ball than Youngs had done all game.
Aha! Found the offending word!!! It is the name of the replacement scrum half for England!!!
Scotland deserved to win that. They really disrupted England's play and slowed it down, but England contributed to their own problems. There are changes needed:
Flood for Wilkinson
Corbisiero for Stevens
Cueto for Armitage
RW for Youngs
Palmer for Deacon
Finally! England's first clear opportunity and Ashton scores a try. Wigglesworth made that and has made a clear difference over Youngs already with much quicker ball.
I read that ,and thought Scotland had won!
All the difference was made by Wigglesworth......

It's the bizarre sequence of my posts, Howard. For some reason the name W******worth appears to put posts into moderation! I was wondering what had been happening to my posts as 4 of them just didn't appear, so I kept trying and ended up posting in segments to see what was going on, and forgot to mention that, actually, England won!! Subsequently a couple of my moderated posts have appeared out of sequence!

Sorry about that Chillkram, for some reason Mr W sets off the obscene word filter. Very weird...

The Mrs (of Glasgow) was very excited for about 60 minutes. Been a long time.
Bath
Aaaaawww do I have to? It's not Sunday...
Oh, I see
S******
Anyway I'll see your Bath and raise you a Tonga
(that said S-n-i-g-g-e-r, by the way...)
"Anyway I'll see your Bath"
I know we've been together a bit recently but I don't think I'm ready to move on to that stage yet!
I'm a shower man myself.
I bet that nice Mr Cockerill is really mad now , let's face it Bath are not very good side at the moment, but even they could turn the Tigers over
So Carter's out of the tournament. Bit of a blow for the ABs.
Sigh
Mind, at least I don't support QPR too...

S*d off!
Anybody that thinks at this point in time that teams that turn up at Welford road and beat us are turning the Tigers over or at their own grounds are very silly indeed,Like i said we will take it on the chin till the boys get back and then it will be business as usual.......Till the six nations that is
