Forum Rugby Club - 2010-11 Season
Posted by: JWM on 08 July 2010
Kicking off the new season's thread with some sad news.
Leicester Tigers' Harry Ellis is to retire at 28 because of persistent left knee problems.
On the bright side, Leicester does of course have Ben Youngs (and perhaps Harry could remain involved in a mentoring role).
But it's always unfortunate when a player (wherever) has to retire (early) because of unresolvable injury problems.

Got the tickets through the post today for the clash of the year between the Tigers and the Aussies at Welford road YIPPEE i cannot wait
Still taking it all in. My first visit. (A salvaged part of my scheduled study leave that was scuppered by my second round of back probs in the Spring.) Amazing!
Arrived Monday evening. Tuesday to Thursday mornings visited:
Vatican and St Peter's, St Paul's Outside the Wall, St John Lateran, Catacombs of St Sebastian, Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel (instead of Papal Audience!), St Clement's, Forums (for which I have a partiality
) Trajan's Column, Capitoline and some shopping for a few new work duds.
Castel Sant'Angelo, Colosseum, St Mary Major, Circus Maximus from the outside only (sadly) on this occasion. And sadly didn't get to see the Pantheon and city centre churches I'd love to see. But there's a limit to what one can do in effectively 2 days, even starting at 7am!
Thursday afternoon to Saturday morning:
Assisi and associated Franciscan sites in Umbria.
Stayed at the Hotel Conciliazione on the Via Borgo Pio in Rome, so about 200m from St Peter's Square. And the REALLY WONDERFUL Hotel San Giacomo in Assisi - family run and superb and attentive service, which belies it's apparently lowly 2**.

On holiday and short of places with wifi,will retaliate soon when I can think how 
Right, as it now shows we were lulling you into a false sense of security and normal service has now resumed with Leeds sent packing with their tails between their legs after a right good kicking. GAME ON
TIGERS TIGERS
TIGERS TIGERS
Nice to see the Saints bought back to earth with a bang
A weak Tigers side beaten [just] by the saffies 26-20 with some iffy penalties given by the ref, oh well shit happens
