Premiership Cup 2023/24

[Which Tyler]

I don't see Roux or McNally in either team, so my guess is to see what he's like there currently in a pre-season match, in case he needs to cover during the season itself.

Tigers preparing in a very different way for the Prem starting. Have rotated through the first team a fair bit to date they are sending mostly youth guys and squad players down to Bedford for the final PRC game and giving most of the senior guys a week to prepare for Bristol. Woollett, Richardson, Carter and Clift are the only players aged 25 or over.

Ba5tards!! We have already lost 6 to injury in this campaign. We just can’t compete with full time pro teams, so feels a bit of overkill from Brizz.great experience for our boys, but it’ll be 80 points I’d think.

Just tell the lads to kick it deep. Plenty of opportunities for turnover ball.

To be honest I was hoping PL would stick with the Academy/United type of sides to bring through the young players as well. Can understand it, but not really in the spirit of the comp I feel.

I'm not even happy with Prem clubs playing 1st XVs against other Prem clubs - though I can understand as this cup is doubling up as pre-season, and those players need some game time.
But playing the 1st XV against semi-pro.s is just... not cricket.

98-14.…… not sure what anyone gets from that.

Brutal evening for Champ clubs.

Cricket score, I was there. Nice welcome but on the pitch a massive piss take tbh.

Brizz welcome nice. I feel it was a mistake on the park.

Sounds like a game of two halves. The Tiger cubs were up at the break but Bedford stormed away in the second half.

Well that would explain it. The aura of the man was bound to inspire his former teammates.

Some bad news for Tigers, rumours that young Fin Carnduff has broken his hand. Has generally been playing well in the PRC.

Not too long out for a broken hand, especially at his age. If I could be back playing in 6 weeks, he definitely can.

Takes him past the end of the world cup though when as a lock/6 he was more likely to get game time.
