Tigers 76 Nottingham 26. Hattrick for second half substitute Jamie Blamire.

Bath 47 - 14 Glasgow

See Arundell got two on his debut, including one off a rolling maul, which is a bit different

Leicester vs Nottingham highlights:


"Commentary" provided by Steward and JVP being given a pair of microphones and permission to piss about - thought I'd tire of it very quickly, but it was mildly entertaining to hear all of the various squad nicknames and hear the camaraderie and affection for the rest of the squad, even the new players or youngsters coming through.

That Crawley lad who was on trial showed some nicer touches in those highlights. Could be playing himself into a contract if he's showing that in training.

Nice to see Pearson looking good at 15 and Maka as wide as he is tall off the bench. Some positives though it's a one sided friendly.

How'd Ale Loman get on?

How'd Ale Loman get on?

Looked like he had fun from the highlights posted (and seemed to be popular with Steward and JVP given their cries of "It's Sweeeeeeede!" when he scored). Hard to tell from that kind of runaround.

Thanks, I got put off by the bantz. I'll watch through now I know he gets a mention.

It's not much of a mention! Mostly bantz!

Probably not an idea to give them a couple of beers and then let them just talk over the highlights. Looks like they need their playing careers because punditry won't be for them.
