Heartbreak - Saints Semi Final Review

Mike and Elliott look back with sadness but also pride as they dissect a tight loss to the Tigers' East Midlands rivals, Northampton, after an enthralling fixture at Franklins Gardens. Plus, we give kudos to the boys who have been selected by England and announce some big news for the pod.

Mike and Elliott get a little bit nervous ahead of the East Midlands Derby and look at where the game will be won and lost, the importance of physicality, and place a bet on who can be the first to nick Henry Pollock's gumshield out of his mouth and chuck it into the crowd.

Mike and Elliott are honoured to be joined by the chairman of the 8/10 minimum standard club, Hanro Liebenberg. He talks the draw of returning home to South Africa, his favourite Tigers memories and, of course, his favourite Leicester curry. Plus, we munch on about a disappointing and frustrating loss to Exeter and look ahead to an intriguing final fixture against Bath at the Rec.

A jet-lagged Mike returns to chat with Elliott about marketing, injuries, academy promotions and a juicy 3rd v 4th clash against the Chiefs on Sunday at Welford Road.

With Mike's work commitments proving difficult, super-sub David Cowe comes off the bench to review a rare and much-needed away win in Manchester. We also panic over the latest Fly-Half injury, as well as celebrate England call ups and a century for Joe Heyes. 

Mike and Elliott celebrate one of the best wins in recent memory as the boys batter their East Midland rivals at a raucous Welford Road. We talk scrums, lineouts, total rugby, and an angry little blonde fellow. Plus, we look ahead to the next big match up against Sale oop north.

Mike and Elliott pay tribute to some big-name leavers and get stuck into what promises to be an absolute war as they preview the East Midlands derby at Welford Road this weekend. Plus, Elliott catches up with young Tigers openside Sam Williams about life in the Leicester seven shirt, and following a strong tradition of groundhogs.

Mike and Elliott host a punchy pod as there is no game next week, but find the time to welcome the announcement of new coaches to the Tigers roster and bemoan one of the Tigers' most frustrating games of the season, following a loss to Sarries.

Mike and Elliott enjoy reviewing the 5000th match at Welford Road in a thumping win over Newcastle, where Gabe Hamer-Webb scored about 5000 tries. We look ahead to a huge fixture in the playoff picture against Sarries and reflect on the sad news of the departure of coaches Peter Hewat and Brett Deacon.

Mike and Elliott gloss over a crushing defeat to the brilliant Bordeaux to look ahead to a chance to get back on the horse against the Newcastle Red Bulls, alongside some confirmed (and rumoured) comings and goings whilst we've been off.
