IF IT HAPPENED IT”S HISTORY: PREM CUP 2026

Saracens 26

Tigers 31 (Reffell 2t, Theobaldd-Thomas 1t, Allan 1t, Manz 1t, Bailey 2c, Whitley 1c)

Stone X Stadium, 14 February

The Tigers are into their 25th semi-final in the National Cup (John Player, Pilkington, Anglo-Welsh etc, 1971 to present).

Steward the only decent back in white today. #scoveng

Scotland better in the backs (15 excluded). Perhaps stop picking Northampton? #Scoveng

Freddie was yellow carded for a knee in the face like that not long ago. Admittedly wrongly.

Watching the game muted because Leicester game is on the wireless. #irevita @leicestertigers.bsky.social

It’s a bad rule. Always subjective. Knock on should be knock on —> scrum. Discourage loose passing, incentivise interceptions. #irevita

Oh no. When did Tigers last win 3 in a row against Saracens?

79 min and Freeman wakes up?

Tbf Eng not that good. 12, 13, 14 comical at times. Capt yellow. Risky against a better team. #EngvWal #LlovCym

What do we say?
In the canon of the mass the priest prays ‘together with your servant N our pope…’
The Latin preposition ’cum’ (with) usually takes the ablative. Leo is helpfully a common word (lion), albeit 3rd declension. So: ‘Una cum famulo tuo Papa nostro Leone…’.

Nice to see some ex Tigers having fun down under. Dolley 3T, Potter 2T for Western Force in Fiji

Dullest Calcutta Cup in recent times. But then England didn’t have their best 9, 10, 15 - well maybe the best 10 was at 15?

Israel-Hamas-Deal: Freigelassene Palästinenser berichten von Misshandlungen Eine Mutter, eine Studentin und ein Teenager kamen im Rahmen des Abkommens zwischen Israel und der Hamas frei. Hier berichten die drei Palästinenser von Schlägen, Erniedrigung und Willkür. Und ihrer Furcht, bald wieder verhaftet zu werden.

Nothing in comparison to everything but a small consolation for Palestine

Kurzer Reminder, dass "irreguläre" oder "unkontrollierte" oder gar "illegale Migration" alles Versuche von rechten und konservativen Populisten sind, das Asylrecht negativ zu framen.

Illegal ist es, Menschen im Mittelmeer ertrinken zu lassen, über Grenzen zu prügeln & in Lagern verrotten zu lassen.

Snow on the #fells: ice on the rock face.

Missing apostrophe? I’m more troubled by “St. Mary”. The BCP uses “S.” for Saint and “B. V.” For Our Lady. So “B. V. Mary’s Terrace” would be much better. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023...
