The Return of Cockers - Richard Cockerill interview, Bristol (H) Review, Black Lion (H) Preview
We were toying with the title "we hate rugby" given the sickening feeling of throwing away a 19 point lead against Bristol, but thankfully Leicester legend Richard Cockerill stops by to tell us all about his Georgian rugby project with the national side and their franchise, Black Lion, as they come to town for a friendly on Friday night. We do of course delve into the gutting defeat at the weekend, but as always we try to find some positives and Elliott reveals some of the discussions at the open forum with Dan McKellar and Richard Wilks.

Fallout at Franklins - Joe Heyes Interview, Northampton (A) Review, Bristol (H) Preview
Mike and Elliott drag themselves in front of the mic to chat about a crushing loss away at Northampton, a defeat that may spell the end of Tigers' playoff hopes. As always, we try to find some reason and some positives in the performance, before picking ourselves back up to have a chat to old mate Joe Heyes and to get behind the boys ahead of a tasty fixture at Welford Road against a red-hot Bears side.

A Dangerous Derby Day - Northampton (A) Preview with Charlie Morgan
Mike and Elliott are joined by Daily Telegraph journalist Charlie Morgan as we prepare for a crucial fixture at Franklins Gardens against Northampton Saints. We look at Tigers' chances against a team in (begrudgingly) red hot form, look for droplets of hope to cling on to and, crushingly, say goodbye to some pod favourites after Tigers announced their leaving list.

Leinster'd but Proud - Leinster (A) Review
Mike and Elliott live back a brilliant but blustery weekend in Dublin, dampened only by a defeat to Ireland/Leinster. We look at what there was to love about the performance and how it could set the tone for the Premiership run-in.

The 100 Minute Match - Newcastle (H) Review, Leinster (A) Preview

Cheesed Off - Gloucester (H) Review, Newcastle (A) Preview
Mike and Elliott endure talking about another defeat to Gloucester in the Cheese Derby / Slater Cup and ponder what it means for Tigers' playoff hopes. We search for some positives before looking ahead to a tricky fixture away at Newcastle with their pesky, gobby coach - Mr Steve Diamond.
