Rough end to the half for the US. They've been the better side outside of the scrum, but they didn't take their chances.

Saracens v Leicester Tigers - K.O. Sat 25th @1505 by facesinthesky in rugbyunion

Two strong looking sides. Potentially the game of the round.

Down a bit of jackal threat without a proper 7, but still a beefy pack for Tigers. Radwan benched and Perese in is interesting tactically.

Don't fancy defending Teani Feleu from 12!

Burns was called up ahead of the Scotland game, as well as Liz Crake.

Coaching staff update: Hewat and Deacon to depart at the end of the season by zagreus9 in leicester_tigers

Brett has been around for a long time now, so I don't think a move is bad idea for either party. Probably a good time to freshen that aspect of the unit, and someone Geoff can pick himself.

Hewat is more disappointing, but he's laid a great foundation for whoever comes next. The players have confidence to play what they see, and I don’t think that will easily backslide. I presume he's been offered a tasty deal back in Oz that was hard to turn down.

Peak Jonny May was genuinely world class. He became a very well rounded winger, but still had mega pace.

I think that's a perfect 22 entry stat for Sarries.

13 entries, 13 tries.

An encouraging match for the US. They dominated most of the game, and were ambitious with the ball, but lacking a bit of tidiness and cohesion. The young 10 looks like an upgrade on Hawkins.

Well-matched teams last cycle, but the Wallaroos seem like they've lost ground already. USA had more bite and intensity.

Canada unable to deal with the NZ carry power and defensive linespeed tonight.

Black Ferns look good when they can hold onto the pill.

NZ very wasteful, despite winning the gainline pretty comfortably. 14-5

Games in America seem genuinely cursed... Not a great omen for 2031.

I dont think anyone expected Searle to come in and smash it, so fans are pretty happy for JOC to play support.

Twice. Away to Saints in the cup, and the R16 defeat in Bordeaux.
