Carraro set to leave the mighty Bath.

So the worst kept secret at Bath Rugby has been confirmed Matt Carraro is set to leave the club.

All we need now is to get rid of the coaches and we can book the fat lady for next season when we win the Jeff, Amlin (maybe the HC if they pull their finger out) and the LV Cup.

All they need is some injuries to important forwards next year and they could be relegated as their form has been terrible.

I didn't know they had any important forwards!

HKC they are the ones dragging the mediocare forwards and awful backs into the LBP position in games.

With the arrival of their new lodger (Mulipola) I assumed the mighty bath was the one in the Tuilagi household. Especially as these Samoans believe in communal bathtime.

Bloody hell LT that would have to be a swimming pool! They must have a walk in freezer as well as these Samoan boys like their meat and judging by the size of them they don't do small portions.

Bath who ?

Bath munkian, the little City in the South West of England, the little club that has achived more in the HC than all the Welsh Clubs/Regions put together.

It has a rugby club ? Doesn't that clash with all the pretty white buildings ?

The city used to have a very good rugby club. Where did it go?

A good question LondonTiger. I think it all went wrong when the number 13 shirt was brought back, unlucky for some...

I miss the quirks of shirt numbering/lettering we used to get.

You guys with no 13 (and Guscott wearing 12 for England to support that)
Us and Bristol with letters, but starting in opposite directions.

Ah the ABC club Tiger...Garforth, Cockerill, Rowntree...now thats a front row...!

Those were the days! Richmond didnt have a 13 shirt either and wasnt there another club which retired a shirt? West Hartlepool? Orrel? I cant remember.


Those sort of quirks added a little interest to rugby, its a shame all of that has been done away with really. Although having said that the rag doll is still around for Llanelli vs Bath.

The letters are still on the Tigers shirts, printed underneath the badge on the front as opposed to on the back though.

Really?

I didn't know that, but then everytime I look at a Leicester Shirt I

Well I understand with the 'platinum' shirts. Believe me they are not popular with the Tigers faithful. The green, red and white number though, well there is no finer shirt in the world.

No matter how many times I am told they are "platinum" they still look beige.

Yeah the letters were on the shorts - fairly large. Then we had to remove them so now they are below the badge but rather small.
