Welford Road, Leicester

This afternoon’s match, in the Autumn sunshine, between Tigers and Sale. Given the result and performance, it’s pretty hard to believe we were Champions last season. Irrespective of that, it was a pleasant afternoon with good company watching the match.

Thank you for your views, comments and favs on yesterday’s offering. Much appreciated.

Nice action shot! Eee, I haven't been to live rugby since we lived in Dublin. You'll know how long ago that was as I loved to watch Ronan O'Gara and Brian O'Driscoll play!

@casablanca Those two legends certainly date the last match you saw. Sport is an escape, so win, lose or draw, it’s a great time for me to unwind.

@phil_sandford Sounds perfect. Shortly after we left, I was pregnant so that probably accounts for it. Must go back! A favourite chill of mine is cricket at Lord's. Fabulous atmosphere and all those MCC blazers 😁

@carole_sandford Probably the best bit about the afternoon 🤣🤣

Wish I had been there, I'm a Sale supporter, husband, being from Leicester is a huge Tigers supporter, would have been a great afternoon!

@countrylassie Despite the result it was a good afternoon in the sunshine watching live sport; the folk who sit around me are really good company, so win lose or draw, it's a good afternoon out. No complaints on the score, Sale were really good and Tigers were not.
