Anyone catch Mr Parling's response to Craig Doyle disrupting
Leicester's warm up before their match with Gloucester?

Doyle shouldn’t have been on the pitch, Parling should’ve chosen
his words better almost certainly knowing he’d be on live TV.

I couldn't even hear Parling swear although I'm sure it comes
through on better audio, plus the push was a lot more minor that
I thought. It's a nothing burger but my sympathies lie more with
Parling.

Non-event. I thought it was going to be something serious, but
they were in the wrong, he told them to get off, they
apologised. All done.

After the social media attention it received, I thought it was
going to be something serious.
I'm a bit underwhelmed by it.

I saw it live. I'd missed why MacDevitt was setting up a kick in
the first place. Parling's reaction was a little unexpected but
quite funny. I think Doyle went on about it a bit much
afterwards.
In other news, a Pirates coach, maybe even the DoR, ran on the
pitch and slapped a Worcester player yesterday. He was
red-carded.

Parling was a complete knob. It was no big deal.

The real disgrace is the tigers fans all claiming that a loopy
conversion from 50 yards away could cause an injury to 18 stone
rugby players.

Tigers statement
“Ahead of the Slater Cup game yesterday, an incident occured
during the warm-up where TNT Sport presenters took a kick at
posts under which Tigers players were warming up. Whilst this
was contrary to standard practise and - as always - the
well-being of those players under the posts was Geoff Parling's
primary concern, Leicester Tigers and Geoff Parling accept that
the response was unnecessary and would like to apologise
unreservedly to everyone involved.
Geoff Parling said, "I would like to apologise for the incident
pre-game yesterday - it is important we stay a family focused
game and it wasn’t appropriate for viewers to see that."
"We have a great product in the Gallagher PREM and I offer my
thanks to Craig Doyle and everyone at TNT for continuing to
innovate and think differently. After talking last night we’ll
make sure we are fully aligned behind new ideas, including when
best to use them; and keep pushing our game to new audiences.”
Those on the ground at Villa Park have also been offered private
apologies from Geoff and the club, and Tigers appreciate the
apologies for the kick taking place initially.
Leicester Tigers hope that this matter can now be considered
closed, and that attention be turned to the fantastic occasion
that The Slater Cup provided once again.“
