Is this being streamed anywhere, @Tigs Man ?

How does this work? I know essentially nothing about the academy league system

Where you've labelled them 1st/2nd etc. is that just the teams respective rankings and is just the first round of games or is it that game that decides which team is 1st etc (i.e. is 5th place the highest sale can go?)

1st place teams from North and South play each other to see who finishes 1st or 2nd
2nd place teams " " 3rd or 4th
3rd place teams " " 5th or 6th

I didn't word it very well on my part.

Don't think usually just highlights on the prem youtube channel after. Although this year might be different not sure.

i know i like to hype up Tigers players but lock George Martin is a serious prospect at only 16 years old. Both him and Jordan have a lot of potential.

England under 18's selectors might wanna bang their heads against a few walls. Only 2 Tigers selected to Gloucester's 7..
