May have to postpone my postprandial stroll until 5pm myself.

Tigers entertain the Saints next week so they should pick a few bruises before they play us.

Worth a watch, semi final opponents vs potential final opponents
The significant other will question why I'm (always) watching sport with two teams I don't even like. I'll say 'it's a bloody scouting operation! I'm making sacrifices here! I have to do it for God and Ulster!'

Freeeeeeeeeedooooom!!!!!!
You and me both Dave taking one for the team, there's not that many of us left.
Leicester now struggling to make the playoffs but not giving up on top four. They'll want to nail down European qualification so that may have an impact on how they view the semifinal. Borthwick isn't easy to predict.

Any word on Sam Carter? is he close? Two weeks? I'm presuming Hendy will be available.

Even if Carter is cleared to play.

He hasn’t played since January, will he have match fitness and not be rusty. It’s taken him a few games in past to go through gears.

Be harsh to drop either O’Connor or Treadwell.

Hendo to come straight back in if he is ready beside big Al. Treadwell on the bench to provide some impact with 20 to go.

So anyway, Bath probably deserved the win. Tried to play a bit more rugby although they lacked direction.

Bar the odd kick up in the air by Ford, Tigers just looked for scrum pens. They’ll probably get a few against us, but if they want to score in 3s then bully for them.

Nothing to fear.

Leicester had a good kicking game today, with the big left winger and number 8 looking dangerous. Their number 8 put in a ton of work but let himself down with a stupid penalty at the end which lost them the game.

Will be tight enough, if only because Borthwick is savvy coach.

Surprised he’s nailed his colours to the mast tbh.

“We just don’t know” seems to be his stock answer on the podcast.
