Tigers Watch

If we pull off the two wins, I'd be focussing on the HEC and gearing everything towards having the team right.

I agree, but at the same time, don't throw the Rabo - we still have a decent shot at it when you look at our fixtures we have during the 6N.

Ah but ruckie half of those on here only look at the present and the past and don't look forward as you have as what is to come in the future

Here's the thing. We will struggle to catch the Turnips as will Ladyboys. I fancy us to finish 4th and go to Turnipstan in the SF, win it there and If we do that, do we get to nominate the final venue? or does it stay at Thomond as nominated by Munster? or does it then go to the winner of the 2nd v 3rd?

It goes to second v third winner, highest ranked from league gets home advantage

Full strength team I'd back us to beat anyone anywhere. If we finished fourth in the league and went to Turnipstan I'd back us to come away with the win.

I still think it's too far away to predict exactly where we'll finish - a lot of rugby to be played - but top 4 is definitely within reach.

This Tiggers backline hasn't got a clue

Aye but they have a narrow pitch which suits them better than us

We have Jared Payne to cruise through some gaps

Nobody is worried about their backline. Their pack is formidable.
Weather will play a big part in this fixture.

[davejohnston]

Maybe our inability to defend a maul is just a rouse. They will kick to the corners all night and try to drive over. Hopefully someone at Ulster will have came up with a plan for that.

Given that the Tiggers drew at home tonight, I would back Treviso to cause an upset here. Treviso have a decent pack, and everyone expected them to cause an upset at some stage..

[ruckover]

Treviso are terrible this season. If they are to cause an upset against Leicester it will take them to play out of their skins and the Tigers to have an off day. Neither seem likely.

Well we clearly are not fully firing, but we are still getting players back from injury and looked a bit rusty to say the least. Key thing is we are still scoring as well as leaking soft tries, this side has plenty of heart and play for the full 80 minutes, one last penalty kick missed, could have been a win, settle for the two points and equal fourth in the league.

Was it a full available team?
