Would have liked a home draw but we can go to Welford and win. Need Henderson back and our props in good shape.

Seeing the colour drain from BODs face as Leinster drew ROGs La Rochelle away was a joy to watch.

Going to have to win it the hard way. I don't mind us going to Welford Road, it's not the fortress it once was. We can focus 100% on the game while Leicester will have one eye on their league position and European qualification for 21-22.
For us the same thing applies as this week we need to keep 15 on the field and execute with accuracy. If we do that we are favourites especially if there are no supporters.

The big issue is that it looks like Ulster won’t have any games between now and 1st weekend in May. Also a problem for Leinster in the Champions Cup. On the other hand, tired bodies will have ample time to recover and maybe, just maybe we’ll be able to pick from a full deck bar Marcel.

Yep. Next 2 weeks for Leicester will be telling to see if they’re still fighting for premiership playoffs or out of the running and looking for Bic Biro as priority.

Without bothering to google but pretty sure our record is good against Leicester - beat them 2019 and 2012 if I recall and not forgetting way back 33 nil.

Still looks rigged in favour of Perfidious Albion though.

Perhaps not, but never miss an opportunity to claim it. >EW

That draw is very good for us, home even without the fans will still be in our favour, tough league game against Barf in a week will be a good indicator, if we can win at the Wreck(oooops sorry the Rec) then our confidence will be sky high. This competition has been a distraction, but our new/young players have risen to it and we might as well give it a go and see if we can win something, do the bookies still have you favourites to win it?
