Going to call it early again, Fifita line out steal to seal the win!

Strong selection. I like that and can't wait.

Yes - Fifita to steal the line out and/or gallop forty metres in the last 60 seconds to score the winning try.

They really haven't forgiven us for earlier this season  :)

We'll be competitive if uninventive while our starting front row stay on the pitch.


Hoping that our back 3 may be able to deliver some surprises (to us, as well as Leicester)


I'm at the point where I just want our 9, 10, 12 to play simple, no mistake rugby.






My bet is that we'll concede at least 1 try within 60 seconds of a restart

Like our side - we're competitive as we start up front - we can score....BUT that one hell of an experienced and talented Tigers side and on paper...probably agree with betting odds of 9 point advantage to Tigers....though possibly not generous....

Our back three looks like it has more danger in it with Odogwu playing and Spink is more likely to get it through the hands to him.

Disappointed not to see Cruse if he's fit. He was always 1st choice for me.

I hope the starting front row can go deep in to the game. Frost hasn't been able to find his early season form, but its the replacement props that worry me and I wouldn't like to see them up against the Tigger's starting front row.

Nice to see Tom starting at 8, I think that bodes well for a bit more control and getting the ball out to the backs.

Its time for Mills to start repaying the faith that's been shown in him and show us what he can do next season.

I'll be watching this more in hope than expectation. I feel I've already checked-out of this season mentally and judging by the  lack of activity on here in the run up to this game I suspect I'm not the only.

Eh - Mills not in the 23.

Agree, still our best hooker for me.
