YOUR HIGHLIGHT OF SEASON
Mine has to be a long weekend in Treviso. With its wine festival - trips to Venice - meeting players after match - chatting to the Treviso fans - Meyers round of applause etc etc.
Just a note for those moaning about lack of fans in Edinburgh how many fans in Treviso - 3500 fantastic effort, we have some of the most royal fans in Europe if they can get to the matches they will, dont knock the ones who cant make them all!
Thanks TIGERS for a excellent season on & off the pitch.

Keep standing areas in the new stadium!!

Murrayfield - one of few matches I made it to this year due to Uni, spent a couple of days with Dad, great match with fantastic atmosphere only improvement would have been if we'd won
Re: YOUR HIGHLIGHT OF SEASON
Has to be the game at welford road were we lost white and still won or the home games against bath 1st one was the best
Re: YOUR HIGHLIGHT OF SEASON
I have to fall in line with Kingol and GT.
In terms of the most enjoyable occasion our long weekend in Treviso has to take it. Rugby trips to Italy are always special - the arrival of the Tigers is always a big event for the Italians and they welcome us with great friendship and hospitality. The family all went together ( a rare event as the kids have got older now) - I've been hoping to draw Treviso for years and would thoroughly recommend what is a relatively simple trip if we happen to draw them again in future - I'll certainly there.
My choice of greatest performance is also the 14 man game against Sale and my greatest moment of the year was the scrum immediately after Julian White was dismissed - Castro's face was classic. I've kept my recording of the game and I've a feeling it will be watched again a few times over the coming years.

Re: YOUR HIGHLIGHT OF SEASON
The only Heineken Cup game I missed this eason was Treviso away - but Perpignan - with Carcassonne on the itinery- was good too if a bit pricey thanks to the euro being at its strongest in mid December.
Personal fave performance was Gloucester at home - we never scored a try but battered the life out of them - I said to some Glaws fans behind us during the second half that if it had been boxing the ref would have stopped the fight. And living where i do made it all the sweeter.
Happy to have a break now but will be chomping at the bit by September to be back on the terrace.
Have a great summer all.

J Murphy's try that was set up by Ben Youngs, at the Wasps game.

Geordan Murphy's drop goal from the half-way line was magical! Can't remember the game?

Re: YOUR HIGHLIGHT OF SEASON
That was in the Gloucester game! It was made all the better by the ball wedging itself under the advertising boards!
Its on the ITV highlights;

I am unable to access the highlights because, according to the site I am not in the UK.
Am I the only one who has received this comment?

Re: YOUR HIGHLIGHT OF SEASON
London Irish at the Madejski was pretty special, particularly Matt Smith's try set up by Alesana Tuilagi.
Today is yesterday's tomorrow.

Has to be Dupuy looking left, looking right, piroutteing and realing the defence has run past him, and running through unapposed!

GT1...I'm with you there...I only managed to get to Bristol, Irish and Gloucester away games...but going to Treviso was the icing on the cake. Ten of us went, Venice on the Friday night, started early in the square at lunchtime on Saturday....bus to the ground...several beers outside some shop that had a fridge with beer in it !! Great game...then meeting the players (Aaron Mauger, I salute you, putting up with me) and getting the match ball signed was the highlight...followed by the best sing song ever ! Never laughed so much...except when my car blew a head gasket on the M25 on the way back....arrived back home at 8pm on the Sunday night. Brilliant weekend.
