Leicester v Clermont Auvergne

[DaveRave]

Hamilton in front of the kicker from kick off. He's having a mare.

[DaveRave]

Flood pen. 20-19. 18 mins left.

[DaveRave]

How did we not score?
Hamilton hacks forward, but instead of hacking on again he went down on the ball. Support arrived, but we knocked on. Gilt edged chance.

[DaveRave]

Ulster have 4 tries in Italy.

[DaveRave]

Flood pen. 23-19. 8 mins to go.

[DaveRave]

Parra misses a long pen. 4 mins left.

[Tiger Ant]

Ulster have 4 tries in Italy.

You must be mistaken. Apparently this is impossible as Italian teams are no longer a pushover.

[DaveRave]

We win!
Tremendous second half performance, contrasting with the error-strewn first.

I am indeed mistaken. They've scored 5.

Much better second half.Much more control.Still sooooooooo much more to do and a long way to go.

Its ours to lose now.

[Darc Tiger]

I'll take that. Good second half. 2 more wins should see us through. We can do it!

[tigerburnie]

Apparently French teams don't travel either,,just shows how little the pundits know.Each game is it's own entity.
Today my team won,that will do for me,massive result .

[SpanishTiger]

someone please correct me because i was called out when i pointed how we should have got 4 tries at italy:

-Both Clermont and Ulster took BP againsts aironi, Ulster home and away.

Myth busted.

Also Matt Smith, how could anyone prefer him rather than twelvetrees? I dont even know if he played today.

Great game by Waldrom, incredible player he is, never gives up, turnovers, charges, tackles. And how Flood rise after his shocking first should be noted as well. Salvi is a keeper, love him.

[PM76]

A much better second half and a win was the main thing. We need to win our next 2 Heiny games to even come second , we are only 1 point ahead of Clermont who will probably get 10 from their next 2 games, 9 points would see us top or second and 21 points would be enough to sneak in via the back door.

Still problems in the backs though. Hopefully Flood will carry on from his second half performance, as well as his kicking you could see his tackling and game mangement improve once his confidence was up. All the players need to improve IMO. Manu MOTM for me, with Salvi and Waldrom close.

Eyes now turn to the prem where it is key for us to win our next 3 and then we will be in a decent position pre 6 nations. IMO the next 3 games should be used to give Morris, 12trees, Hawkins and Slater/ Kitchener runs in the side, if they don't perform then we can revert to Murphy, Smith, Skivs and Chuter for the Ulster game knowing they will perform consistently but not brilliantly. Deacon for captain with Flood or Salvi as vice IMO.

Bring on Ravenhill !!!!!
