Tigers vs Ulster - Teams up!!

[tigerburnie]

It's a team to do a job, Tait and Morris will get plenty of high balls to deal with and Goneva is a threat from anywhere on the park and is just that bit more solid in defnsive positioning for me.
Slater and Mafi cover all the back 5

[voice of the crumbie]

Strong line up. Only questions for me are:
1. given Benjamin's recent form why is he not included
2. no Logo on the bench when I thought he was said to be fit

[RagingBull]

Looks like a team that main focus is playing tight rugby imo, which is needed we don't need a TBP and Ulster can have a LBP, we need to win.

Suspect Benji is injuryed.

JC instead of Waldrom is right choice imo we need to target the mauls and keep it tight.

Maybe.

Logo may not be fit enough, and Benji may have picked up something eho knows.

Get the feeling Niki is going to be well and truly tested under the high ball by Jackson, Pienaar and Trimble. Still, good looking team, lineout and maul are going to be big.

[Guinness&Nuts]

Exact team I would have selected. Some close calls, but good to see Slater and Kitchener paired. Also a blessing that Benjamen is injured as Goneva is more aggresive in defence.

Leicester must win the breakdown battle first and foremost and not kick the ball aimlessly away. I have a feeling the first 20 mins will be key.

[kingol22]

Very good looking team imo, closest we have been to a full strength starting 15 all season. Should be enough to get the win and then we can start building some momentum for the home 1/4 final.

[Bunchy]

No Benjamin or Thompstone to be seen. No TTTE on the bench either. Strange.

Mafi gives much more cover from the bench than TTE

[tigerburnie]

A fair few of the UAFC crew coming over, they reckon close to 5000, so let's make sure the Welford Road faithfull are in good voice and roar the Tigers home to victory.

[RagingBull]

does anyone suspect Slater as our 8 replacement, with Deacon designed to come on and take his place as enforcer if Crane goes off.

Logo played like a Trojan for us in the first half of the season I think he played in every game until he was injured . Cockers did say Logo was fit again so I'm surprised he is at least not on the bench. Benjamins tackling has been flaky, but he does finish try scoring moves.

Slater is very much in the enforcer role, no worries in that regard.
