- Tigers 22 Boks 17. To think I nearly didn't go...
- Tigers putting 5 tries past Sale to win with 14 men for an hour after Jules decked Sheridan (who got off scot free for his niggling). Almost as much noise as the Boks game.
- Geordie's outrageous dropped goal from inside his half. 36 near flattened him in celebration. Geordie seemed more shocked than anyone that it went over.

So many more that others have noted too.

Johnno... sat in the Crumbie, trailing by 5 & with 10min to go, knowing we would win, never give in: the old Leicester dog.

Going to make myself feel very old here but, for me - very special memories of playing impromptu games on the clinker mound as a kid. It was usually the posh kids from the old Members' stand vs the oiks from the Crumbie! There was no ref - which is probably why the games flowed smoothly!
Happy days clearing straw from the pitch before the Baa-Baas games! KBO

Just played it... I remember also looking on & thinking "where the hell did Dan come from?!" - & that line out steal by Parling. I floated home from Twickenham.

I well remember arriving at Rosslyn Park one very wet Saturday, and watching the ducks swimming around the huge "pond" in the centre of their, um, pitch!

My son and I stayed on after the game, and the steward, who knew Les Cusworth well, plied us with a pot of player's beer, and a mass of ham rolls. Lovely!

Sitting in front of Murphys dad listening to him telling us about how terrible he thought it was the way Tigers were always fighting when training, then just as Ashton dragged Alesana off by his hair and all hell broke loose, Murphy's dad jumped to his feet shouting "hit him Geordy, hit him!" - true story!
