Against

Bevan Rodd Tommy Taylor Nick Schonert Cobus Wiese Lood de Jager Jono Ross Tom Curry Jean-Luc du Preez

I think they’ve definitely got us beat in the second row. Wells could probably hold his own, but Green needs a BIG game. Ross is on for a yellow card every time he plays, so should have a period against 14 men.

Agreed, but I fancy our chances in the front row. The back row will be a a great battle!

IMHO we are top in the "controlling positions" such as half backs and front row. I think our back three are also on top. Their centres, though, should not be allowed the ball, ever!

This is going to be a hell of a game! We definitely should not underestimate Sale.

I think it will be a (more entertaining) repeat of the Sarries game. Keep in striking range till the 70th minute and let our fitness show!

I really hope it is not that close and we don't just only win in the last second with a penalty try! I just want to see Sanderson's face when we win :D

Kelly's defence has been questionable and with Manu and Van Rysenburg running at him he will be in for a torrid time. He will have to be at his very very best to keep them out. This will be an immense test of where Tigers truly are, I am nervous but optomistic, a good start is vital as is retaining possession.

Gonna be epic! Just favourites because of no Faf or McGinty. Leicester by 3

Can’t argue with that. Half back absentees do tip it our way slightly I reckon and hopefully the home crowd will tip it further still. Just hope the officials don’t tip it back the other way! Should be a cracking match.. looking forward to watching this one especially

True, but so is Manu's defence...

I’m fully expecting a delayed pass by Ford putting Kelly through the hole left by Manu shooting out of the defensive line at some stage tomorrow!

[Scott1]

Just hope Dickson doesn’t spoil it but you know he will find some way to!

[RagingBull]

Has Kelly's defence been that questionable?

I don’t recall,doesn’t seem to stand out that it’s poor. Struggling to find any howlers in the memory bank

[LE18]

Wow, this is going to be a very scary game, looking at Sale side it really is going to be a tough one for us, can we do it?

[tigerburnie]

Home advantage with the Welford Road crowd roaring us on, big win for me.
COME ON YOU TIGERRRrrrssssss
