But I’m confident we will find a way..
Let's hope that incidents do not occur, over which we have no control, which cause us to lose players for a number of very important weeks - injuries or cards. And obviously keen our discipline!

Confident of a home win with that squad, decent Briz side but fortress Welford Road and a noisy crowd should see us home.

COME ON YOU TIGERRRRrrrssssss

That’s strong. As mentioned before: suffocating defence, beat them up in the forwards, positional play, lots of mauls and forward tries. Thacker at 2 should indicate we can boss their scrum.

Only thing that has looked weak of late is our rolling maul from lineouts. Hopefully we can resurrect that weapon.

Montoya makes a huge difference to that rolling maul

Tigers have never lost with Montoya, Liebenberg and Wiese in the starting XV.

I think he’s my favourite player. An absolute colossus. No nonsense, just gets on with it. Hard as nails. Great over the ball. Set piece rock solid. I can’t see a weakness.

Great stat, Tiglon. Had not realised that. Like others, I rate Montoya really highly, superb signing.

I’d say he’s the worlds best hooker at present and you would have to say Genge is in the top 3 worlds best LH. Put the polar bear in there and that’s a formidable front row!

Great squad. Bristol play a similar way to Quins and are more confident after a great result v Gloucester. I’m sure we won’t take anything for granted. They’ve nothing to lose. Should be a great game.

Will be interesting to see how the attack functions without a second playmaker in the backs. Does put a lot on Ford.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Burns come on at fullback at some point.

I'm not convinced by the whole "two playmakers" thing. I don't think Burns does any more "playmaking" at 15 than Steward or anyone else does, we just make assumptions because he's primarily a fly half but when at 15 he mostly seems to play the role of a 15.
