Good atmosphere on the supporters coach, but the M25 is, predictably, a car park.

At Twickers but too nervous to eat or drink anything. Where's the feeling sick emoji?

He comes on with his own tired looking legs. On the wide Twickenham pitch he would be a liability in defence. He started the season well enough but since the early part of the year he looks like he is wearing diving boots.Louis wrote: ↑Fri Jun 17, 2022 12:23 pmI am a little surprised at Nadolo being left out. He offers a real game changing option against late game tired legs, which might be telling against Sarries' big ball carriers in the latter minutes of the match. Not just quick enough, but big enough to knock people like Itoje around a bit.westwinds31 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 17, 2022 12:00 pm STARTING XV

Defence consists of a speculative dive in the hope of making a tap tackle.
He might be able to thunder over from 5m but so should second rows and no coach would play them on the wing.
Old Father Time is unforgiving.

It doesn’t tell the full story I know but someone put the stats up that actually our defence has been better and we have conceded less tries when he’s been on the field. There’s an awful lot of factors in that thoughmol2 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 18, 2022 12:42 pmHe comes on with his own tired looking legs. On the wide Twickenham pitch he would be a liability in defence.

First time since 1978 John Player Cup Final, that I won't be at Twickers to see us in a final. Feel gutted.
Best of luck to the lads, and supporters of Tiger's. Have a great day out. and may success be ours. : :

Probably better for your bank balance too.
Can't be there but, like most others, just overjoyed that the dreadful days seem to be behind us.

Flats everytime.
Re: Premiership Final v Saracens - 18th June 2022 KO 15:00
I’ve had the same dilemma but have heard dayglo anti tigers bias one too many times this season. Cannot stand the man as a pundit and even worse as a commentator so I’ll be watching on ITV4.Ashurstwoodtiger wrote: ↑Sat Jun 18, 2022 2:39 pm Can't make game but decision to be made BT or ITV4 which one to watch the game on.
