Team news vs Sarries

[tigermad]

That is a strong team to face Saracens and I expect the mother of all encounters at HQ tomorrow. Leicester to get the win and put a smile on a lot of faces.


LEICESTER TIGERS - WORLD CLASS

[voice of the crumbie]

So Neil de Kock won the toss and starts.

Just goes to show that Wigglesworth is a useless :censored:.

[Noggs]

All as expected.

It will be won or lost in the front 5. Farrell has looked good on the front foot but in the earlier season encounters we were not able to exert the pressure which I would expect us to administer tomorrow.

I like the use of the tank and dan as impact players. If we are to break their defence it will most likely come in the final 20 minutes when tiredness starts to kick in. The stains were out on their feet in the final 15 of the semi. Strength in depth

...de Kock won the "9" jersey on the toss of a coin ? Very strange !...perhaps that's the 12T problem...he keeps calling "tails never fails" and it keeps coming up heads.

I'm confident that this will be the team to stop the Sarries doing the treble over us this season.I think that this is the first time we have played them this season at full strength.Glad to see Castro starting he should have the edge on Carlos Nieto.

If we play with the commitment from start to finish as we did against Saints, Sarries won't be able to keep up,as already said they looked dead on there feet in the final 20 mins against Glaws.Hope that Young's and Foody are on top of there game,and i hope that Alex is ready to run in the winning try!!!


COME ON YOU TIGERS!!!!!

[POSTIGER]

For me the key is the back row. If Burger and co get on top then Youngs and Flood might have a difficult time of it. If we are equal (to what I think is Sarries' strongest dept) or even better them at the breakdown then we'll win - it'll be ours for the taking!

[G.K]

With 12T and TTE on the bench nothing can stop us winning in the last 20 minutes!

[POSTIGER]

I'm sure we'll see TTTE at some point -I'm not so sure we'll see Billy!

[paula123]

It would be a great shame if Billy doesn't get at least 20 mins.It would be the least he deserves.

[Tigerbeat]

Billy will get very little game time, if any, if the game is going in Tigers favours.

He will only get on if Tigers are chasing the game in the last quarter or there are injuries to any of the backs.

Looking forward to tomorrow!!!

[kpb]

We'll see plenty of Billy next season and at least he will get his medal tomorrow.


It will be our last chance to see our internationals in there Tigers shirts until November time after the RWC,a good win will be a big morale boost for the lads ahead of a tough long summer.

[Tigers27]

I personally think the game will be close with 20 to go, and Billy will come off the bench and do what he didn't do against Sarries the last time we played them!!!! Squad looks good tomorrow, cannot wait to see the hat trick!!

For all of us not heading of to Twickers here's something to wet our appetite
