Re: Team up for Aironi - Forsyth gets chance!
Great to see some of the academy guys getting the starts they deserve,I hope that Forsyth proves what he is capable of and can reward the the faith that Cockers has put in him.
Our pack looks rock solid and should dominate the breakdown and set pieces,lets just hope our backs produce the goods.
Can't see a TBP,but I think we will come away with a hard fought win.

Re: Team up for Aironi - Forsyth gets chance!
Beware, Aironi are a pretty handy side & their pack will be no pushover, as for the bench Skivington is very very lucky to make the 23 IMHO.
This game has the potential to go horribly wrong.
Matt Smith no doubt is playing with a knock & held together by tape just like his Dad used to do for us, the detractors of Smith jnr ought to think about what playing for Tigers means to him, as a Squad I believe we are now missing a few "Matt Smiths", they are the reason we have been successfull over the pro era.

To win is not as important as playing with style!

Leicester looking good so far and a bonus point win is possible.
LEICESTER TIGERS - NUFF SAID

Good first 20 but getting sloppy in the second 20. Poor execution and lack of intensity has taken us off the boil. TBP possible but only if we step up the tempo and accuracy.

Tigers becoming scrappy towards the end of the first half
Scrum going very well (obvious to everyone apart from the ref unfortunately)
Line out there or thereabouts
Harrison playing well, Salvi playing well - Forsyth not looking out of place
Need to consolidate early in second half - Aironi not out of it yet

Tigers great for the first 20 mins but are slowly degenerating, soft penalties and sloppy play.
Leaders on the pitch need to get a grip of this now.

Still messy
Flood hit the post with an early penalty
Another go now...and over; 6-23

Leicester must push on from this strong position in the second 40 and a TBP is possible.

Murphy fields an up and under well, but holds on when tackled - pen to Aironi

Re: Team up for Aironi - Forsyth gets chance!
Good attack off the back of the scrum by Tigers into the 22, but Deacon knocks on - scrum to Aironi
Won against the hard by Tigers, AT just put into touch
Getting close
Castro and Youngs coming on...(great reception from the crowd)

Re: Team up for Aironi - Forsyth gets chance!
latest penalty against Tigers at the lineout for driving whilst their man was in the air.
They held him up whilst all of the other forwards moved around to start the drive - he was in the air for over a second after catching the ball.
Presumably the ref would have also allowed them to walk the man forwards towards the try line

Aironi camped in the Tigers 22 for the last 5 to 10 mins
Initiative all with Aironi at the moment - scrum collapsing - Leicester clear with a kick from Flood, but still in play - Tigers give away another penalty, and back down to the Tigers 22...
