Tigers v Ulster - Friday 13th

[tigermad]

This will be the mother of all encounters at fortress Ravenhill but anything is possible. Leicester need to be on the money from minute 1 and take the game to Ulster. A win of any description will do me tomorrow night.


LEICESTER TIGERS - ALL THE WAY

[PJLowry]

I think out of the teams named, Ulster have the stronger pack and leicester have the stronger backline. Ulster's backline looks a bit light weight with paddy wallace playing for the first time in ages, and Terblanche at full back isnt exactly big. So as an Ulster fan I'm worried, and I would hope if things dont go to plan then McLaughlin is prepared to bring on Marshall early for humph (watch out for him tigers fans!)

Leicester have an impressive number of choices at back row, but so have ulster (why roger wilson and others have been able to leave). Lookin forward to see how 12 trees performs. Could be the difference! I shall be watching from the terrace :)

How I'm wishing for a performance like the one at Thomond Park when we attacked them relentlessly from the start.

Not sure it'll happen, but I can hope. If we can rattle them early on and quieten the crowd, there is a chance.

I wish the players the best of luck tomorrow but I feel that the club should be making a stand against Friday night matches by refusing to play.

It is completely unfair on the away club and their supporters for a key European match to be played on a Friday. It means that less away supporters will be able to travel there and gives the home team an extra advantage. I have always considered it to be a form of cheating that should be stamped out.

I think we need to let them score a try first. We always seems to do better when our backs are against the wall. If we get a lead early on we will switch off as usual and let them back in

I have read some drivel on this forum in my time but this takes the biscuit. Are you seriously suggesting Leicester should refuse to play the match partly because some supporters cannot get to Belfast on a Friday night? What's next - don't play on rainy days in case some supporters don't like getting wet? Perhaps we should consider changing the club colours to accommodate any supporters who have red-green colour blindness.

Very good team from what we have available. Hopefully the backs will of gelled last week and will be firing on all cylinders for this one.

We need a strong performance from the pack, if we dominate them up front we will win. Lineout should be strong, Scrum should be strong if not dominate but it will only get stronger when the subs come on.

I'm feeling optimistic so Tigers by 12.

That would definitely do me although i have a feeling it may be closer then that.I just hope Billy can keep cool and calm as i feel Ulster may be targeting him from kick off.

I'm nervous already and their is still 11 hours to go.

Tigers by 3.

COME ON YOU TIGERS!!!

That is clearly around the neck and a high tackle - penalty to Tigers! Billy will smash over the 3 points every time!!!
