AWC final

[strawclearer]

Right - that's the Cup won so now we need to do the domestic double by winning the League too! #totallycarriedaway

[Louis]

I am not disappointed. I may have broken out in a smirk.

Well done Tigers, well done Murphy and coaches and well done Richard Cockerill- these are after all the players you brought to the club

Good performances all round. Nice t get some silverware.

Thacker with 33 tackles was everywhere. Our lineout defence looks a lot better with Kitch disrupting the opposition.

You might have a point, but you can't help yourself can you, He's gone move on

[ellis9]

It's a bit like the Burns situation. He is leaving the club- move on!

Anyway well done Tigers!

Burns has done himself great credit, 100 % commitment when he could have just gone through the motions.

More than his replacement showed when he was leaving, against Stains at Twickers. What's done is done - sadly.

I would've preferred half a dozen more youngsters involved.
McCaffery MoM IMO, best 7 at Leicester.
To be brutally honest I don't think selection has been in the true spirit of this competition and IMO firmer rules and limits on age etc are needed if any integrity is to be preserved.
I think the attendance showed just how much integrity has been lost!

But apart from the average age; the MotM; the spirit of selection; the lax rules; the integrity of the competition and the attendance...did you enjoy it?!?!

Team selections have always been mixed in the LV. The two teams in the final were evenly matched with a selection of young players mixed with some squad options and a sprinkling of first choice players.

The attendance was because of there being a week in which to organise the trip to London on a Sunday for a game that was always going to be televised.

Not sure to be totally honest!
I think this competition has become little more than a PR exercise into Cockers boots of which I'm afraid they have proved just not big enough to fill those boots as yet.
Had they been a bit bolder and gone and won it or lost it with bottle then fair play!

Does winning this give Tigers an automatic entry into the European Cup, 'cos they might not finish inn the top 6?

No, there is no European qualification with this trophy.

Sadly, whilst Mr Cockerill was a Tigers legend he proved incapable of getting the best out of this squad. Geordie deserves the credit for this win. Well done to all the team, a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.
