Not Long To Wait , But Who Would You Prefer In The Challenge Cup Final ?
Personally , Bath ....
Seemingly heading rapidly toward senility .....Not long or far to go now , in fact, getting worse daily.....

Montpellier, just in case we lost. Easier to take

Either, as long as Tigers fans snap up all 10000 tickets today to make it a home tie!

Montpellier.
They are 12th in the Top 14 and French sides are occasionally prone to not travelling well. Bath could likely have Cipriani or Priestland available for the final and will be a much tougher match imho. If we play like we did in the second half though if fancy our chances against either.
Might have Montoya back by then too.. need to keep the bulk of yesterday’s players fit though.

Don't envy Borths if Montoya is fit. How the heck do you drop Clare?! There's gonna be some tough decisions to be made all round

I think Clare has climbed above Youngs now, just depends on how fit Montoyer will be come the final.
Re: Not Long To Wait , But Who Would You Prefer In The Challenge Cup Final ?
Clare came on looking very confident and delivered. He has really developed. Heyes tried to carry like Genge too. Not as successfully but it kept Ulster on the back foot and the ruck delivery speeded up well. Young’s and Cole are great players but the pace of the game did seem to be a bit above theirs in the first half. Need to keep their input though.

Montpellier for me playing in Europe is special because it's against teams we wouldn't normally play.

On Youngs and Cole I do reckon Heyes will be considered the starter more next season. But how lucky are we to potentially have players with 211+ tigers caps and 257+ tigers caps as depth.

If Montpellier were in the final, that would be to our advantage in terms of fans as apart from neutrals and maybe some expats the majority of the 10,000 would be Tigers supporters. I also agree with RB, having Montpellier in the final would have more of a European feel to the fixture.
They might be 12th, but I think they have hit some form lately and by no means we should underestimate them.
