Tigers v Leinster (H) - Saturday 07th May 2022 - 5-30pm KO
Not wishing to count chickens but when was the last time Tigers hosted Leinster at Welford Road? Or indeed last played them?
Re: Tigers v Leinster
I think it might have been 2011.

Obviously it isn't confirmed and obviously those wouldn't be the exact sides. There'd be about as much quality as you could hope to see in a QF though. Those are the sort matchups you expect to see in a final. International class all over the pitch.

There was a small matter of a final in Edinburgh in the Heineken Cup, last euro game I went to.

Re: Tigers v Leinster
It’s only half time in all matches. Tigers let in an early try or two then who knows what will happen.Wigglesworth too gave a great interview this week about taking nothing more for granted!
I hope we do play Leinster but the priority is Clermont then a massive game v Quins.

Re: Tigers v Leinster
That’s the issue: clubs playing national development squads. The salary cap may skew the balance between the English and French clubs but the Irish provinces are effectively now vehicles for the national squads supplemented by a selection of foreign players to give quality games so our chances are slim.
Re: Tigers v Leinster
Exactly …isn’t Wales technically the same ? …however still a big hurdle to overcome this weekend…but disagree about our slim chances …believe

Re: Tigers v Leinster
You would think that given the IRFU has some degree of control over this they would try and spread the talent around the other provinces.mol2 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 10:51 pm That’s the issue: clubs playing national development squads.

Re: Tigers v Leinster
There’s an outside chance that Tigers may be playing Connacht in the QF! I don’t know what the odds are in a Connacht win, but I put a fiver on Noble Yeats to win the National and he won at 50/1!! ALLEZ Connacht!!!

Re: Tigers v Leinster
Good odds, although I won’t be placing a bet as my annual flutter is on the National. Leinster v Connacht kicks off this evening at 5:30, so I’ll be keeping a close eye on the score!wigworth wrote: ↑Fri Apr 15, 2022 9:08 amCurrently they are 11:1 to win or you can get +22 even money.Robespierre wrote: ↑Fri Apr 15, 2022 9:05 am There’s an outside chance that Tigers may be playing Connacht in the QF!
