Might be a hot take but IMO if Wigglesworth was playing for Saracens today the game might have flipped the other way
What a result!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So happy for Freddie

Hopefully not the last with my old man but at 86 who knows. We were dancing around in the living room when Freddie dropped that goalTiltonTiger wrote: ↑Sat Jun 18, 2022 6:50 pm Wow. So emotional for me. The last game my father and I went to was when we lost to sarries in the final.
What a game. What a team. What a club.

He and Montoya played out their skin at the breakdown. Absolute menaces the pair of them. Barnes wasn't giving holding on pens easy either, you had to actually go and turn the ball over, bring it back to your side. They were both superb.
Chessum's impact was huge, looked a bit dead on his feet for the last 10 mins but given the massive shift he put in before that it's understandable.
So many big performances today. In Borthwick we trust.

They've got to have a new contract tied up for him, surely? The look on his face at the end was a picture and one of pure joy. Would he want to give up the chance of more days like this and play in front of three men and eight sheep in the URC?!

Don't think I have ever contributed on here before despite my first match at Welford Road being 1970 Baabaas game (!) and was a member (Crumbie terrace) for 28 years (until Covid struck!!) but thanks for all the wonderful comments on here keeping me up to date, especially all the games not on BT Sport. Some great comments on the wonderful victory today. New dawn for Tigers - roll on next season - back to the Crumbie for me!!

Chuffed for Burns.
Harshly treated by many for his brain farts when he was with us previously. Perhaps a result of trying too hard to make something out of nothing in a poor Tigers side at a time when many were deluded that we were the great side of old.
Today, and many other times this season, when he has played fly half he has conjured a little magic and didn’t shy away from the drop goal. (Imagine If Flood was playing!)
The whole side put in a shift deserving of being champions today and all season.
The other Freddy showed why he is England’s full back.
Hanro immense and Jasper’s controlled power showed when it mattered.
The last couple of games our scrum has been neutralised by the refs, yet we coped and still came out as worthy winners.

I agree, it was always possible today that Davies, given the rest of their side, was going to be a weaker link and for me that showed.RagingBull wrote: ↑Sat Jun 18, 2022 7:03 pm Might be a hot take but IMO if Wigglesworth was playing for Saracens today the game might have flipped the other way

I loved this game and if it were not for medical reasons would have been there with many bells on. Don't forget we were without two of our most influential players in mvs and Kelly and sarries have a number past their best although fair dues, Billy V played very well. Hopefully we can get sir kev to sign far beyond the next world Cup after a few shandies

Terrific. Delighted that Ellis and George can leave as champions, absolutely delighted for Freddie. Enormous credit to all the players, coaches and back room staff who make this the greatest club in English rugby.Long may it continue. Choking back tears seeing Tom on the pitch and lifting the trophy. What an emotional couple of weeks.
I'm not cynical just experienced

Unbelievable. Made up. The hurt of Montpellier last time we were here is well and truly healed!! A thought for Kelly and Dolly; both made huge contributions and would have (arguably) been in that 23. A true squad effort. Off to Toddington Services!!
