I feel we have too many missing and I don't think we've really clicked fully.

Not to say we can't win but I'd say it's 30/70.

Somehow need to win as the Sale v Bristol result shows that apart from Newcastle any team can pull off a win anywhere.
Form team and looking very good is Saints but Lawes isn’t playing tomorrow!
One thing is certain we need to keep the starting fifteen v Sarries on for as long as possible: the worry for us will be the line out as Sarries starters and replacements can all make a mess of things! Then there’s Farrel and Earl back for them.
We will need everyone of the 23 to have their best games yet!
I hope we all get behind the Tigers tomorrow from the first minute.

One of my kids birthdays tommorow. Got family commitments

Do I a) keep track and occasionally check the scores

b) go for a online blackout and plan to watch later?

Unfortunately some of our performances to date mean every game is basically must win. Looking at the teams and home advantage I make us favourites for this. It’s this kind of game that can give us a better gauge of how the current coaching set up is doing - over to you boys.

Genuinely never going to have a better chance to beat Sarries- they've still some world class players but that's as weak as they're ever likely to put out. Get it done boys.

That would have bankrupted me with the amount of family we have round....

Trying to remember a more tough run of games than what we're about to face...

Sarries (champs)
La Rochelle (Euro champs)
Leinster (Euro runners up)

1 win from 3 is probably a realistic outlook. Anything more is a massive bonus.

Maybe an obvious thing to say, but whether we win or not, for me, depends on which team turns up, ie which mentality - the one vs Bath or the one vs Exeter. If we are up for this game the way we should be, I think we have a good chance.

I'd go for (a) via the web, and if a win you can have a most enjoyable watch later! Personally - and I appreciate others are different - I don't watch later if a loss...

I predict if we win today we'll make the playoffs and perhaps win the title.

Agreed, I only watch the recording if we win, and most enjoyable it is!! :smt002
I will be watching Mkt Harb play Wellingborough today (2.15), but should see the second half from Welford Rd on the TV in the clubhouse. I will then enjoy watching the whole game back later.........hopefully!!!
