Best way to win is to score more points than the opposition so every chance for points must be taken better a certain 3 than a possible 7 go for touch only when two scores in front or the opposition are down to 13 men.

Will be a great challenge with little pressure as we are expected to lose.

We have to start well.

We have to start well.

…and keep 15 on the pitch!

I make it 9 of the IRE starting line up who narrowly lost to the All Blacks starting today.

So, let's be frank, there is only one result happening.

Whilst this is undoubtedly true, it'll be a, packed house down at WR, there's beer on sale, it's about ten degrees warmer than it's been all week... I'm looking forward to getting down to the ground with some mates and cheering the Tigers on.

Who knows, the plucky underdogs might just pull a surprise off!

Damn right. It’s going to be noisy, it’s going to be raucous. It’s going to involve beer. It’s going to be a great day.

And perhaps……..


COYT!!!

Love it! Just love it!

Baltic wind blowing in. 5 layer day on the Crumbie Terrace

Sorry to be facetious but "if we keep hold of the ball", has no one told you we just kick the ball back to our opponents, whats with this keeping the ball

Keeping hold of the ball...what a good idea...maybe it'll catch on

More likely knocked on....

Although, if you keep hold of the ball in your own half, the other team are more likely to score than you are.

Tigers at home is a big advantage. We’ve been poor away from home but we look a different team at MWWR of late.

And we’ll need to be compared with last week.

Leinster are fully loaded and unless we’re at 110% today we’ll be nowhere near them.

Our set piece will be solid as usual, so I’m just hopeful that once we’ve done all the dog work up front to create opportunities, we’re able to convert it to points without all of the unforced handling errors. Simply put, our red zone efficiency needs to be wayyyyyy better.


As other have posted, I’ll be in the stands watching with a beer cheering the boys on and hoping for an entertaining match (and a tigers win of course )

[MCC1964]

Well, I’m just heading off now to the match with more hope than expectation. But you never know. It’ll be fun whatever.

[Tigers86asw]

Feels like a big day for McKellar. Too coaches always judged by how they do against the best.

[Tiglon]

Leinster strong favourites, but... you never know. Big performances needed.

Martin will be missed.

Big opportunity for Heyes to make a statement - these are the matches where you need to show what you can do.

Is there time to get the Quin's "spawney stick" up to us before kick off. A few of our lads could do with a tap like Linagh has clearly had this morning.
