Re: Tigers v Leinster
A one off game at Welford Road, don't write us off, but massive underdogs.
What's Leinster's fixture list between now and then?
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Re: Tigers v Leinster
Jeez fellas, have some belief (or hope ) don't write the guys off just like that.
Yes, Leinster (very) good, but lament a loss IF it happens not weeks in advance. Do you think our players/coaches will be going in saying, this time next year? No way.

Doesn’t really matter, with no internationals between now and then their soul focus will be on that weekendTigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Sat Apr 16, 2022 7:51 pmA one off game at Welford Road, don't write us off, but massive underdogs.

Re: Tigers v Leinster
Away to Sharks 23rd, away to Stormers 30th. Sure they can do the old trick of rest all their 'stars' for Europe.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Sat Apr 16, 2022 7:51 pmA one off game at Welford Road, don't write us off, but massive underdogs.

Re: Tigers v Leinster
This is the scenario we used to hate. Our players tired, some injuries, facing most of the Irish national team fully rested.
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Re: Tigers v Leinster
2 very good teams on the day could go either way, crowd will be huge, is it 10% of tickets we have to give Leinster. Hopefully a decent French official or our Georgian friend.

Re: Tigers v Leinster
That's not too bad. They may rest their stars but that may leave them a tad undercooked, plus away to two SA teams could mean of they go weak in those they could be coming into it on the back of some hammerings.WhitecapTiger wrote: ↑Sat Apr 16, 2022 7:54 pmAway to Sharks 23rd, away to Stormers 30th.

Re: Tigers v Leinster
Doesn't matter,the URC teams ,especially the Irish will just make 10 or 12 changes the game before so their team is fresh.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Sat Apr 16, 2022 7:51 pmA one off game at Welford Road, don't write us off, but massive underdogs.

Re: Tigers v Leinster
In the meantime we have 3 matches, so some of our possible rotation opportunities could be compromised by the midweek prem cup requirement - unless we simply just commit to only using Dual reg players, youngsters etc - which wouldn't be a shock to be fair.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Sat Apr 16, 2022 7:57 pmThat's not too bad.

Full pelt Vs quins (secure top 2 with a win?) and take a chance of resting some Vs Bristol? Which may also leave some of our guys undercooked. I think Leinster will be able to rotate 50/50 in their 2 matches or play full strength one week (first or second) and rest majority of the euro starters for at least one week.

The odd red card going our way will be needed to beat Ireland.

Re: Tigers v Leinster
Not sure if I’m being stupid, or it’s not yet confirmed, but do we have a date for the QF?

Re: Tigers v Leinster
Pretty sure it's the weekend of the 7th/8th, think someone said that LCFC are home on the 8th, so 7th most likely, but could be the Friday evening game?
