No restrictions re QF for capacity, up to Tigers if they want a Friday night QF v Saturday one.
Thanks have provisionally booked for Sat night, will hold off on flights, don’t want to tempt fate. A few years ago took in Leicester v Ulster on the Sat and our game v Wasps on the Sunday, been in Welford road many times couldn’t believe how much the City had changed, the Richard 111 experience was amazing, ( they found his remains in a car park, fascinating story ) his tomb in the Cathedral is made of Kilkenny marble and really interesting. Well worth a visit.

Montpellier being Montpellier, 13 changes to their starting team away at Harlequins, targeting the Top 14.

Leinster a star signing for next season, Jenkins, manages to make the bench for Munster tomorrow with the great Kleyn and Wicherly edging him out for starting places…

That flight was €15.99 last Sunday
That flight is cancelled though :wink:
No it isn’t. I booked it for €15.99 each way.
The return now costs €562.89 😎

M'eh - we often talk about players in Leinster with a pathway going down south and getting lost in the mire. I'd give it a chance and wait to see if it works in the opposite direction
I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role.
I've got nothing against your right leg.
The trouble is ... neither have you

Of course it will. I'm totally optimistic about it working well.

I may be mistaken but was Adamson not the ref who robbed Montpelier against Quins earlier this season?

That was some try.

Marcus Smith is some talent, not sure about being a brilliant 10 but some individual player.

Quins throw away their tie. Montpelier win by 1 point after Smith misses a very kickable conversion.

Quins threw away the game in the 8 minute period on the Montpellier line when they had 15 v 14 and a total of 11 penalties from Adamson. It was pathetic game management and Care & Smith did nothing sensible and deserved nothing better than the result they got.

It's very clear that Clermont's analysis of Leicester is that regardless of how physical they are, they don't cope well when the tempo goes up. The Clermont half-backs are playing very well, particularly their French U.20 scrum-half.

If this had started with 10-point defect, it would be a great contest but Leicester are too far ahead (23).

Tigers maul looks decent, their scrum less so.

Looks like Welford Rd is just above 3/4 full for this game, hopefully we can get decent support numbers there.

Anyone know what the single gold letter above the crest on Tigers' jerseys are? Each player has a different letter.
The odds are good but the goods are odd.

It harks back to the day when they used letters for positions rather than numbers.

Assume it'll in the next few days. Highly unlikely to be the Sunday as it would clash with a Leicester City home game. Hopefully it'll be played on the Saturday.
