Post by: DOK on Sunday 16-Dec-2018, 23:01*
Tigers now have just six days to lick their wounds before they tackle Harlequins in the Gallagher Premiership at Welford Road on Saturday (https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/leicester-tigers-run-defeats-extended-2333878)

Goodness they are going to be up for the game against us next week.  I'm afraid for the backlash.  But I guess they'll be under more pressure to perform at home than we will...

And the chances of them getting a result next weekend, based on our away form?

Youd think pretty high, they are going to be well up for it

I expect a fast start from Tigers, but I would also expect a fast start from us.  Score early and put the pressure on.  Any chance of early points take them (pens, esp with our LO) and that includes drop goals (Care is more than capable close up).  Bit of scoreboard pressure.  Johnny Wilkinson was always good at that, early on, first attack, come away with something.

I’m beyond hopeful we tame the tigers this weekend. They have an excellent scrum so on their day can do damage but am hopeful we can take the dub!
