Looking forward to it

I'll f*cking bet! Can't imagine Bath supporter've been keener on a Leicester game since the year Ford/Eastmond put 40 points on us twice.

Fuck knows what's going to happen.
It could be an absolutely dire game of rugby with a 5 second highlight's reel, and that at a stretch; or it could easily be the match of the round.

Leicester aren't going anywhere in the table, so if they just throw it around and have some fun; they could be really dangerous.
Bath will want a point, any point; even a LBP makes it far more likely that we'll get European rugby next year; so we'll be going balls out for 4 tries; possibly whilst forgetting about defending - which could be... fun

Only one winner for me - and looking at Bath's three quarters, by a country mile

Late to the party, but finally got the VPN to actually switch on!

[Banquo]

surprising lead for Tigers?

[Which Tyler]

If there's a team out there who-re better than Bath at shooting themselves in the foot, I want to know who's matches I should be avoiding.

Of course, it's entirely possible that that team is Leicester (dull from SAR there)

[Which Tyler]

I think blommetjes lost that before the line, but it's so close

[Which Tyler]

This may have lacked slick skills, cool heads, any sort of tactics or competence, but...

It's not lacked from drama or passion

[Banquo]

how were JJ and Watson?

[Tigersman]

Decent on the whole would be how I would sum them.


Sums up Tigers problem, tried but just not good enough.

Prediction spot on!!

Well done Bath who were 11 pts behind at h/t. They make the top 6 and qualify for the Champions Cup. For a squad as good as they have, that really shouldn't be an unreasonable expectation.
Tigers finish 11th. Plenty of soul searching required, along with a fairly radical overhaul I would imagine.

well....half right

[Puja]

Yep. Surrendering an 11 point lead is exactly how this season deserved to end. Good work everyone!
