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!

surprising lead for Tigers?

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)

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

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

It's not lacked from drama or passion

how were JJ and Watson?

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

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