Saracens vs Tigers, Premiership Final, who takes it....
Discussion
Here we go again, two monstrous sides both with something to prove, Saracens beat Tigers recently and Tigers pipped Sarries to the title last season.
I really hope Sarries can do it this time, but to do that they will need to beat the Tigers at their all out best. Tigers will not be giving this up without a massive fight and unfortunately a part of me cant help feeling like it'll be the Tigers day, they always manage to find that something extra on the bigger occassions.
Im keeping the faith though, Sarries scrum has been a powerhouse in recent games, they have most of their players fit, and Farrel has been looking more and more confident as the seasons gone on (though such a big occassion will be a serious test of nerve).
Cant wait for this one, whatever the result it'll be a great finish to the Premiership.
Anyone else going to be watching this one?

I shall be sitting next to Jinx at Twickenham. I was there last year and it always helps when you can have a whinge about the officials taking the win from you ( like the try in the world cup final). Unfortunately Sarries have no one to blame but them selves. If they had actually played for the whole 80 mins they would have won it. A hard lesson to learn but one I hope they heed this year. SARRIES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yup, they certainly dropped the ball (literally) at the last gasp, and Leicester didnt need a second invitation, but it's a lesson that's hard learned and I bet a lot of players had a lot of regret to deal with, so hopefully no more of the same.
PS: Cueto's foot was out!! so no complaints against the officials, all the replays showed his foot in touch, and Danie Roussow earned himself a mandatory Springbok selection ever since, even though for a man his size he's nowhere near as destructive as he should be.

Watched it, monster defence from the Sarries.
36 phases for the Tigers at the end! Cant understand when they were 1 yard from the line though and the forwards werent getting that final yard they didnt spin it to AT on the crash, be had been breaching the line all game.
Although a Tigers fan, good for the game I think for Sarries to get that final win. Sarries and Leicester to give the HC a real crack next season I think.

Great day, Great result and as expected A great game from the tigers. Those 36 phases were the longest 5mins of my life. I know two high quality teams are going to take it to the last second but once, just once, I would like to see Saracens put a game to bed a little earlier than that. I honestly believe that were it not for the alcohol in my system, thinning my blood, I would have had a stroke yesterday. Well fought Tigers and COME ON YOU SARRIES!!!!
