Clermont vs Tigers

by nathan Sat 05 Apr 2014, 3:24 pm

First topic message reminder :

Well, nearly time for kick off. My prediction is 20 - 18 to Clermont. As much as my heart wants us to win, my head is saying it will be number 75 home win for Clermont.

Whats anyones elses predictions?

by Gibson Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:36 pm

If they dont... Tigers will have had a little victory to build on. Huge 10 mins.

by nathan Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:37 pm

poor kick from youngs too

by quinsforever Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:37 pm

how was that naughty? perfectly timed, legal hit

by nathan Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:40 pm

i fear we'll give away a pen at the scrum and make the gap to big to claw back.

by nathan Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:42 pm

we need to playing in their 22, not our own eeeeeeeek

we'll need some luck to win this from now.

Really impressed with Tigers here. Using all their HC nous to stay in it. Love the Heino.

by Nachos Jones Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:45 pm

ASM seem open to a chip behind the defence, there is a lot of room there...

by ChequeredJersey Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:45 pm

Shades of last year...

by nathan Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:46 pm

ahhhhh, ASM arnt releasing after tackling!!

by nathan Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:47 pm

hmmm, Flood hasn't been playing well. I havent any hope left

by quinsforever Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:48 pm

Hines still a great player. Sale must be pleased.

by ChequeredJersey Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:48 pm

Kennedy looked like a great player last year Sad

by Gibson Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:49 pm

Tigers must strike. A try would kill ASM now.

He is, for someone so big he knows how to get away with all the crafty little things - exactly the sort of player you want.

by Nachos Jones Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:49 pm

Very lucky for Tigers there, same feed at the scrum.

by ME-109 Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:49 pm

Rolland keeping them in it.

by ME-109 Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:51 pm

This is it Tigers, now or never...

by stub Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:51 pm

Come on Tigers

Last Chance Cafe...

by GLove39 Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:51 pm

Farcical at the scrum from Rolland there

by stub Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:52 pm

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

by Nachos Jones Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:52 pm

Now that was close, bad luck Tigers but you sure made ASM sweat some bullets.

by nathan Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:52 pm

why isnt time off?

by **George Carlin** Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:53 pm

Damnit - unlucky Tigers. Can be very proud of the performance today.

by Feckless Rogue Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:53 pm

Aw hard luck. Best team probably won.

by nathan Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:53 pm

well done Clermont, better team today.

by ME-109 Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:54 pm

Unlucky Leicester...Clermont kept their nerve for once..

by Pot Hale Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:54 pm

Dreadful time wasting by Clermont.

Unfortunate for Leicester. Hard luck Tigers.

by stub Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:54 pm

Ah well - Tigers can hold their heads up. Well played Clermont - 75 home wins!!*

*Undefeated for 75

by quinsforever Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:54 pm

single greatest difference in that match was the effectiveness of one sides rolling maul vs the ineffectiveness of the others.

by nathan Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:54 pm

at the beginning of the match, i though oh dear Scully on the wing but i was pretty impressed by him.

by Gibson Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:55 pm

Huge call. Hard luck Tigers.

by GLove39 Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:55 pm

Fair play Tigers, very courageous at the end.
75 and still not out at home for Clermont!

by LeinsterFan4life Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:55 pm

Surely the tackler never released?

by ChequeredJersey Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:55 pm

... ME, Clermont have kept their nerve for 75 straight home games, as I said they weren't going to choke

by Nachos Jones Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:56 pm

Tigers fans can be dead proud, that was some effort but ASM just had that bit more.

by Feckless Rogue Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:56 pm

Clermont have given so much to the HC over the years. Might be appropriate if they finally won it in its last year.

They've were doing it all game, you may of read me mention it! lol

by LeinsterFan4life Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:57 pm

Clermont have lost at home!!! The 2012 semi final. They are 75 games unbeaten at the SMM.

by ME-109 Sat 05 Apr 2014, 5:58 pm

True...if that was on neutral ground I feel Leicester would have snuck it.

"Home" and home are completely different. As different as beating Sarries at Wembley or at AP. That's why you shouldn't sell out and move home games to a bigger stadium

by ME-109 Sat 05 Apr 2014, 6:01 pm

The Semi has to be played on a "neutral" ground in the home country though.

by LeinsterFan4life Sat 05 Apr 2014, 6:04 pm

It is still a home game. Everytime Leinster lose at the Aviva it counts as a home defeat.

by Manu's Boxing Coach Sat 05 Apr 2014, 6:05 pm

Bloody hell that was close. That pen could have gone either way at the end did Para release? But Slater was isolated. In the game our defence of the rolling maul and a lack of depth in the front row let us down. But what's really been the downfall of our HC's in recent years is our group stage form. 2 valiant QF defeats in France in a row now, and both results could have gone another way if at WR.
