Heineken Cup Final





So Boys, Wasps V Leicester !!
Leinsterfan - you are about as good as me with predictions!!
Chris, Confident are we??!!
Peter, what the **** are you on about??!!!

I must admit I was impressed by Leicester's passion / committment/ intensity. Goode even looked pumped up, and not by pies!!!
I still stick to my analysis of them however, and that applies to England, once the pack can not dominate, they falter as they just do not have the pace/ inventiveness/ creativity to play a fast ball game.
It should be a great final, especially as it pits two great mates against each other again!!
Corry V Dallaglio!!!
Just a little bit of edge here, and now especially as big Lawrence has been out of the spotlight for so long!! he will be desperate to put one over, put one on, give a bloody good kicking to his old 'mate'!!!
The clash of the backrows will not only be fasciniating, but it will be crucial. Wasps will need to play a fast, fluid, attacking game, whilst Leicester will once again want to control possession, the pace and territory to slowly strangle the life out of Wasps. And the breakdown is going to be crucial to that, absolutely crucial.
I will also be fascinited to see if McGeechan has the balls to stick with Cipriani, or whether he will fall back on the experience of King???!!
Whatever, it is not going to be a game for the weak!!!!

I can see interesting contests all over the pitch, if Castro is fit then the two front rows could be a battle royal. Second rows are pretty even. Back-row battle will be incredible, I don't see Dallaglio lasting the match though. Ellis probably has the edge but Goode blows hot and cold, I'd have Tigers ahead at center, And who gets to mark Tuillagi?
Perhaps Wasps should get you in for training, didn't you have some thoughts on how to stop Lomu?
