A great tussle in the snow at Welford Road last night.
Well done Tigers. Great defence and determination carried the day.

Jeez, my son and I watched the snowy shit last night, makes one glad again to be in South Africa!
2 @ grootblousmile:
But you got to admit, it takes a different type of person to play in those conditions.
The game at Biarritz on Friday night also looked like the ’95 RWC semi-final in Deben.
Thanks for putting this one up Gbs, was wanting to put up and article like this last night but for some reason I couldn’t get onto the site, which is weird as looking at it this morning it looks like you put up another article on site around the time that I would have been trying to get in, the cyber world can be a mystery to me
The semi-final draw has also been done:
Semi-final 1: Saracens or Ulster Rugby v Toulon or Leicester Tigers
Semi-final 2: ASM Clermont Auvergne or Montpellier v Harlequins or Munster Rugby
Peter Horne’s match winning try for Glasgow against Northampton on Saturday:
Bully, the site was down last night, I reckon, I tried as well. Yeah, watched that game at Welford road – bit like that here today! Good game, considering the conditions!
