Leicester 9-25 Wasps

BBC SPORT | Rugby Union | Leicester 9-25 Wasps



Well look at that....I have to say that had an inevitability about it. Wasps truly are the liverpool of rugby. Leicester would have probably beaten any team in the world today...any team apart from Wasps that is. They just seem to know how to do it in finals (I expect a similar reversal on Wednesday).



More significantly it looks like the Heineken Cup has been saved after months of brinkmanship and sabre-rattling by the RFU and the clubs. Very good news for the game.

Heineken Cup future resolved

Well done Tigers

Although they didn't finish top of the table due to a points deduction for fielding an inelligible player (Premier League take note!) Leicester are champions...Hats off to them. They've suffered more than most from play-off woe over the years. There weren't too many of them moaning after Sale were rightly crowned champs last year.



I reckon those whiley Wasps will derail them in the Heineken Cup final next week though. In other news poor Harry Ellis will miss the world cup with his knee injury

(That might be lost on you if you don't liston to BBC Radio 5live.)

Well Everton did that annoying Everton thing AGAIN. A goal to the good at half time, not totally bossing the game but considering we were away from home we were doing well. Playing some nice stuff too. A second goal for us and an easy win looked like the most likely outcome but the second half rolled around and we went completely on the back foot. Okay we knew Villa were going to come at us...Charlton & West Ham's mini-revival meant they had to but why do we never react? Why, when defending a lead, do we never seem to impose ourselves this season?


1-1

Great performances from Lescott and Howard amongst others but another 2 points dropped in a maddeningly familiar fashion.



Great to see Lescott get his first goal...he's been truly immense this season...He's my player of the year so far (sorry AJ).

Over the weekend we had fantastic results in the Heineken cup for Northampton and Leicester.




Northamton in particular deserve a tonne of credit for raising their game to win down in San Sebastian. Hope they can pull it round and avoid relegation.

It is truly sickening that the French and English clubs are willing to let this fantastic competition die just out of petulant greed.



That'd be a great, great final.

I found this whilst doing a Google image search...happy, happy days :



No idea who's done it but my hat is doffed. Although it's slightly inaccurate in that there are some fans left in the away fans section. ;) :) :P
