Leicester-5.5

Tigers are on top form at the moment so i dont see any problems taking the points in Wales.

Obviously Scarlets are on good form punching above their weight in this group, top place at this time is pretty good going. But it does have a lot to do with a kind run of fixtures- these last 2 are�clearly�are going to be the toughest.

The Welsh side will have a super support behind them for this game but it is very much must win if they are to have any chance of getting out the group.

Leicester dropped important points to the French side on day 4. It was a terrible result- if not performance- so really a win here is needed for the Tigers. Its fair to say in the last 2 months the Tigers have been on wonderful form. They look clear favs for the premiership and a very good bet for this years HC- if they can win this match obviously.

Scarlets are a wonderful attacking team when given space to play. In the Magners League they get it but against a top defensive team like Tigers they wont. The Leicester forwards are up there with the very best in europe and on the form of their lives.

I cant see any other result than an english win over wales here. Scarlets dont have the power or the set plays to trouble Leicester. I take Tigers to cover the start here and take control of what is a very tight group

Leicester -5.5 with sp at evens.
