Ulster-1.5

Massive game, almost a winner takes all so i fancy Ulster in front of their own support.

Leicester obviously have experience on their side but this season is not going well for the english champions. Big names not playing to top form, injuries, and rumours of some problems in the dressing room. Ofcourse we know the one thing we will get from the Tigers is 100 per cent effort but this looks a tricky tie.

Ulster are playing very well in the domestic competition and having picked up some vital points in this group have a great chance of going through. I like the speed they have out wide- its maybe not the best side for scoring points but when chances come along they do take them. Their forwards and set plays have also been much better this season and thats absolutely vital at the very top level.

It is going to be a scrap and sure to be a low scoring game given the importance. But i take the ulstermen to grab a famous victory just as they did 8 years ago. You cannot underestimate how important it is to have the fans on your side in these HC ties and for that reason i got a home win by at least a couple of points.
