This is a really poor advert for the English game, no matter how the BT guys try to big it up.

At least it's marginally less eye bleeding than the last Lions tour.

Please not another 30 of this.

Leicester should have had this won but unfortunately don’t deserve it with such negative play

How much average kicking do you want in a game?

Unfortunately, both teams coaches have concluded that under the current laws, it's far riskier to carry the ball up into contact than it is to kick and chase.

Billy Vunipola was the MoM by miles. The next 5/6 best were all Leicester though.

Yep. I think the best bit of open play I've seen from tigers this was against Bristol needing a try. It reminded how good ford can be as a playmaking ten and that Tigers backs can play and not just kick.

Leicester kick and chase because they are good at it. Ford is very accurate and they have good catchers.

Sarries kick too much because Farrell is a sh*te running FH.

Interesting how Burns set up for the drop goal on the right side of the pitch. It seemed they wanted an angle for the kick but I would have thought that it would have been easier for him on the left side.

Just back from my 1st Premiership final. Wasn't the greatest of games but fantastic atmosphere and a thrilling finish.

I wasn't too sure who to suppport but decided, on the walk to the ground, that we'd go with Leicester - and by the finish you'd have thought I was a lifelong supporter. Thought Leicester were dead and buried when they got a man sin binned with 5 to go - and Saracens were already looking the most dangerous side.

Anyway, we really enjoyed it despite all the aimless kicking.

I was in the East Lower stand with a lot of Leicester fans, the atmosphere there was good, in fact pretty much the only noise I heard during the game was from the Tigers fans.

If either team had a scrum half worth the shirt they'd have run away with it.

There were audible groans when Youngs humped away another box kick towards the end, and there were several occasions where Saracens had a massive overlap and completely ignored it to cut inside or pop pass to a trundling forward.

It was, live, a compelling game, but absolute shit on a stick as far as a spectacle went.
