Let's dive right into this clash of the Titans, the Leicester Tigers versus the Sale Sharks, oh dear what an aquatic mess it's going to be. Tighten your seatbelts, folks, it's going to be a rough ride. No, not because these pundits here get motion sickness, but because these two teams love to play clean, hard rugby.
Looking back at their past engagements, these two teams have gone back and forth more than a ping pong match. While the Sharks may have had the Tigers' number a couple of times, let's not forget the last time these two met, the Tigers came out on top with a flaming victory.
Now, some of you might be thinking about betting on the Sharks. I mean, they've had a decent run recently, collecting a pretty little pile of wins. However, keep in mind their recent defeat against the Tigers. On the other hand, the Tigers seem to have been practicing their roar with a decent line of victories.
Touching upon their respective positions in the standings, the Tigers are just one whisker above the Sharks. However, in terms of playoff records, the scales definitely seem to be tipping more towards our feline friends.
Now, I know what you're thinking. This is going to be a close match. Well, get out of here with that logic (just joking, your meal's on me). Either way, I'm leaning towards the Tigers. I like their stripes, I like their growl, and I definitely see them clawing out a win here.
