THE PREDICTION

Leicester Tigers’ season has been petering out miserably despite the coaching change on the resumption of play. Steve Borthwick has been unable to spark a reaction and they come off a particularly poor 40-3 mauling at the hands of Bristol. They come into their final game of the season hoping for a consolation victory against Harlequins. This will be the farewell appearance for Quins’ skipper Chris Robshaw and his team will be motivated send him off with a win in what will be his 300th appearance for the club too. That may just be what they need to motivate them and could be the decisive factor and they have at least shown more fight than this miserable Tigers team. Marginal preference goes to Harlequins but this match is best left alone.
