AVIVA Premiership Final PreJudgement:

Twickenham, you couldn't ask for a better place to play a final. Today is the last day of the Aviva Premiership and a day of mixed emotions for two teams, Saracens and Leicester. One will walk away victorious and have great reward for months and months of grueling work with the top club prize in England, the other, well nothing!

 

 There is no doubting who I am supporting today and I would give many things for Sarries to take this down today. With their extremely mobile pack and the unmistakable danger that Schalk Brits brings to the table you would expect the game to be spread wide. Matt Stevens has also be in great form and has to be a contender for a recall to the English National Squad. whether that happens or not remains to be seen. Neil de Kock will start today and you would expect that to be very settling for the rest of the team as his experience is tight games is unquestionable.

You can't question this powerhouse that are the Tigers. They have an extremely well balanced and skillful team. They are captained today by New Zealander Craig Newby for the first time and what a stage to make your mark. Scott Hamilton, Toby Flood, Ben Youngs and Tom Croft are going to be the danger men today.

Today has match ups that definitely do justice to this epic battle. The half back pairings have two youngsters at 10 and I believe Owen Farrell is one of the best talents to come out of England since Jonny Wilkinson. He should have the beating of Toby Flood in my opinion. The Loose forward battle is going to be colossal, Croft, Newby and Crane for the Tigers versus Brown, Burger and Joubert (and Schalk Brits because we all know he is another loose forward) for Sarries, WOW!
I can't wait for this game and we are not in for a boring final, this one will have at least 3 tries in it.
