Who’ll Win on Saturday ? – What The Experts Are Saying.
“If it was down to the will to win, Munster would never be beaten.” says David Humphreys. We highlight the views of others ahead of Saturday’s Heineken Cup final
“I’ll go with Leicester to win, but there’ll be little to choose between the two sides.”
Warren Gatland.
“I come down in favour of Leicester, mainly because of their proven ability to endure under pressure.”
Lawrence Dallaglio.
“Justice demands that people like Peter Clohessy and Mick Galwey get the right send-off, but life just ain’t like that. Leicester have the winning habit and they like it.”
Jeremy Guscott.
Once they’re in touch with twenty minutes left, you’d have to fancy Munster.
Gregor Townsend.
“Leicester are one of the best sides in the world. They’ll use every bloody trick in the book they can think of and Munster are about the only side who can stand up to all the physicality and **** that they pile on.”
Alan Gaffney.
“Leicester on paper, but if Munster can soak up the pressure early on, I’d have to back them.”
Conor O’Shea.
“Leicester must go in as favourites with the long-term domination of the English Premiership. However, Munster are a very hard team to play against. I think it’s about who plays better on the day, because if it was down to the will to win, Munster would never be beaten.”
“Leicester won’t live with Munster muscle.”
