Guy Porter's try-saving tackle on Skosan was phenomenal.

If that’s the best pass you’ve ever seen you’re either a Ford fan girl or not watched many games on rugby, that is the most routine pass ever, you expect your 10 at any level to make that pass with ease, clear overlap, defender marking the inside man, he could have looped the pass and he still would have scored 😂

Impressive win, Leicester. I feel bad for Skosan, though. He’s had such a career resurgence this season, only to choke on three walk-in tries in the biggest game of the season. His season shouldn’t be judged on that. Leicester forwards provided the platform, and Ford has put on a next level performance. Of the four semi-finalists, I rooted for the Quins, but now that they’re out, I want the Tigers to go and win the whole thing. Go Tigers, and give George Ford an unforgettable send-off.

Yep, you can see the ball bounce up at 4:56 after he grounds it.

[@XanderMohan]

When you jump onto your arms (providing there is no challenge from the opposition) u don't actually have to ground the ball properly. So I could have the ball wrapped in my arms and providing I jumped onto my arms and no opposition ran over to try and hold me up, I would get a try.

[@gajemoederpesten]

It’s definitely not just you, I was thinking the exact same thing.. And this happens quite often in games tbh, where players ‘ground’ the ball (usually in a same manner as Ford did here) without any clear sight of the ball touching the ground. Nine out of ten times the try will just get rewarded without any reviewing whatsoever.

The other excuse is maybe he was on the piss the night before, but I remember in SA he always used to bang on about God and Jesus and all that noise, so I doubt he's a big drinker.

[@Dougalicious91]

I disagree, I thought it was a very tense, very good game. Tigers' attack wasn't particularly firing for most of the first half, but that was as much down to Northampton's defence as Leicester's execution. Leicester did well to absorb all of the pressure thrown at them, then taking advantage of Northampton's fatigue to strike when they had the chances in the last fifteen minutes.
