Almost cannot believe how the game went yesterday - Tigers 14 points ahead until 6 minutes before end of game where Cardiff scored two similar tries in two minutes. A draw at full time, and no scores in extra time meant PENALTIES. In rugby. First for the Heineken Cup apparently, first time in 25 years in the sport.
Johne Murphy missed on on the first five, but then James missed for Cardiff and it went to sudden death - then thank god, and thank my lucky socks, which I will not be washing before next weeks Premiership Semi Final - Martin Williams missed, and Jordan Crane formerly of the West Brom football academy slotted his penalty home.
Meanwhile, back in the stands, Rachel and I endured all of this nursing only a cup of tea to calm our frayed nerves. There was so much bouncing around that most of mine ended up on the bloke in front but he didn't seem to mind.
Good day for Leicester, more sporting success for our city and the best team won on the day - bad day for Cardiff whose football team also lost, and failed to make the Championship play offs.
Yes, there was something special about singing 'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot' and being sober enough to see and hear the Cardiff fans reaction. Satisfying to say the least.
