" | | Pat Howard, Tigers Head Coach |
Leicester fought back resolutely from 18-19 down, as half-time substitute Andy Goode inspired a revival that put the Tigers one point ahead before O'Gara struck. Pat Howard says that although the Tigers missed some opportunities against Munster, he's not afraid of tough competition: "It was a very close contest, and we probably had a couple more chances than Munster did, but they took their try-scoring opportunities. That's life. It put some good pressure on us - it's going to be a great test of what sort of metal we've got and we've got to come out of the pool. I like the challenge." |
