No glory for sad Tigers

Is there any glory in defeat for the Tigers? Stuart Barnes asks that very question in the Sunday Times.

"On the right side of a tight one at Twickenham last Saturday this time around the rugby gods or whoever decides the fates that hang in the balance of Heineken Cup finals turned their backs on the English.

No, defeat was anything but glorious. Glorious defeat is for losers and although the Tigers were on the wrong side of this match the reason they made it through the ever-tightening tension of the quarter-final with Bath and that unbearable shootout in Cardiff is because the club are winners."
