Round 22 is important to us too - Cockerill

Figure image
A Guinness Premiership semi-final spot is already guaranteed but head coach Richard Cockerill says "there is everything still to play for" as Leicester Tigers prepare to host Saracens this Saturday.

Tigers are secure in top spot in the table – with a home semi-final to come – but Cockerill says there will be no let-up in intensity from his players.

“We want to win every game we play,” he said. “Saracens are a good team and they’ve had some really good results in the last few weeks. But we have to continue where we left off in previous games.

“Saracens could still finish second and get a home draw, but we’ve got everything to play for too because we want to go into the semi-finals on a good run and with some confidence.”

Bath Rugby, London Irish and London Wasps are fighting it out to join Tigers, Saracens and Northampton Saints in the last four, with all of Saturday’s Round 22 fixtures kicking-off simultaneously at 3pm.
