Drummed out of the Heineken Cup by Munster last weekend – the repercussions included a sharp public response by club officials to the selling on of tickets by so-called “supporters” – they now find themselves looking for a first Premiership win since February. This is by no means a dead game for Bath – their play-off chances may not be great, but the three-way fight with Wasps and Exeter for the last European qualifying place is very much alive – so today’s contest has a whiff of sulphur about it. Leicester v Wasps Tomorrow, 3.45pm Leicester threw the kitchen sink at Toulon in last weekend’s Heineken Cup quarter-final and would, if they were remotely normal, be out on their feet. Much-changed from last weekend’s European victory over Ulster, they still look far too powerful for Worcester – not least because the grand Namibian flanker Jacques Burger is back in the starting line-up after 16 months of injury hassle.
