When Leicester Wasps came out early in the season and stated that they were aiming to win 3 trophies - The Guinness Premiership, EDF Energy Cup and The Heiniken Cup - setting the bar very high.  To many this seemed to be a mistake if not a touch arrogant, but now only the London Wasps stand between them acheiving their goal this Sunday when the two sides meet in the Heiniken Cup Final.

The historic treble will not be a walkover though although Leicester will start as favourites having tied up the Premiership with a comprehensive win over Gloucester last week.  Wasps themselves have not played for nearly 3 weeks and so will be well rested, but history shows that momentum plays a huge part in any sport, and particularly on big occasions like this. The momentum is definitely with the Tigers, as is confidence, which they have shown all season. 

One of the the Tigers’ main protagonists will be ex England captain Lawrence Dallaglio who will go head to head with another former Engand captain Martin Corry.  There is nothing Dallaglio would like more than to put one over on his former team mate and prevent him making history and lifting the cup come Sunday afternoon. 

Whatever happens, you can be sure it will be a tough contest and a great spectacle fought hard on the pitch and discussed at length in the bar afterwards.
