Tigers coach: Let's control our destiny

Leicester coach Pat Howard has stressed the need for his Tigers side to preserve their place in the Guinness Premiership’s top four as defeat against London Irish tomorrow could suck them to mid-table.

Howard’s side are in danger of dropping out of the play-off positions for the first time this season and an Exiles victory, combined with other Premiership results over the weekend, could leave them as low as sixth.
