Paris, May 2001. Austin Healey's incisive break, Leon Lloyd's immaculate finish and Tim Stimpson's accurate kicking confirmed the Tigers as the best in Europe.

It has taken a long time to erase the memory of Brive in Cardiff, but Dean Richards has at last got the Tigers playing the kind of rugby that excites. Who would have thought that under a man best known for sticking the ball up his jumper and attempting to drive mauls the length of the pitch, Leicester would play the kind of expansive rugby that is the envy of Europe.

Talents such as Geordan Murphy obviously help. Murphy is one of the most talented sportsmen I have ever seen and would recommend coming to see Leicester just to see what this man can do.

With bars aplenty and great players on display Welford Road is well worth a visit.
