Supporting Bath because of Finn and Spencer who I rate as a half back pairing. I also think JvG is a class act and think his stock is shot up after leaving Munster.

I objectively think it would be funny for Bath to lose.
They do deserve to win the Prem after a great season. But it would be HILARIOUS if they bottled it

It's called doing a Leinster. (Bottling in the quarters is called an Ireland.)
FWIW, Bath could very well lose, Leicester are a good team with recent experience of winning the Prem final, and between Cheika and their retirees will absolutely be up for this.
But I don't think this Bath team are chokers.
We've already don't it in Cardiff, and whilst we lost last year, it wasn't even close to a choke.

This is Bath's to lose. No way they can lose. They just have to turn up. Don't even need to bother playing. In the bag so to speak. Might as well celebrate the night before.

As a Saints fan, I'm hoping for a way that they can both lose!
They've picked Karl Dickson as the ref, what more do you want?

Got to say Bath should breeze this I feel
It's a final,
Scoreboard starts at 0-0, and both are perfectly capable of beating the other.
I'd be surprised if either wins by more than a score - which means it comes down to the bounce of a ball, a hamstring, an HIA, an obstructed view for the ref/cameras...
Play this match 10 times, and Bath probably win 5-6

Yeah don't feel too down Tigs, this will go to the ******* wire, your lot won't go down without a proper fight. But you know that anyway.
+ Will Stuart (They've allowed Reid from the bench then to start now, so surely Stuart doing the opposite is worthy)
Bath's bench is frightening. Feels like that will be the difference.

Agreed.
I can’t stand Cheika so I really don’t want to see him win a title here, but I have a feeling Tigers might grind out an ugly win.
So much more nervous about this than I was last year.
Last year, Northampton were clearly the better team over the course of the year, so we felt like underdogs.
This year, Bath are clearly the better team over the course of the year, so we feel like favourites - even though I don't think that label applies in a 1-off match, and a best-of team would probably be 6v6, with 3 coin tosses

Bad news for Bath fans, Dickson turned up to HQ in this:
