In what could be Leicester Tigers biggest game of the season so far, it is fair to say that it will be the battle of the tens which will interest the rugby world. At £30,000 per game Dan Carter should make his debut for Perpignan against the Tigers in round four of the Heineken Cup.Toby Flood is three years younger than Carter and has played most his career at inside centre. Since moving to the Tigers Flood has been placed at fly half and has shown moments of brilliance. Flood has a great boot on him and distributes the ball well. He is currently the Heineken Cups top points scorer in this year’s competition.
Dan Carter is classed by many as the best fly half in the world and will cause the Tigers problems at the weekend. Although one player does not make a team, this special player will give all his team mates a boost and if the Tigers give penalties away in their own half he has the boot to punish them severely.
Come 4pm Sunday all eyes from the rugby world will be on these two teams. Tigers will have to go to France and come away with a win. They do not want to leave it till the last game to go to the Liberty Stadium and come away with a win, like against Muster two years ago.

I think Carter will be too much for the Tigers to handle on the weekend, and they'll struggle. Will be good to see him go head to head with Flood though.
The Flood gates are going to open!!! Come on Tigers!!!
Mate I love the blog - very snazzy and the multimedia is mint. good job
I'm predicting a Tigers win... But Toby Flood can't be compared to Carter, Big Dan takes the personal battle every time!
I think Carter will create this this weekend but its a team game and I believe Leicester are stronger all-round. However, Flood is only the fourth best outside-half in England so one on one there isn't a huge competition
