Andy Goode isn't after just Jonny Wilkinson's head today - he wants to scalp the whole Newcastle team!
Two months ago the fly-half's dangerous high tackle on rival Wilko nearly took the England hero's head off his shoulders as Tigers easily defeated Falcons.
But this afternoon at Kingston Park, Goode is merely focusing on leaving Wilko feeling deflated - and his own side a big step nearer the play-offs. Leicester stand sixth in the table while the Falcons have just pride at stake. And Goode said: "The pressure is always on this club because of what we've achieved over so many great years.
"We just cannot afford to lose this game or the last against Harlequins. A number of people have been queuing up to have a go because we've slipped a bit from where we'd like to be. But that's a fact of life at Leicester.
"Newcastle have nothing to play for but it won't be easy. I can't see Jonny Wilkinson going through the motions. Can you?"
