Tigers came into form perfectly at the end of the Premiership season, scoring 5 bonus point wins in 7 matches before crushing Saracens in their semi-final at Welford road. Barnes, who was started at Whistle-Bac k for Tigers while on loan during their last fixture against Quins on April 21st before returning to the Irish province hoping to secure the Heineken cup final.
