A 39-50 home defeat by Leicester was one of the most disappointing results for the Monarchs for a long time, and the second time they have failed to reach 40 at Armadale this season.

Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my! Or so the song goes and that is what the What the Fork Monarchs are faced with as tonight sees the 2nd of a Glasgow, Leicester, Redcar trio of matches as the Lions come to Armadale in Championship action.
