INS & OUTS
Leicester Tigers have brought in two major England
internationals with Aviva Premiership experience with George Ford returning to
his old club and Jonny May moving from Gloucester Rugby.
INS – George Ford (Bath Rugby), Joe Ford (Yorkshire
Carnegie), Jonah Holmes (Yorkshire Carnegie), Sione Kalamafoni (Gloucester
Rugby), Nick Malouf (Australia Sevens), Jonny May (Gloucester Rugby), Gareth
Owen (Scarlets), Dominic Ryan (Leinster).
OUTS – Fraser Balmain (Gloucester Rugby), Peter Betham (ASM
Clermont Auvergne), Riccardo Brugnara (Rovigo), Oli Bryant (Jersey Reds),
Freddie Burns (Bath Rugby), Ryan Olowofela (England Sevens), JP Pieterson
(Toulon), Jack Roberts (Cardiff Blues), Ed Slater (Gloucester Rugby), Owen
Williams (Gloucester Rugby), Sam Yawayawa (Glasgow Warriors), Will Owen
(released), Marcos Ayerza (retired).
Verdict
With the likes of Ford and May joining, Tigers now have a
deadly backline that could rival Wasps and if they keep everyone fit especially
Manu Tuilagi then they’ll be a serious title contender.
