5 of the starting backline wasn't even at the club last season. Yes Montpellier wasn't anything special. But don't have to be anything special to be good.

Re: Leicester Marathon

If I get up in time after flying back from SA on Saturday my wife and I are intending to visit Kisco in Cobden Street Sunday AM, before parking at High Cross to walk down to WR. Don't know Leicester too well other than my normal route in from Lincoln via A46/A6. Advice from locals always welcome
