Can't believe it hasn't been mentioned more (apologies if people have and I missed it) but what a debut...
He really looked to the manor born I was so impressed with him to look that good v Kvesic who himself had a great game is testament to him..finally a player to get excited about from the academy
Looks as though all we really need is an international class 8 as with him and O'Connor 7 is covered and with Williams and Croft 6 is well stacked too..
He did look very impressive, not least when running down a Gloucs attack in their 22 and winning a penalty for holding on at the subsequent ruck. I'm sure he would have been disappointed that there was no mention of him in the Academy or Development squads in the programme, so many were left scratching their heads on Saturday and saying Will Who?
Be nice if people could praise our players rather than having little digs at the club. He looked a great prospect, you wouldn't have thought he was an academy player playing his first game. Not just one for the future, looks like he could do a good job now
Can I just echo the praise heaped upon Evans for such a young lad he had a tremendous 50 minutes and fully deserved the acclamation he received when substituted. Obviously this shows that our Academy is doing it's job and everyone there should be congratulated.
I agree, really think he deserves more praise than we are giving him. The way he sprung to his feet to win the penalty after making a good recovery tackle on Ben Morgan was top class.
Hopefully when theres some LV cup rugby next year we can see some more of this lad. What a prospect.

In fact - 11 out of the 19 players in the Development Squad don't have profiles. Come on Tigers - let's make them feel important to us!
Totally agree Strawcleaner, until recently about 8 of the Senior team had no photographs or profiles and Gary Sherrard apparently advised they were waiting on the official RFU camera! Well as you said 11/19 from the Development squad BUT only 23 photos & profiles missing in the Academy squad, now didn't Jessops the photographers start in Leicester? Come on Tigers get your cameras out.....
