Just wait a couple of weeks, he'll be joining Croft (if he ever gets a game).

There is a rumour Manu picked up an injury in training yesterday. Obviously more likely to be false than true, but worth keeping an eye on.


If so, you'd think Tait slots straight in at 13 next week.

Prefer Wells to Fitzgerald anyway and Maksymiw had a good game in the A League

On Twitter from RugbyInsideLine: INJURY RUMOUR: Reports of a potentially season ending injury at Leicester. Will post more details when we have more clarity.


So does this relate to Manu or Fitz?

Has to be Manu,Fitzy is only 3 months. If it is Manu it's terrible news with our threadbare centres and he needs to be let go now!

Rugbyinsideline is run by saints fans, so I be tempted to wait for conformation.

Seen the from the comments on the therugbyinsider post that it is potentially manu related. Incredibly unfortunate a reoccurrence or a new injury? Also great reporting from BBC say that Fitz was signed from Exeter Cheifs in 2015
