One Tigers player in the first 15. Before opening the link, can you guess who it is?

Poor article:
  • Too early to have a Team of the Season
  • The players such as O’Callaghan and Brits are in there purely because they’re retiring and while they have both played well, there have been better players this season
  • Picking internationals such as Launchbury who have hardly played this season

Will Greenwood's team of the year in the Telegraph didn't include 1 Tiger, very few got an honourable mention!

I think if Gengey hadn't had that injury he'd have been in. Same goes for Brendan O'Connor but he's missed too many games.
I saw Marika Vunibaka play

I have NEVER seen or heard Greenwood say a good word about Tigers in over a decade.
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

He came in and usurped him as 12 and forced Greenwood to 13

No he played inside centre for England but always wore 13 when playing With Tindall. One of them was superstitious but can’t remember which

It was Guscott who wouldn't wear 13 out of superstition when Will came in so he just stuck with it after. Unlucky Ellis :smt023
