Anybody remember any props who were nearly Tigers?
The great Phil Vickery actually had a clause in his Gloucester contract that he be allowed to talk to Tigers if we ever made an approach. For some reason we never did and he went on to great things at Wasps.

To be fair, Phil moved to Wasps in 2006. We signed Jules in 2003 from Bristol thanks Ellis, and Castro in 2006.

I think Vunibaka did sign for us but was refused a work visa as he was not an international ( sevens not being counted )
So we only got Serevi who had a mixed time.
I suspect they were a package and we actually wanted Marika more than Serevi.
