Excellent news.

Sam Eveleigh definitely should be in that squad too! Great young player, always think the U18 selections are hit and miss for England.

[Dangerous4]

That's encouraging news.

Well done the Academy! Perhaps Jamie Taylor should be coaching the senior squad!

Oh come off it Baz, it's U18 and some perspective is required.
Leicester have had decent numbers included before at this level, Rudkin, Thacker, Pohe and Catchpole in 2012.
If I recall correctly Itoje was in that year and virtually unknown on here.
It's a great achievement but the hardest is yet to come!

Oh come off it BFG! It was tongue-in-cheek! Perhaps Jamie Taylor has motivational skills lacking elsewhere!

I suspect motivational skills aren't lacking but just hampered by the doubt caused by the many comings and goings of recent years.
The youth need the seniors and vice versa.
You can clearly see that some continuity is trying to be restored, whether it's successful is another issue but they are clearly trying!

I agree with Leicestertinytiger, Whilst I congratulate the ones selected I think that our under 18's captain who had a fine game on Sunday at openside flanker Sam Eveleigh is unfortunate not to be picked.

[TigerCam]

Excellent news.

+1 . But how many will be nurtured by the club into the 1st XV should they be good enough?
