Is he any good corko ?
I'll post more in the morning but yes he is. I'd find it hard to think of another prop who would suit Tigers ethos better. Many of us in Munster were gutted he was allowed leave, having had a fantastic season last year.

From what I’ve seen of Sleightholme I’ve always rated him. Hasn’t quite got his dads power but quicker. Not sure what it is that keeps him down the pecking order at Saints

Afoa will be a loss he was pretty good this weekend.
Not sure where the budget for a TH will be coming from either.

Mentioned in commentary at the weekend that Vannes have aspirations to move up the leagues.
In my defence, I was left unsupervised….

Presumably this is part of the fall out from the media reported contract extension mishap on the Bristol admin front the other month.

Vannes made the playoffs last season but haven’t done so well this season.
