The first game is out of the international window so no English or French based players in that squad yet

They were conned, like so many.
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Costelow I think was sold a dream. Not sure he's going to be that impressed with how it's turned out. Holmes went knowing that he'd have a contract with Dragons for pretty much as long as he wants one, good financial security but with the chance of more caps. He's in his late 20s and there was plenty of squad upheaval here at Tigers.

Costelow would have got a lot of game time had he stayed. Real shame to see him head back to Wales so early.

If he develops to be good enough, Costelow’s got plenty of time on his side.

Costelow is very good already and got to say I was disappointed to see him behind some fairly average club players at Scarlets. O'Brien and Evans are not going to become international flyhalfs, Costelow should. Really can't understand the lack of game time for him. He got more game time off the bench as the season went on but we would have undoubtedly had a lot more had he stayed here as Henry was brought in to replace him. With Ford away for so long last season it would have been Costelow Vs McPhillips for the starting job.

Reffell has a 94% tackle completion rate and has only given away 2 penalties in 260 minutes which is incredible for a 7! Only 11 carries for 52 metres though and that’s what could’ve hurt him being called up.

His style of play seems to be the biggest issue...
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.
