In answer to ABClub's earlier question, my son tells me that Sam Eveleigh is studying at Newcastle Uni. He's certainly been involved in the rugby club there, but doesn't seem to figure in any of the recent team sheets as far as I can see.

Thanks Kevin. Good to know!

With Quins doing see well from BUCS recruitment (Dombrandt, Kenningham and Northmore I believe) I hope that more sides will look to it as a development pathway.

Tigers academy grad Jordan Tebbatt got picked up by Sale after a scout came to see him with the Manchester Met side as well. I do wonder if Tebbatt will prove to be one who got away.

Ilione looks a cracker though of course.

I think he took a injury earlier in the season.
Also interesting that former Tigers U18 Lock/Number 8 Bob Singer is at Newcastle Uni

Koelman was with Brive. He got a bit of game time in their U23s. He made his senior Netherlands debut over the summer.

With the talk of young fly-halves like Fin Smith on the last transfers page it's probably worth mentioning that Harry Glynn seems to be progressing well at La Rochelle.

Koelman still looks like a good player. I hope the club is keeping an eye on all these former players that got away in the slump.

Yep, he is at Chinnor thanks Sam. I'd heard that Keston Lines was there but hadn't seen any team sheets. There's a few former Tigers there! Hardwick, Lines, Fred Tuilagi and Sam Yawayawa in their last 23.

Not really.
They also team up with Saracens.
Most likely trying to get into all the clubs
