Leicester Tigers best uncapped XV

Post by JeffBadland »

Apologies if this has already been done, but I was thinking about the best XV of uncapped Tigers players. It would be interesting to see other people's thoughts.

Stankovich
Buckland
Moreno
Kitchener
Slater
Liebenberg
Salvi
W Johnson

Harrison
I Humphreys
Thompstone
Cornwell
M Smith
J Murphy
(Struggling to think of a full back)

I'm pretty certain that Moreno was capped?

I could also be equally wrong!

He was actually capped by Argentina and Italy. I'll drop him.

A tasty looking back row…but surely Graham Willars would make the squad of 23 at the very least

Difficult one this, loads of players which spring to mind like Vesty, Hamilton, Newby etc all have caps.

Stanko Hawkins Nebbett
Slater Green
Wells Liebenberg Salvi

Hamilton Humphreys
Bowden Smith
Thompstone Liley Murphy

A bit harsh on Gustard, but we’ve got plenty of quality in the backrow. Scraping the barrel when it comes to backs.

John Wells, Ian Smith.

Didn't Liley (J) get a cap in Argentina?
To win is not as important as playing with style!

Think Liley went on a tour which wasn't awarded test status. Aadel Kardooni, Jez Harris and Glenn Gelderbloom are othe possibilities in the backs. Matt Poole in with a shout for second row- another who toured with England but not capped.

And Derek Jelley an alternative in the front row?
