Interesting that Van Staden is very much a openside (who has some starts at 8)
Reminds me of a squatter Louw in a way.

I'm not sure Borthwick is completely sold on Reffell just yet, it may be that he doesn't think he's ready to be starting every week, therefore another 7 is needed. With Reffell and Wallace we have two players at opposite ends of their careers and perhaps Borthwick thinks we need someone in the middle who is first XV quality right now.
I know some on here think very highly of Wallace, but with all due respect you aren't likely to get in the top 4 with him in your starting line up week in week out. He's a good squad player but that's it, so if Reffell isn't viewed as being ready, someone else is needed.

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2020/21 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD EPISODE V: Borthwick Strikes Back
Reffell is the best 7 we have, looks the part in every game & when our back row is balanced does not look out of place in the league (he wins more pens than he gives away at the breakdown) what you do need is at least 2 "starting" quality 7's it's such a demanding, specialist & attrional position.Tiglon wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 3:24 pm I'm not sure Borthwick is completely sold on Reffell just yet, it may be that he doesn't think he's ready to be starting every week, therefore another 7 is needed.

To win is not as important as playing with style!

Just read on ‘Ruck’ that Ollie Lawrence may be leaving Worcester soon (so take it with a huge pinch of salt) .
If true I’d love to see him at tigers depending on price of contract.
