Ok given the pre-warning surely this is a big one?!?
Well if it isn't Scarratt it will be anticlimax & you would guess unlikely to ever happen.
Dunno, she's not the only huge name in women's rugby, just look at the end of the last page where someone links us (if obscurely) with Amy Cokayne, who is also a huge name in women's rugby

And as I mentioned in another post, our new forwards coach is the fiancé of Zoe Aldcroft

I'd edge towards that making it less likely to be honest.

It's a pretty long commute. And there's precedent with Abbie and Dave Ward.

On the stream Racheal Burford commented on ex Lichfield players & our link to Lichfield then back peddled by saying she knows nothing.
When the Women played at Lichfield earlier in the season, Vicky was chatting with the current England Hooker Amy Cokayne for about half an hour or so after the Game. Amy is ex Lichfield, but this might be some of the stardust she is referring to? Pure speculation, of course.
Very accurate speculation...

World class signing, and an area we absolutely needed a strong specialist. :smt023

This is incredible. We have just signed a player who scored a hat trick in the most recent RWC Final. What a statement of intent!
Cheering on the Tigers in Detroit.
Previously a slower, shorter, less good looking version of Tom Croft.

Very much so. A player who is in the top 2 or 3 in the world in her position.

Since the team was announced you got the feeling that at some point we’ll see her in a Tigers shirt.

Can't speak for everybody else but nothing would make me happier than seeing Montoya and Scarratt on the posters at Welford Road!

With all the excitement of new signings and playing other top teams one can only hope more games will be played at Welford Road and maybe even double headers.

I suspect all games will be held at MWWR given the number of ST holders (over 4000).

I believe that when it was announced that the application to the premier 15s was successful they said that the matches would all be played at MWWR
