Confirmation that we're playing away at Henley Hawks on Sunday afternoon, which will be our only warm-up match. Looks like we'll be using the cup fixtures to try and get up to speed ahead of the Premiership, similar to the men's side. Head coach Tom Hudson has written a preview: https://www.leicestertigers.com/news/preview-wps-2324
Also confirmed is the front-of-shirt sponsor for the team, Tradeview Markets. A stockbroker, but they do have genuine rugby interests. I know this has been a key target for the club to fund the development of the Oadby Town site. https://www.leicestertigers.com/news/pa ... -tradeview

Team news for Sunday
Starting XV very close to what you'd expect from last season. Just Amanda Swartz at 13 bumping Childs and Jones one inside. I suppose the coaches want to see what progress has been made over preseason. A bunch of new faces on the overloaded bench.

Wouldn't most of the internationals be with their countries preparing for WXV?

5-57 victory today! Much tougher opposition to come, but sounds like a useful exercise.

Sounds like it was good win, but we’ll have to work on our ball retention before the season begins. Hopefully there will some highlights uploaded by the club?Darc Tiger wrote: ↑Sun Sep 03, 2023 9:09 pm 5-57 victory today! Much tougher opposition to come, but sounds like a useful exercise.

Cheering on the Tigers in Detroit.
Previously a slower, shorter, less good looking version of Tom Croft.

A major marker for me will be when a player we can make a fair claim to having developed gets their first cap.Hot_Charlie wrote: ↑Tue Sep 05, 2023 9:28 amHopefully the first of many international call ups for the women of the Tigers in the coming years.Darc Tiger wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 6:34 pm More WXV announcements:

Re: Leicester Tigers Women 2023/24 - Vicky Macqueen in 'The Magnificent Fifteen'
I don't disagree with you, which is interesting as our initial squad was obviously a mix of talented raw youngsters and some who'd spent a few years around the fringes of the Prem 15s and the second/third tiers of Women's rugby.Darc Tiger wrote: ↑Tue Sep 05, 2023 4:45 pmA major marker for me will be when a player we can make a fair claim to having developed gets their first cap.Hot_Charlie wrote: ↑Tue Sep 05, 2023 9:28 amHopefully the first of many international call ups for the women of the Tigers in the coming years.Darc Tiger wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 6:34 pm More WXV announcements:

Channel 4 have put out a lovely little mini doc with our own Celia Quansah and Meg Jones, about being in a relationship whilst also being teammates at the elite level.
