Leicester Tigers Women 2023/24 - Vicky Macqueen in 'The Magnificent Fifteen'

[ourla]

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.

Loved that, a great piece

I take it the women's side have an agreement with them like the men's does with Nottingham?

Comfortable 7-36 win for Lichfield to kick off the season. Iavarone PotM.

Catha Jacobs made a return from injury in South Africa's big win over Kenya.

We have partnerships with Lichfield and Kenilworth.

Its game week!

Our first proper fixture of this new era is at 2pm on Saturday, away at Sale. Should be a great yardstick for exactly where we're at. I don't think there's any broadcast, unfortunately.

Also, congrats to Leah Bartlett, Elis Martin, Eva Donaldson and Fran McGhie for making the final training squad for Scotland's WXV2 campaign in South Africa next month. They play a warm-up at home to Spain on the 30th.

Finally, the Red Roses are back in action over the next two weekends, with two tests against Canada. Amy Cokayne and Meg Jones are part of the squad preparing for WXV1 in New Zealand.

Tahlia Brody, Tess Feury and Keia Mae Sagapolu have been named in the USA squad for WXV2 in South Africa, as well as a warm-up in Wales at the end of the month.

Meanwhile, flanker Roisin McBrien gave a nice interview ahead of our opening fixture at the weekend. I especially like the part about the clubhouse at Oaks Park. I'd understood the importance of the team having their own dedicated training space, but I didn't really consider that also coming with their own clubhouse for socialising too.

Good article and great learn more about the squad (equally the latest piece on the back room staff is a good read too)

Good luck - will be a real test but can't wait to see how we match up at this level regardless of the result. Massive progress by the club and the foundations are in place

where is the women's league shown, highlights etc.? I would have thought the club would publicise it.
