Re: Leicester Tigers Women 2023/24 - Vicky Macqueen in 'The Magnificent Fifteen'
We're heading down to Ealing on Sunday (1400) for a 3rd shot at our apparent bogey team. I'd say that the two matches against them have been our worst performances of the season.
In the end it was a decent effort last week against Quins, having been outplayed in the first half, but a lot of that was due to the impact of our North Americans from the bench. That key group headed off to prepare for the Pacific Fours this week, so its an even more inexperienced side this time out. I think Ealing will be less impacted in terms of experience lost, so I'm keeping my expectations in check, and its all about experience for much of our team.
STARTING XV
15 Amanda Swartz [11]
14 Charlotte Daley [9]
13 Katie Childs [25]
12 Sarah Nicholas [10]
11 Zoë Evans [22]
10 Natasha Jones (c) [33]
9 Amy Relf [32]
1 Churchy Knight [30]
2 Alana Bainbridge [13]
3 Ofure Ugiagbe [28]
4 Zoe Warrington [19]
5 Charlotte Fray [17]
6 Morgan Richardson [33]
7 Roisin McBrien [30]
8 Becky Noon [32]
REPLACEMENTS
16 Tanya Bird [19]
17 Stef Evans *
18 Jade Jones [18]
19 Maddie Massey [2]
20 Georgie Grimes [5]
21 Jemima Moss [1]
22 Molly Draycott [18]
23 Louisa Burgham [13]
Daley and Burgham join the ranks of last season's stars to get an opportunity, while the likes of Warrington, Massey and Grimes also get rare appearances.
There's also another debut this week in experienced former Worcester forward Stef Evans, who sures up the depth in the tight 5. I liked the look of Jemima Moss on debut last week. Definitely brought some physicality.

Re: Leicester Tigers Women 2023/24 - Vicky Macqueen in 'The Magnificent Fifteen'
Back to the PWR tomorrow, with an away trip to Quins.
STARTING XV
15 Amanda Swartz [12]
14 Celia Quansah *
13 Katie Childs [26]
12 Sarah Nicholas [11]
11 Francesca McGhie [11]
10 Natasha Jones (c) [34]
9 Amy Relf [33]
1 Leah Bartlett [12]
2 Elis Martin [11]
3 Lisa Cockburn [11]
4 Eva Donaldson [11]
5 Charlotte Fray [18]
6 Morgan Richardson [34]
7 Roisin McBrien [31]
8 Becky Noon [33]
REPLACEMENTS
16 Alana Bainbridge [14]
17 Jade Jones [19]
18 Georgie Grimes [6]
19 Maddie Massey [3]
20 Tanya Bird [20]
21 Zoe Warrington [20]
22 Charlotte Daley [9]
23 Zoë Evans [23]
We're reinforced by our Scottish contingent, but we're still under-strength, as our Red Roses and North Americans are absent.
Great to see Celia Quansah finally make her debut, and it will be her first XVs game since 2021!
I think its a first league start for Katie Childs.
Georgie Grimes and Charlotte Daley can make their league debuts for the club off the bench.
Not going in with huge expectations, as our absentees are significant ones. Hopefully the good weather will allow us to play the attacking rugby we want to play, and we can get some scores on the board.

Re: Leicester Tigers Women 2023/24 - Vicky Macqueen in 'The Magnificent Fifteen'
Meg Jones has stepped away from XVs for the rest of the season, as she rejoins GB Sevens ahead of the series final in Madrid at the end of the month, and then on to the Paris Olympics. She'll become the first active Leicester player to represent at the Olympics since John and Dick Jackett in 1908!
Amy Cokayne, Lucy Nye, Rebecca De Filippo and Orla Proctor are all starting for the RAF in their crunch clash with the Army tomorrow at 11am.
Mae Sagapolu, Tahlia Brody and Tess Feury are on PAC4 duty for the USA. Claire Gallagher and Julia Omokhuale for Canada. They faced each other in the first round, and Canada were impressive in a 50-7 win. Gallagher scoring twice, and Omokhuale finishing a sweeping team effort for her first international try. USA face the Black Ferns, and Canada face Australia in the early hours tomorrow morning.
Both the RAF and PAC4 games are being streamed on rugbypass.tv

Apart from the news about the new sponsor it’s gone really quiet on the format for the women’s game for next season including any players in or out plus details of season tickets etc.

Re: Leicester Tigers Women 2023/24 - Vicky Macqueen in 'The Magnificent Fifteen'
Back in action today away at Bristol, 1530. Another difficult match. Tigers battled admirably for 60 minutes away at the Stoop last time out, but definitely lacked the extra oomph from our absent England and North American internationals. Clear disparity of experience on the benches too. Couple of well taken tries for McGhie.

The side is mostly unchanged, but Amy Cokayne, Lucy Nye and Orla Proctor return from RAF duty, with the latter being handed a debut! The young Scot is a bit of a pocket powerhouse, with plenty of potential. New signing Jemima Moss is added to the bench.

Re: Leicester Tigers Women 2023/24 - Vicky Macqueen in 'The Magnificent Fifteen'
Huge results for our North Americans in the Pacific Four series this weekend!
Firstly, a stirring 2nd half saw USA overturn a 14 point deficit to beat the Wallaroos 25-32 in Melbourne! It was a surprise (and much needed) return to form, as they've had a tough time getting into stride post-covid. Really went to work on the Aussie pack. A welcome ranking boost, and should secure them a spot in WXV1 this year.
But that achievement was dwarfed by Canada stunning the Black Ferns in Christchurch this morning! New Zealand raced out to a 14-3 lead, but Canada dug deep, and turned the match in their favour, before holding off the pressure in the last quarter for a 19-22 victory! A first ever win for Canada over the Black Ferns, and they move up to 2nd in the rankings. Phenomenal work being doing with that group of players, in challenging circumstances. A first title for them, too!
