England wing Anthony Watson could return to the Leicester starting line-up for Sunday’s Gallagher Premiership clash against his former club Bath.
Michael Cheika felt that Leicester were rewarded for “playing the long game” after his reign as Tigers head coach began with a dramatic 17-14 Gallagher Premiership victory over Exeter.
Wales international flanker Tommy Reffell’s try two minutes into stoppage time ensured an outstanding win on the road.
Leicester Tigers have announced the signing of Fiji international Ben Volavola for the 2024/25 season - as first reported by RugbyPass nearly two weeks ago.
The 33-year-old is a former Australia U20s cap who has been looking for a new club since being one of 36 players released by Agen when his contract ran out earlier in the summer.
Volavola is by far Fiji's most experienced No 10, making his international debut at the 2015 Rugby World Cup and racking up 42 total caps.
Fiji emerged from the Pacific Nations Cup victorious after a clean sweep was confirmed in a 35-12 win over Japan.
