The Anatomy of a Try: Max Malins vs Leicester Tigers October 2022
The first thing most will look for on a fixture list is the rematch between last year’s finalists. On paper, it’s the game everyone looks forward to, the settling of a grudge the proof the final was or wasn’t a one-off. Be it Players or fans alike, who doesn’t like the settling of a grudge?
