NAT 1 is a very competitive league and there are few givens. Over the years some clubs have performed very well in their first season in the league, and continue to do so. Therefore, I would not be surprised if LL or the other newly promoted teams do the same. Best of luck, I hope it's a great season and one not spoilt by adapting and interpreting the new tackle laws.

Well the new season in a new league is almost upon us, how will it go? In the prediction league only one other person thinks the Lions will get anything out of the game with Sale and to be fair, whilst we are guessing, it is a fair assumption.
Can Sale carry on from last season, will they take a further step? Can the Lions carry forward their impressive league performance from last season? Exciting to see some rugby again, let's hope all keep fit and well for the coming season.

I don't think Lions have a plan for promotion this year lol. I would guess it's about consolidating their position in the league, alphabetically they sit seventh, I would take that as a position at the end of the season lol.

No point doing anything else. However, splitting the 'better' players between first- and second-half teams certainly didn't help Cov's performance - neither did the absence of Pellegrini and Ryan*. Alex Rae will have learned much here, and I would expect a rather different strategy against Mose. As I've said elsewhere, Lions looked good, and while we can't pre-judge the quality of L3 this season, I'd be surprised if they're not near the top at the death, on this showing at least. *Edit: And Chudley. How did I forget Chudley?

33-21 was not a bad effort, 7-7 at HT shows we have some talent and hopefully the side will click together.

He was on loan to Birmingham Moseley last season and impressed. Don't know how many games he played, but sure someone will tell us. Barring injuries, I think BM is covered well in the back row this season.

I see Simon Koroiyadi starts, not sure if he is a new signing or a loan from Leicester Tigers?
senior academy. Also the winger Satala was also in the Tigers academy last season.

It seems the squad signings are complete, though no idea if any dr's from Leicester Tigers will materialise, we seem to have at least one each year.
Some surprising omissions from the announced squad, but some exciting looking signings going into the new era for the club. First pre-season game squad announcement will be interesting, not long to go.

Looking on Google Maps, other mapping software is available, I would say they have space for about 60 cars and a coach - and then there may be space in the golf club car park, if they are able to use that.

I have not been to Leicester since the new clubhouse was built and the pitch sold, is there a bigger car park otherwise that will cause issues.
