So Leicester Tigers new coach is.... 3 people! That's how many it takes to fill Deanos shoes.

John Wells, the incumbent since Deanos departure, gets the role full-time as reward for his efforts which hae seen Tigers string some good results together. He gets assistance from 2 returning ex-Tigers, Aussie Pat Howard, who was and is a class act, and Richard Cockerill who left Leicester under a cloud having insulted Dean Richards and Clie Woodward in his autobiography - not a clever idea when you're playing for Leicester and England. He was, however, a great player in the Brian Moore mould. And every Rugby fan will remember his famous confrontation with Norm Hewitt as the All Blacks performed the Haka at Twickenham in 1997. That incident prompted the IRB to introduce rules regarding the Haka that mean opposition teams have to remain in their own half, and the kiwis have to be behind thier own 10 metre line. Sad really. This is rugby after all so there's nothing wrong with a bit of confrontation, or as the great Bill McLaren would put it, arrrrgie barrrrgie.
