Leicester Tigers cancel A League fixture against Northampton...
- 91
Leicester Tigers Premiership A League fixture at Northampton Saints tomorrow night has been cancelled.
A long injury list forced Leicester to rely on a number of young players for last week’s A League game against Newcastle.
And with no improvement to that situation this week, Tigers feel they would have “had to compromise player safety in respect of the age of the team, particularly in the front row” if they fulfilled the Saints fixture.
As a result, the club feels it had no choice but to cancel the game.
