Once a Tiger..
The Daily Mail's Chris Foy talks to Geordan Murphy who waxes lyrical about his passion for the Leicester Tigers
"Leicester versus Wasps. For so many years this was the prime fixture, the main event in the calendar and a seismic collision between domestic giants. Not any more.
On Saturday, Welford Road will stage the latest instalment of a once-fierce rivalry, but the visitors from London are a pale imitation of their predecessors who reached the pinnacle of the domestic and European game.
Wasps are in a state of turbulent transition and lie 11th in the Aviva Premiership table.
Like most clubs in most sports, Wasps are caught up in a cyclical process, but Leicester are seemingly immune to such inconvenient ebbs and flows of fortune. They are the Manchester United of the oval-ball code - perennial contenders, with strong support."
