The Tigers are
strong favourites to win their third successive Premiership title, largely
because Dean Richard's team will once again be virtually unbeatable at home.
However, there were signs last season that Leicester might struggle to contain
more expansive teams away from Welford Road - heavy defeats at Saracens and
Northampton a case in point.
The arrival
of Tuilagi from Super League and Stanley from BC will help broaden their
rugby horizons, which the Tigers have to do if they are to match the likes
of Saracens and Northampton, and only a fool would completely rule Leicester
out of the title race. It's a big challenge for Richards, perhaps too big.
