SKIVINGTON PRAISES LEICESTER HUNGER

George Skivington has said that Leicester is incredibly hungry about getting more success.”I’ve said to so many people I’ve really enjoyed playing for Leicester this year I’ve really genuinely enjoyed playing rugby,” he tells BBC East Midlands.

“Playing at Welford Road, running out in front of that crowd, when they start stomping their feet when you run on the pitch – it’s pretty special.”

The 28-year-old lock left Wasps after nine years last summer for the Tigers and has not looked back.

A rock in the Leicester engine room this season he has made 26 appearances – and all but two of those for the full 80 minutes.
