After starring for Argentina at the Rugby World Cup, Agulla has slotted seamlessly back into the Tigers squad. He has been a livewire in attack, scoring his first Aviva Premiership Rugby try of the season against London Irish, solid in defence, and he has demonstrated his versatility with excellent performances on the wing and at centre.
This is the second successive Goldsmiths Player of the Month nomination for Salvi, who is making a big impression in his first season at Welford Road. The back-rower’s work-rate and tackle count has been a feature of his game and has quickly established him as a firm favourite with fans.
An ever-present during November, Smith is another who has impressed in defence and attack. The centre produced a stand-out defensive display against Ulster in the Heineken Cup clash at Welford Road and rounded it off with the only try of the game.
Billy Twelvetrees won the supporters vote for September while Geoff Parling was October’s winner.
Voting is now open on the Goldsmiths website at http://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/tigers and supporters have until Thursday, December 1 to cast their vote.
The winner will be announced at the sold-out Aviva Premiership Rugby game with Northampton Saints at Welford Road on Saturday, December 3.
The Tigers player of the month award is supported by Goldsmiths, the largest prestige and luxury jewellers in the UK, who are also official East Stand sponsors and official timekeepers.
