Mulipola won the fans vote after a series of impressive displays in the Aviva Premiership and LV= Cup.

“I am very happy to be playing in the Leicester team,” says Mulipola, who received a Tag Heuer Aquaracer watch from award sponsor Goldsmiths. “Thank you to the supporters for their votes. I am really enjoying my rugby.”

Horacio Agulla, George Ford and Steve Mafi are the three Tigers nominated for the Goldsmiths Player of the Month for March.

All three have played their part in Tigers reaching the LV= Cup Final and in moving into the top four in the Aviva Premiership Rugby table.

Agulla, the winner of the Goldsmiths Player of the Month for November, is nominated for a second time this season after another strong set of performances.

The Argentina international scored his fifth try of the season in the Aviva Premiership Rugby victory over Newcastle Falcons and played his part in the LV= Cup semi-final victory over Bath Rugby.

Ford is also nominated for a second time. The fly-half kicked 12 points in the Aviva Premiership Rugby victory over Newcastle Falcons and then landed four penalties at The Recreation Ground to help book a place in Sunday’s LV= Cup final.

Mafi’s ball carrying and set-piece work has been a real feature of recent games. Indeed, his lineout skills led directly to his third try of the season in the Aviva Premiership victory over Gloucester Rugby at Welford Road.

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.
