Leicester Tigers player sponsors met the first-team squad and toured behind the scenes at Oval Park in a pre-season meet-and-greet event on Wednesday.

Director of rugby Richard Cockerill, chief executive Simon Cohen and club president Mike Harrison welcomed the sponsors who were given a tour of the Tigers training facility and watched some of the players at work in the gym before joining them for a barbeque lunch.

Cockerill conducted a question-and-answer session with Tigers’ guests, giving them a taste of the qualities the club looks for in its players and staff, and how they deal with the expectation every season as one of the biggest clubs in world rugby.

New signings Dan Bowden, Rob Andrew, Vereniki Goneva and Adam Thompstone and the rest of the senior squad met their sponsors over lunch to talk about their pre-season programme and their thoughts on the season ahead.
