His 23 carries against Sale was the highest in Aviva Premiership Round 16, a game in which he also made 13 tackles.   Crane’s experience from the bench helped Tigers to a late comeback victory over Newcastle and he was in eye-catching form against Exeter in the Aviva Premiership hitting 24 rucks, making 16 carries and 17 tackles.   This is a second nomination for Mathew Tait, who won January’s Goldsmiths Player of the Month award.   The full-back played a crucial role in the match-winning try at Newcastle Falcons, a game in which he made 11 carries and beat three defenders.   And against Exeter in Aviva Premiership Round 18, the full-back beat four defenders from just eight carries.   The Tigers trio will be aiming to follow Sam Harrison, the most recent winner of the award, as well as Tait, Graham Kitchener, Julian Salvi, Jamie Gibson and Harry Thacker.   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.
