A massive Leicester Tigers thank you to Sienna Sanders who is today’s virtual matchday mascot.
Like all of our Junior Tigers, we know you will be right behind the team even though you cannot attend games in the stadium at this point. But at least we can now start counting down to when games will be open to supporters again!
A draw is held to find our virtual mascot for each home game among purchasers of Junior Tigers Club membership. Junior membership is £35 and includes free bobble hat and goodie bag.

Dan Cole made both his 100th appearance for Tigers (2013) and his 100th start (2016) in European Cup fixtures.
It has been a sensational season in the Heineken Champions Cup for France’s Top 14 clubs so far, as the league boasts three-quarters of the semi-final line-up. They also monopolise the accolades in Champions Try of the Round, with four winners from as many competitions to date in 2020/21.
Toulouse have landed two of those, with Antoine Dupont’s Round of 16 score for the four-time winners away to Munster Rugby defined as that weekend’s pick of the action. That came after club colleague Cheslin Kolbe got the nod for a scintillating score away to another of Ireland’s provinces, Ulster Rugby, back in December.
La Rochelle’s Grégory Alldritt was given the quarter-final honours for his outstanding try against Sale Sharks with Channel 4 pundit and former Leinster Rugby No.8 Jamie Heaslip adding his views to those of the public vote to determine the winner. Alivereti Raka’s try for ASM Clermont Auvergne in a losing cause against Munster Rugby took the Round 2 competition. For the fifth consecutive season, the Champions Try of the Round competition is launched on the Monday after each match round, with Try of the Season opening immediately after Finals Weekend.
Juan Imhoff won the annual award in 2019/20 for his critical score in the semi-final win for Racing 92 over Saracens. Previous tries of the season had been scored by Nick Abendanon (2016/17), Tadhg Beirne (2017/18) and Maxime Médard (2018/19).
