Leicester have announced that they will launch their first-ever Down Syndrome rugby team later this month to mark awareness month for the genetic disorder.
Tigers will launch the programme on October 21 at their Oval Park training base, with a special introductory session. Sessions will run every other Sunday from October 22 until the end of the season.
Players from the introductory session will go to Welford Road and take part in a game of tag on the pitch at half-time of Tigers' opening Premiership game against Sale.
