Of late Leicester have struggled with back-row balance at times.

With the rest of the team looking upwards following the signings of George Ford and Jonny May, it’s time the back-row found balance.
What player could be better than Mark Wilson? A great carrier and a real dog around the pitch.
Whether played at 6 or 8, he would definitely fix some balancing issues in the Tigers faltering back-row.
Northampton Saints: Ross Moriarty
Last season, the shining light of Northampton was Louis Picamoles. He was the Saints go to man in some tough situations and carried them at times during the season.

Unfortunately, he’s left for Montpellier and has left a big hole for Saints to fill.
Moriarty would be the perfect player to fit that hole. A destructive carrier and Welsh international he’d be a mainstay of the team for years to come.
He’d have big shoes to fill but Moriaty is more than capable of providing Saints with front foot ball and destructive carrying.
