Former England scrum half Austin Healey has picked his Premiership Rugby 'Immortals XV', with the former Leicester Tigers player not looking too far from home in where he picked his line-up.
Healey's starting XV was made up entirely of his former Leicester Tigers teammates, in a move which left BT Sport presenter Craig Doyle speechless. Healey justified his picks by jokingly saying:
"Most people would have shot my team down anyway so, I was onto a hiding for nothing. So what I did was, I just picked the whole Leicester team that I played with."
I think it makes perfect sense, they've won four (Premiership) titles, they're all... well, most of them are great blokes. And I understand everything about them."
