England great reveals Eddie Jones' pick for Leicester's new boss and stresses the 'bigger loss' than Handre Pollard

Rugby World Cup winner Ben Kay reckons either Graham Rowntree or Paul Gustard would prove a fine successor to Michael Cheika at Leicester Tigers.

The article discusses the appointment of Dan McKellar as the new head coach for Leicester Tigers, following the departure of Steve Borthwick to England's national team. Former England rugby player Matt Dawson praised the choice of McKellar, highlighting his successful tenure at the Brumbies in Super Rugby. Dawson emphasized that while the loss of star player Handre Pollard to injury is significant, the real challenge for Leicester is replacing Borthwick's leadership. He also mentioned that McKellar's arrival could bring a fresh perspective and potentially elevate the team's performance, despite the high expectations and the need to adapt to the Premiership's competitive environment.
