    Damian de Allende talks about the plaudits heaped on him by his teammates

    Leicester have seen plenty of coaching changes in recent seasons, with Steve Borthwick and Kevin Sinfield leaving to take charge of England. They proceeded to take several members of staff with them to Twickenham, leaving the Tigers scrapping to assemble a coaching team with McKellar’s arrival.

    After McKellar’s first season in charge, there has been a rejig to his backroom staff with interim attack coach Matt Smith returning to his role as skills and lead academy coach.

    Brett Deacon has also officially been named forwards coach ahead of next season, with Matt Everard and Dan Palmer continuing as defence coach and scrum coach, respectively.

    Looking at his new appointments, McKellar said: “We’re pleased to have Peter join Leicester Tigers.

    “Obviously having worked with Pete before, I know how good a coach he is and the energy and expertise he will bring to the club.

    “With his experience and knowledge of the Premiership as a player, he’ll only add to and compliment the group we have in place with Brett, Matt, Dan and Matt Smith playing an important role as a bridge to our Senior Academy.

    “Equally, we’re really fortunate to bring Matt Parr back to Tigers as Head of Athletic Performance.

    “Matt’s gone away to Catalan Dragons in the past couple of seasons to upskill himself and to be ready to take on this role, and our conversations and speaking to those who have worked with him before, he’ll be able to start day one with the relationships and knowledge of the club to help us hit the ground running.”

    Blues lose All Black for season ahead of Hurricanes derby

    This has been a very distressful week for me, after investing a humongous amount into Coinpro, a trading platform that promised luring returns, their 25% interest on each trading was quite an enticing deal so I opted to invest £207,700 expecting huge and profitable returns, unfortunately for me I realized little too late that it was the worst financial decision blunder that I had made after they started taking me round in circles once I realized I couldn’t access my funds.

    I became frustrated and anxious upon coming to accept that I could have possibly lost my life time investment. After days of struggling with my situation I soon realized I urgently needed professional help, so I dove down to research on how to recover lost my funds, it’s when I stumbled on several testimonials about LEE ULIMATE HACKER an APPROVED hacker in all recovery problems, I decided to contact them via Leeultimatehacker@aol.com & wh@tsapp +1 (715) 314 - 9248

    ASAP and I was soon welcomed by good customer service from one of their staff, who took me through the recovery process, I had lost all hope but they gave me hope and within a period of 12hours I was met with good news LEE ULTIMATE HACKER and his team were able to trace my funds, this quick turn around was just the good news that i deserved after that traumatic experience I had encountered of not being able to access my funds, but that was all water under the bridge after LEE ULTIMATE HACKER kept their word and within a few hours I was able to access and withdraw all my funds. Contact LEE ULTIMATE HACKER for all your recovery problems.
