Welcome to the neighbourhood!

Leicester Tigers have greeted Wasps’ arrival in Coventry with some classic tom-foolery. The Premiership side has poked fun at Wasps’ latest relocation by taking out advertising at their new stadium, the Ricoh Arena.

A Tigers spokesperson told the BBC, ‘The club has a lot of supporters in Coventry and we’re keen to remind people we’re here.’

Wasps, in response, say they are delighted their rivals have chose to spend money advertising at their new home. The club, who face Leinster in the Champions Cup next weekend, moved from Adams Park in Wycombe, north-west London at the end of last year.
