Jimmy Gopperth
Gopperth joined Leicester Tigers ahead of the 2022/23 season.
The versatile back made the move across the Midlands from fellow Gallagher Premiership club Wasps.
Born in New Zealand, he was selected to represent Wellington’s provincial team in 2003 after impressing for Old Boys University, before signing with Super Rugby side the Hurricanes in 2005.
Gopperth represented New Zealand Under-21 and the Junior All Blacks before moving to Auckland in 2008 and represented North Harbour and The Blues in Super Rugby before moving to the northern hemisphere in 2009 to join Newcastle Falcons.
After more than 100 appearances for Newcastle, he joined Leinster Rugby for two seasons and returned to the Premiership with Wasps in 2015.
Gopperth has won both the Premiership Player of the Year and RPA Players’ Player of the Year awards, as well as the Golden Boot in 2016/17 as the league’s top points-scorer. He sits in fourth place on the Premiership’s all-time points-scorer list after more than 200 appearances in the English top flight.
Calum Green
Green returned to Leicester Tigers from Newcastle Falcons in the summer of 2019.
Originally from Norwich, Calum came through the Tigers academy ranks, captaining the team in his final year, before making his senior debut at the end of the 2008/09 season as a teenager.
He started the historic win over world champions South Africa at Welford Road as well as gaining senior experience on loan at Nottingham before joining Yorkshire Carnegie.
Calum moved to Newcastle in 2014 and made more than 100 first-team appearances for the Falcons, consistently appearing among Premiership Rugby’s leading locks, particularly in his set-piece stats, before agreeing to return to Welford Road where he made 20 appearances in his first season back.
