New Leicester winger to fight for his place

New Leicester winger Lee Robinson is taking nothing for granted despite impressing in pre-season. The 29-year-old arrived at Welford Road from Bristol in the summer - and he made an immediate impact with a hat-trick in the victory over Nottingham. However with the Tuilagi brothers Alesana and Manu, Matt Smith and Horacio Agulla also competing for the two places on the flank, Robinson knows he still has work to do. Robinson told the Leicester Mercury: "It is a challenge that as a player you certainly want to take on. "I'm glad I did, I've had a couple of games already and certainly want to get some more. "It is tough, I always knew that. "Alesana Tuilagi is a legend here and there are a lot of other good players in the squad competing for places, but it is a shot you have to take."
