Love the approach the coaches have on those boys, The boys are well coached! The communication is on point and the manner how they talking to those boys. Coaches are calm and you can see the effect it has on the boys. Well done boys and even better coaches. Some of those boys will be in the senior team in the new future!
Just checked - 25% of first team squad are ex-Academy. In Leinster 80% of ist team squad are ex-Academy. Many of the current Academy have already played Pro14 and a couple have played Heinekin.
It said in one of the previous episodes it's because that's what they used to have before the RFU enforced numbers and then they stuck with the tradition of letters for the academy
This may have been asked before and many apologies if it has been answered but what has made Leicester stick with Alphabetical numbering? Its quite confusing for both spectators and officials.
@@IestynSymonds69 I was referring to the 1st team. They and Bristol used to use letters and confusingly Tigers lettered from loose head prop, Bristol Full Back. The league introduced compulsory numbering, not because of tigers and Bristol, but because Quins started using squad numbers. They've used it as a marketing strategy ever since. The ABC club!!!
It's because they can't count in Leicester and can just about manage A, B and C in the alphabet. And everyone in Leicester knows they'd have 15 front row forwards on the pitch if they could. Or 14 and Dusty Hare.
@@JedMatthews I'm trying to get into wasps academy and my school said they are going to nominate me for wasps academy trials so hopefully I can get in.
I enjoyed it but I don't people management is not good (from what I see in this doc) .. As a sports therapist and LIFE TIME fan of tigers, send the coaches on people skills training. 25% of form is in the head
No not their names. Old Leicester traction they had letters instead of numbers so 1 is A 2 is B etc. Leicester used to do it but it got stopped in the early 2000’s I think because they wanted to standardise things. Bath use to never have a 13 shirt because it was unlucky.
@@pattate9636 And yet they didn't win the world cup, put to much into one game. With all the money and players England has and they have still only won one world cup, who are the chokers now?
@@pattate9636 I didnt expect the All Blacks to win, but I did laugh when it was evident your idiots played their final the week before the actual final. The money may be in northern hemisphere rugby, but so far the world cups arent. By the next world cup it will have been 20 years since England and the northern hemisphere has tasted success at the RWC. Quite funny.
Absolutely loving this series!
Nick Boyle I have watched all of it

Cool story bro no one caress
its because there are so few proorish teams, the talent pool is so concentrated, obviously theres going to be a higher %
Can’t wait to play these guys next season 😋
The training and mindset is as brutal as I would expect from English rugby.
Call me dumb but why do they have letters and not numbers?
It said in one of the previous episodes it's because that's what they used to have before the RFU enforced numbers and then they stuck with the tradition of letters for the academy
Fantastic show. My kind of TV.
Change it up, how about London Scottish U16’s?? Big history on the club, huge success
Why doesn't this translate to the first team?
I think it has. 🤔

tradition!! though not allowed in matches!
@@neill392 the academy does, it's shown in here, they're wearing letters in the game

I know it's on trend but the soundtrack is distracting and is likely to alienate a lot of the audience

Newspaper 99 intelligent reply that mate 😂😂😂😂😂
How many of te current squad are ex-academy? How many in the current 1st 15?
20 in the first team squad, and out of those Cole, Ford, Calum Green, Tuilagi and Youngs x2 are first 15 players
No youngsters in those 6 - doesn't say much for the pipeline, which is surely the earmark of a successful academy

South Africa stellenberg high school please
Can someone explain the letters on the back of the jersey? Obviously is their name? But why?
No not their names. Old Leicester traction they had letters instead of numbers so 1 is A 2 is B etc. Leicester used to do it but it got stopped in the early 2000’s I think because they wanted to standardise things. Bath use to never have a 13 shirt because it was unlucky.
All that money invested and still would get slapped by New Zealand first 15s

12 yr old South African . Grey college train harder
dARA dARE please Shutup 😂🤣 I always see these comments from South Africans and Australians and it’s such bollocks
Shut up
No one cares about your steroid juiced 7 year olds
Sam Crosswaite talking to me?
saxon barrington You’re probably shit though so doesn’t apply
No positivity from the coaches, terrible.
Leicester second last
Boy the edits are awful, constant cuts and jumps between footage especially during the game footage really hard to watch
