Leicester 20 Bath 15:RICHARD COCKERILL is adamant. Julien Dupuy, scorer of the last-gasp try which took Leicester into the Heineken Cup semi-finals, will still be a Tiger next season. No matter that big French clubs are waving their cheque-books or that the scrum-half hankers to return home.
“He is under contract,” said Leicester’s acting head coach Cockerill. “His girlfriend is a little bit unsettled.

However, he will be here next year.”
